How to avoid taxi scams at Murtala Muhammed International Airport
- LAGOS TRAFFIC: "go-slow" (traffic jams) can turn 30-min transfer into 2+ hours. Bolt is the same but you know the price upfront.
- Never let driver route via "shortcut" through unfamiliar areas at night.
- Confirm destination on Bolt/Uber map — Ikeja vs Victoria Island vs Lekki are hours apart.
