Best Time to Travel
For morning trips, leave before 6:30 AM to beat the Lagos Island exit traffic. For afternoon or evening trips, travel between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM when the roads are clear. Avoid moving between 4:30 PM and 8:30 PM because of heavy rush hour traffic heading to the mainland.
Safety Rating
Medium - Be very careful with your phones and bags at TBS garage and when dropping at Fadeyi or Ojuelegba under-bridge, especially early in the morning or late at night. Keep your car windows wound up if you are stuck in traffic around these areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, BRT buses are available from the nearby CMS bus stop or Marina, which go straight up Ikorodu Road past Shomolu borders (Fadeyi/Onipanu). The Lagos Metro Rail (Blue Line) runs from Marina to Mile 2 but does not pass through Shomolu. The Red Line rail runs from Oyingbo to Agbado, passing near Mushin and Yaba, but does not have a direct station in the center of Shomolu.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
