Best Time to Travel
To avoid peak traffic, travel between 9:30 AM and 3:00 PM on weekdays. Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) are also good. Avoid rush hours (6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM) and Saturdays, which are often very busy around the market.
Safety Rating
Medium. Day travel is generally safe on public transport, but be very vigilant for pickpockets in crowded areas like CMS and Balogun Market. Avoid evening travel if possible, and always use known public transport. Be wary of 'one-chance' vehicles (unmarked private cars posing as taxis) by sticking to official bus stops and marked vehicles.
