Lagos is Nigeria’s largest city and one of Africa’s most vibrant urban centers. With a population exceeding 20 million, navigating Lagos can be both exciting and challenging. Whether you're visiting for business, leisure, or relocation, understanding how to get around Lagos is essential for a smooth experience.

Public Transport Options

Lagos offers a range of public transport systems, the most common being danfos (yellow minibuses) and kekes (tricycles). Danfos cover nearly every major route and are the most affordable means of transport, though they can be chaotic for first-time visitors. Kekes operate on inner roads and short-distance routes, especially in densely populated areas.

The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system is a safer and more organized alternative. Operated by Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), BRT buses are air-conditioned, follow fixed routes, and are a preferred choice for daily commuters. You’ll need a Cowry card to access the BRT system.

Ride-Hailing Services

Apps like Uber, Bolt, and InDrive are widely used across Lagos, offering comfortable and reliable transport options. These services are especially handy if you're unfamiliar with the city and want to avoid haggling over fares or navigating complex bus routes.

There are also bike-hailing services like Gokada (available in some areas), which help beat Lagos traffic but have faced regulatory restrictions in recent years.
