Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst traffic. Similarly, travel in the afternoon between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM to avoid evening rush hour. Avoid peak hours (6:00 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents (robbery in moving vehicles) can occur, especially in less crowded buses or late at night on mainland routes. Always opt for full buses from known bus stops. Pickpocketing is common in crowded areas like Oshodi and Iyana-Ipaja.
