Best Time to Travel

To beat the extreme Lagos morning traffic, it is best to leave Oniru before 6:00 AM or wait until the peak period drops after 10:30 AM. For evening travel from the Island back to the Mainland, avoid leaving between 4:30 PM and 8:00 PM unless you are prepared to sit in heavy gridlock.

Safety Rating

Medium - Commuters must remain highly alert. Pickpockets operate heavily at major mainland interchanges like Ojota and Oshodi under-bridge, especially at night. Be careful with your phones and wallets inside Danfo buses. One-chance buses (fake commercial vehicles used by criminals to rob passengers) are common on long-distance routes along the Third Mainland Bridge corridor; always board your bus at designated park facilities or crowded, well-recognized bus stops rather than isolated areas.

BRT / Rail / Water

There is no direct BRT or rail service running from Oniru all the way to Ojodu. However, you can connect to the standard regulated BRT lane once you get to Ojota Bus Stop or use the Blue Line rail to move from nearby Marina to Mile 2 if you are taking a different route completely, though it does not serve this specific corridor directly.
