Best Time to Travel
Early morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic. Mid-afternoon (around 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM) can also be manageable before the evening rush begins.
Safety Rating
Medium. While public transport is generally safe during the day, it's a long journey across the city. Be aware of your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops like Oshodi and Iyana Ipaja.
