Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is mid-morning (around 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or late afternoon (around 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM) to avoid the intense morning and evening rush hour traffic. Traveling after 8:00 PM is generally not recommended due to increased safety risks and fewer available buses.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, it's important to be aware of your surroundings, especially at major bus stops like Oshodi or Mile 2. 'One-chance' buses (buses with criminals posing as passengers/drivers) are a risk, particularly late in the evening or on less busy routes. Always board at designated, busy bus stops. Pickpocketing is also common in crowded areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of the journey (e.g., from CMS/Obalende to Oshodi). This offers a more structured and sometimes faster option on dedicated lanes. There is no rail service connecting Lekki directly to Unity Estate.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
