Best Time to Travel
To beat the worst gridlock, leave Ojo very early between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM, or wait until the mid-day rush clears up between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium - You must remain very alert at major connection hubs like Mile 2 and CMS, especially in the early mornings and late nights. Keep your phone and wallet safe inside your bag to avoid pickpockets, and never enter any commercial vehicle that looks suspicious or has passengers whispering among themselves.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes. You can use the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (Blue Line) from Mile 2 down to Marina/CMS to skip Mainland traffic completely. From CMS, you can find standard BRT buses or corporate coasters heading towards Lekki and Ajah that pass through Ikate.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
