Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's peak hour traffic. Traveling late at night (after 9:00 PM) is generally not recommended for public transport due to reduced availability and increased security risks.

Medium. Lagos roads are generally safe during the day, but caution is advised, especially at night. Always board vehicles at designated bus stops and avoid isolated areas. Be aware of your belongings.
