Download Can taking to the water beat the Lagos commute?
If you are visiting Lagos, you’ll likely be away for the traffic long before you arrive.
People are eager to warn you about the gridlocked roads when they find out you’re travelling there.
For commuters in the city, it has been an ongoing problem for years.
Journeys that should take just an hour, can sometimes take over five hours.
And some people have to miss out on sleep to make enough time for the commute.
So, it’s no surprise that people are looking for any shortcut, even if that means stepping foot off dry land.
Could boat travel be one of the answers to the travel woes in Lagos?
