Moving from Adeniji (Lagos Island) to Sango Ota requires crossing from Lagos State into Ogun State. It is a long journey that takes you across the Third Mainland Bridge, through mainland Lagos, and down the busy Abeokuta Expressway. Because of heavy traffic and current high fuel prices, commuters need to plan their budget and movement carefully using specific connection points like Oshodi or Berger.

Fares have increased significantly because of the rising cost of fuel (PMS) in Nigeria. Drivers now spend more money to fill their tanks, and they pass this cost down to commuters to avoid losses.
No, direct buses from Adeniji to Sango are very rare. You will almost always need to break the journey by stopping at Oshodi, Iyana-Ipaja, or Berger first.
Only enter buses that are inside the main garage, not the ones loading by the roadside. If it is past 10:00 PM and buses are scarce, look for a registered Keke or alternative shared car (Soole) going towards Abule-Egba or Toll Gate, then complete your journey from there.
The Lagos Blue Line does not go there, but the Red Line train goes from Oyingbo up to Agbado. From Agbado, you can easily take a short Keke or Danfo straight into Sango Ota.
