Best Time to Travel

Safety Rating
Medium - Be very careful at major bus stops like Ojo Cantonment, Mile 2, and Oshodi. Keep your phones and wallets inside your bags, especially early in the morning or late at night. Beware of 'one-chance' buses by only entering commercial vehicles at recognized garages.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, you can use the Lagos Blue Line Rail from Mile 2 to National Theatre or Marina, which helps you bypass a large part of the road traffic. Standard BRT buses also run along the Ikorodu Road corridor near Shomolu.
