Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are the best times to avoid the worst of the traffic. Weekend travel is generally smoother than weekdays. For the ferry, aim for early morning trips to ensure availability and avoid crowds.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, solo travelers should be cautious, especially when using public transport at night. 'One-chance' incidents (where criminals pose as public transport drivers/passengers) are a risk, particularly on longer routes or isolated areas. Always keep your belongings secure, be aware of your surroundings, and avoid late-night travel on unfamiliar public buses.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available along major parts of Ikorodu Road, from Ojota towards Ikorodu Roundabout. There is no train service directly connecting Lekki to Ipakodo.
Avoid boarding roadside unofficial buses at Oshodi or Ojota. Always use the ticketing booths inside the official terminals to guarantee insurance and regulated boarding rates.
