From Abijo, take a 'Danfo' bus or 'Keke' going towards Ajah Roundabout or Lekki Epe Expressway.
At Ajah, find a 'Danfo' heading to CMS or Obalende. These buses will typically use the Lekki-Epe Expressway, Ozumba Mbadiwe, and potentially Awolowo Road.
From CMS or Obalende, take a 'Danfo' going to Yaba or Fadeyi. This route will cross the Third Mainland Bridge and go through Herbert Macaulay Way.
At Yaba or Fadeyi, board another 'Danfo' heading towards Oshodi or Ikeja Along, which will use Agege Motor Road.
From Oshodi or Ikeja Along, take a final 'Danfo' to Orile Agege. Confirm 'Orile Agege' as the destination with the conductor.
Always confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way.
Keep your money ready in smaller denominations to avoid issues with change from conductors.
During rush hour, consider walking short distances to bypass traffic bottlenecks at major bus stops and catch a 'short-trip' bus further down the road.
LASTMA/VIO are often active around Ajah, CMS, Yaba, and Oshodi; drivers might take alternate routes to avoid them, which can sometimes add to travel time.
While the ground truth suggests 26 minutes, this is likely a best-case scenario for private vehicle travel with no traffic. For public transport, expect the journey to take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, or even more during severe peak hour congestion or heavy rainfall.
Traveling at night on this route requires extra caution. It's advisable to finish your journey before 8:00 PM if possible. If you must travel at night, stick to major, well-lit bus stops, avoid isolated areas, and use busy transport options.
For 'Danfo' buses, keep your luggage on your lap or at your feet. For BRT, there's usually more space, but always keep a close eye on your belongings. Avoid placing valuables in overhead compartments if you're not constantly watching them. Only carry what you can comfortably manage.
No, this route is entirely within Lagos, Nigeria. There are no local flight or inter-city train options (like Lagos-Ibadan) that cover this specific intracity journey.
