Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is early morning (before 6:30 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's notorious peak hour traffic. Early afternoon (1:00 PM - 3:00 PM) is also generally good. Avoid traveling during evening rush hour (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) as journey times can more than double.
Safety Rating
Medium. While general safety is good during the day, pickpocketing can occur in crowded buses and bus stops. The Apapa area can be rough, especially at night, due to heavy industrial activity and trailer drivers. Always opt for designated public boats with life jackets. 'One-chance' is a general Lagos risk, so avoid boarding vehicles that seem suspicious or are not clearly marked public transport.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT buses are available from Lekki Phase 1 to CMS/TBS, and from CMS/TBS towards Ojuelegba/Costain. However, there is no direct BRT route to the Apapa Wharf area. There is no rail option available for this specific intra-city route.
Shuttle fares from Berger to Mowe fluctuate depending on petrol availability at the Berger junction. Expect standard fares during off-peak morning hours.
