Navigating from Abule Egba to Berger in Lagos, a bustling route connecting the outskirts to a major commercial hub, requires careful planning. Commercial buses (Danfo) remain the most common and budget-friendly option, often involving a direct journey to Ojodu Berger. For a more comfortable and direct trip, ride-hailing services like Uber or Bolt are available, albeit at a significantly higher cost. Be prepared for potential traffic congestion, especially during peak hours, and always confirm fares before boarding public transport.
