Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the traffic. Similarly, late afternoons (after 7:00 PM) are better than the main evening rush (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM).
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, evening travel requires extra caution, especially at bus stops. 'One-chance' incidents can occur, so always use registered public transport and avoid late-night solo travel. Be aware of your belongings in crowded areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or rail service covering the entire Surulere to Lekki Phase 1 route as described by the provided roads. BRT services are available along Ikorodu Road, but this route primarily uses the Eko Bridge corridor. Travelers would need to combine BRT with other forms of public transport (e.g., Danfo) if they wish to use BRT for a portion of the journey, which would involve different initial legs from Surulere.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
