Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy traffic, the best times to travel are mid-morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or late afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM). The morning rush (6:00 AM - 9:30 AM) and evening rush (4:30 PM - 8:00 PM) can significantly extend travel times.
Safety Rating
Medium. During the day, the route is generally safe, but pickpocketing can occur in crowded areas like Oshodi Underbridge and Pen Cinema bus stops. At night, be cautious of 'one-chance' syndicates, especially if you're traveling alone or taking less crowded routes. Always opt for well-lit, busy public transport points.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT buses are available from Oshodi, but they typically serve routes like Ikorodu, TBS, or Abule-Egba, and not directly to Agege in a single BRT trip. However, the newly operational Lagos Red Line train offers a direct and often faster alternative, connecting Oshodi Train Station to Agege Train Station.
