From Mainland (Yaba, Ojota, Maryland, Ikeja)

The route from the Mainland is generally more straightforward as you're already on the 'mainland' side of Lagos.

• **Step 1: Get to Ikorodu Garage or Agric.** From places like Yaba, Ojota, or Maryland, enter a bus specifically going to "Ikorodu Garage" or "Agric, Ikorodu". These are common routes. If you are at Ikeja, you might first need to get to Ojota or Ketu, then take a bus to Ikorodu.
• **Step 2: From Ikorodu Garage/Agric to Elepe.** At Ikorodu Garage or Agric bus stop, look for Keke Napeps or small buses going towards Ijede Road or directly to Elepe. Clearly state "Elepe" to the driver or conductor.

From Berger (Lagos-Ibadan Expressway)

For those coming from outside Lagos or the Berger axis, you'll also aim for Ikorodu.

• **Step 1: Get to Ojota.** From Berger, enter a bus going to Ojota.
• **Step 2: Get to Ikorodu Garage.** At Ojota, cross to the other side (under the bridge) and enter a direct bus going to Ikorodu Garage.
• **Step 3: From Ikorodu Garage to Elepe.** From Ikorodu Garage, take a Keke Napep or smaller bus heading to Elepe via Ijede Road.
