This guide helps you navigate the journey from Adeniji Adele on Lagos Island to the popular Berger bus stop, which sits at the boundary of Lagos and Ogun State. Moving between these two major transport hubs takes you across the Third Mainland Bridge and straight down the main mainland highway. Because of recent fuel price increases and high transport inflation, prices change frequently depending on the time of day, rain, and traffic congestion. This guide breaks down the easiest, cheapest, and most stressful ways to make this trip smoothly.
Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
For morning trips, leave before 6:30 AM to beat the heavy rush hour traffic heading off the Island, or wait until 11:00 AM when the road is clear. For evening trips, move before 4:00 PM or after 9:00 PM to avoid the massive gridlock caused by workers returning home from Lagos Island, Victoria Island, and Lekki.

Walk or take a short drop to the Adeniji Adele Motor Park or stand by the main roadside under the bridge where large buses load.
Look for a yellow commercial bus (Danfo) or a larger LT bus displaying a 'Berger' sign. Confirm with the bus conductor that the bus is going straight to Berger before you enter.
Stay in the bus as it drives across the Third Mainland Bridge, bypasses Oworonshoki, Ojota, and Ketu, and continues along the highway.
Tell the conductor you will 'drop' at Berger. Get down at the main Berger bus stop just before the pedestrian bridge or under the bridge.
Always hold exact change ('change' or 'less money') to avoid arguments with the bus conductor.
Keep your windows rolled up halfway when the bus is standstill at Adeniji to avoid phone snatchers.
Check the tires and condition of the danfo before entering, as breakdowns on the Third Mainland Bridge can leave you stranded for a long time.
Listen to local traffic radio (like Bond FM or Traffic Radio) before leaving to know if there is an accident on the bridge.

Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally busy and safe during the day, but you must stay alert. Beware of pickpockets at Adeniji and Berger under-bridge, especially in crowded spaces. Avoid late-night movements as 'one-chance' commercial buses occasionally operate along the Third Mainland and Ikorodu Road corridors. Keep your phones and wallets secure inside your bags.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT bus or regular train service that runs directly from Adeniji to Berger. However, you can access the BRT network if you take a short connection to CMS or Obalende first, or if you stop at Ojota and board a regulated BRT bus heading straight to Berger.

Areas Affected
Third Mainland Bridge
Because of fuel price inflation, a direct Danfo bus now costs between β¦1,500 and β¦2,300. If you decide to go through an alternative route by stopping at Ojota first, the total cost will range from β¦1,600 to β¦2,500 depending on the time of day and traffic.
No, there is no direct BRT bus from Adeniji Adele to Berger. You must either take a standard yellow Danfo bus or travel first to Ojota or CMS to board a regulated high-capacity bus.
The safest time to travel is during daylight hours, specifically between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Avoid traveling very early in the morning (before 5:00 AM) or late at night (after 10:00 PM) to minimize the risk of traffic robbery and commercial bus scams.
On a clear day without traffic, the trip takes about 35 to 45 minutes. However, during evening peak hours or when it rains, heavy gridlock on the Third Mainland Bridge, Ketu, and Ojota can easily extend the travel time to 2 hours or more.
