❓Route FAQ
Is it safe to travel at night between Mile 2 and Festac?
While generally safe on the main express, it's advisable to use ride-hailing services at night for added security and comfort. Public buses might be less frequent and the bus stops darker and less populated.
How much time should I budget for traffic?
The estimated 40 minutes can easily double or triple during peak hours (typically 6:30 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) due to congestion on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, especially around the Mile 2 interchange. Always add extra buffer time if traveling during these periods.
Can I use a cashless payment option for Danfo buses?
No, commercial buses (Danfo) in Lagos operate strictly on cash payments. Always have physical Naira notes in smaller denominations ready for your fare as conductors may not have change for large notes.
