💡Pro Travel Tips
**Best Time to Travel:** Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late evenings (after 8:00 PM) to avoid peak hour traffic. Mid-day is also relatively better.
**Cash is King:** Always have smaller denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors often claim 'no change'.
**Confirm Destination and Price:** Always confirm your destination and the fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid disputes.
**Watch Your Belongings:** Keep your bags and valuables secure, especially in crowded bus stops and buses.
**Consider BRT from Oshodi:** If you prefer a more structured and sometimes faster ride from Oshodi to Ikorodu, consider the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) option. It might be slightly cheaper but will also drop you at specific BRT stops in Ikorodu, from where you might take a Keke to Ikorodu Garage itself.
**Alternative via Mile 2:** While Oshodi is more direct, an alternative for some involves taking a bus from Abule Egba to Mile 2, then another from Mile 2 to Ikorodu. This is usually longer due to the Mile 2-Badagry Expressway traffic.
