Best Time to Travel
Mid-morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or early afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) are generally best to avoid the worst of Lagos's peak hour traffic. Avoid early mornings (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM) and evenings (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) when traffic from the mainland to the island is heaviest.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos public transport can be crowded and prone to petty theft. 'One-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed by criminals posing as public transport operators) are a risk, particularly late at night or in isolated areas. Always choose busy, well-lit bus stops and avoid empty vehicles. Keep valuables out of sight.
