From Adeola Odeku Street, walk to the nearest Danfo bus stop or take a short Keke/Danfo ride to CMS Bus Stop or Obalende Terminus.
At CMS or Obalende, board a Danfo bus heading towards 'Ikeja Along' or 'Berger'. Make sure to confirm the destination with the conductor.
Alight at 'Ikeja Along' or 'Ikeja Under Bridge'. From there, find a Danfo or Keke NAPEP going to 'Alausa Secretariat' or 'Ikeja City Mall'.
Alight at your specific destination within Alausa.
Always confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid disputes.
Be mindful of your belongings in crowded buses and bus stops.
If a bus is full, wait for the next one; don't force your way in for comfort and safety.
LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and VIO (Vehicle Inspection Office) officials are common along this route, especially around CMS/Obalende and Ikeja, ensuring traffic rules are followed.
The cheapest way is usually by using a combination of Danfo buses, which involves multiple stages and changes. This typically costs between ₦750 - ₦1250 depending on traffic and specific bus stop fares.
While the ideal time is 21 minutes, actual travel time by public transport can range from 1 hour to 2.5 hours, especially during peak traffic periods (morning and evening rush hours).
Daytime travel is generally safe. For night travel, it's advisable to use well-lit, busy bus stops and established transport options like BRT if available. Avoid boarding 'one-chance' vehicles (unregistered taxis/buses). Always be aware of your surroundings.
While ride-hailing apps are available, this guide focuses on public transport options to provide alternatives for travelers who prefer or require them. Public transport can be more cost-effective but may take longer.
Key bus stops include CMS, Obalende, Maryland, Ikeja Under Bridge, Ikeja Along, and Alausa Secretariat. These are major hubs where you can easily find connecting buses.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late evenings (after 8:00 PM) to avoid severe peak hour traffic. Mid-day (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) can also offer relatively lighter traffic, though still unpredictable.
Safety Rating
Medium. Daytime travel is generally safe, but pickpocketing can occur in crowded bus stops. For late evening or night travel, the risk is Low to Medium; avoid boarding 'one-chance' vehicles (unregistered public transport or private cars pretending to be taxis) by sticking to known bus stops and established transport services. Always be aware of your surroundings.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a viable option for a significant portion of this route. You can connect to a BRT bus from CMS/Obalende, which will take you towards Ikeja. The Lagos Rail Mass Transit (Red and Blue Lines) is not yet a direct option for this specific route, although the Red Line will pass through Ikeja in the future.
