❓Route FAQ
What is the best time to travel from Oshodi to Gbagada to avoid traffic?
Early mornings before 6:30 AM or late evenings after 8:00 PM are generally best. Mid-day (10 AM - 2 PM) can also offer lighter traffic, but peak hours (6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM) should be avoided entirely for a less stressful journey.
Are there direct BRT buses from Oshodi to Gbagada?
No, there isn't a direct BRT route from Oshodi that goes specifically into Gbagada's internal areas. You can take a BRT towards Ojota and alight at Anthony, then connect to Gbagada via a yellow bus or Keke NAPEP, but the primary BRT line does not extend directly into Gbagada.
Is it safe to travel this route at night?
While commercial buses run late, ride-hailing services are generally recommended for safety and convenience if traveling late at night (after 9 PM). Always be aware of your surroundings, keep your phone charged, and avoid isolated areas, regardless of the time.
