Route Navigation
Abule Egba Roundabout / Abule Egba Bridge
From any major bus stop or junction in Abule Egba (e.g., Abule Egba Roundabout, Ekoro Road), board a 'Danfo' bus heading towards Oshodi. Confirm with the conductor that the bus is going to 'Oshodi Underbridge' or 'Oshodi Berger'.
Oshodi Underbridge (Berger)
Alight at Oshodi Underbridge, which is a massive transport hub. Once you've disembarked, navigate towards the designated bus parks for Ikorodu-bound vehicles. You might need to ask locals for directions to the 'Ikorodu Park' within Oshodi.
Oshodi Ikorodu Bus Park (near BRT lane or general park)
At the Oshodi Ikorodu Bus Park, board a 'Danfo' bus or a BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) feeder bus heading to Ikorodu. BRT is a faster option if you have a BRT card or can purchase a ticket. For standard Danfo, confirm the fare and destination with the conductor.
Ikorodu Garage / Sabo Market Ikorodu
The bus will take you directly to the Ikorodu Garage or major junctions within Ikorodu, such as Sabo, Ogolonto, or Majidun, depending on your final stop. You can also alight along Ikorodu Road at your desired destination.
💡Pro Travel Tips
To significantly cut down on travel time, aim to depart Abule Egba between 5:00 AM - 6:00 AM to beat the morning rush hour on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway and Ikorodu Road.
Always confirm the fare with the bus conductor before boarding, as prices can vary based on time of day, demand, and fuel costs.
Keep your phone, wallet, and other valuables secure and out of plain sight, especially in crowded bus parks like Oshodi.
Consider using a ride-hailing app (Bolt, Uber) for the final leg within Ikorodu if your destination is not directly on the main road.
Small denominations of Naira are highly recommended for bus fares; conductors often don't have change for large notes.
