Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid peak traffic. Mid-day (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM) can also be good. Avoid traveling between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM if possible, as this is when traffic is heaviest.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos public transport is generally safe during the day. However, it's advisable to avoid late-night travel on public buses due to 'one-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed by criminals posing as public transport operators). Always be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded bus stops, and guard your belongings against pickpockets.
