Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are very early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's peak hour congestion. Avoid traveling after 7:00 PM if possible, as bus availability decreases and security risks increase.
Safety Rating
Medium. Public transport within Lagos is generally safe, but travelers should remain vigilant. Be aware of petty theft, pickpockets in crowded buses and bus stops, and avoid unverified private taxis (often referred to as 'one-chance') especially if traveling alone or at night. It is safest to travel during daylight hours.
