From Adeola Odeku Street, walk to a major bus stop like 'Eko Hotel Roundabout' or 'Bar Beach' bus stop on Victoria Island. Board a yellow 'Danfo' bus heading towards 'CMS' or 'Obalende'.
Alight at 'CMS' or 'Obalende'. From there, find another 'Danfo' bus going towards 'Maryland' or 'Ojota'. Always confirm the destination with the bus conductor before boarding.
At 'Maryland' bus stop, disembark and look for a 'Danfo' bus heading to 'Ikeja Underbridge' (this popular bus stop is also known as 'Ikeja Along').
From 'Ikeja Underbridge', you will easily find 'Danfo' buses or 'Keke Napep' (tricycles) that go directly to 'Allen Avenue'.
Always have smaller denominations of Naira notes (e.g., ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) ready, as conductors often do not have change for large notes.
Confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid any disagreements or overcharging later.
During peak traffic hours, consider taking 'short-trip' buses that cover shorter segments to get past major traffic points quicker, then connect to another bus.
Keep your personal belongings secure and close to you, especially in crowded buses and bus stops where pickpocketing can occur.
Yes, key bus stops and landmarks include 'Eko Hotel Roundabout', 'Bar Beach', 'CMS', 'Obalende', 'Maryland Bus Stop', 'Anthony Bus Stop', 'Ikeja Underbridge' (also known as 'Ikeja Along' or 'Computer Village' axis), and various stops along 'Opebi Road' and 'Allen Avenue' itself.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy traffic and longer travel times, it's best to travel early mornings (before 6:30 AM), late mornings (after 10:00 AM), or mid-afternoons (between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM). Weekends generally have lighter traffic compared to weekdays.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, evening travel, particularly after 8 PM, requires extra caution. Be wary of 'one-chance' syndicates (robbers posing as public transport operators), especially when boarding buses or 'Keke Napep' from less busy or dimly lit stops. Always use well-lit routes and avoid isolated areas. Keep your valuables secure and out of sight.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) buses are available on major parts of Ikorodu Road, offering a more structured and often faster transport option due to dedicated lanes. There are no direct train services connecting Adeola Odeku to Allen Avenue for this intra-city route.
