Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or mid-day (between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's notorious traffic. Travel after 8:00 PM is generally lighter but comes with increased safety concerns.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, it's wise to be alert. 'One-chance' incidents (where criminals pose as public transport operators) can occur, particularly late in the evening or on less crowded routes. Always board vehicles from designated bus stops and avoid empty or suspicious-looking buses/keke. Keep your valuables secure and out of sight.
