Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy traffic, travel between 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM or 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM on weekdays. Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) and late evenings (after 8:00 PM) are also less congested but carry higher security risks. Weekends generally have lighter traffic.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, public transport in Lagos, especially 'Danfos', can be a target for pickpockets. 'One-chance' incidents (where criminals pose as public transport operators) are a risk, particularly at night or in isolated areas. Always use buses from designated bus stops and be aware of your surroundings.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of this journey, specifically from CMS/Obalende towards Maryland and beyond on Ikorodu Road. There is no direct BRT route from Victoria Island to Allen Avenue. No rail option directly connects these two locations.
