From Adeola Odeku, walk or take a short 'Korope' (small bus) or shared taxi to CMS Bus Stop.
At CMS, find a 'Danfo' bus heading towards Oyingbo or Yaba. These buses will cross Carter Bridge, passing through areas like Nnamdi Azikiwe Street and Herbert Macaulay Way.
From Oyingbo or Yaba, take another 'Danfo' bus going to 'Ikeja Along' or 'Ikeja Underbridge'. These will use Herbert Macaulay Way, Western Avenue, and Agege Motor Road.
At Ikeja Along or Underbridge, take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a short 'Danfo' towards Obafemi Awolowo Way and then Olowu Street.
Always have smaller denominations or exact change ready for 'Danfo' fares.
Be prepared for potential delays at each bus stop as buses fill up.
Keep your valuables secure, especially in crowded buses and bus stops.
During peak traffic hours, using the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) system is often the fastest public transport option due to its dedicated lanes. Outside of peak hours, a private car or taxi might be quicker, but public transport is generally more budget-friendly.
Traveling at night in Lagos requires extra caution. If you must travel, stick to well-lit areas, use established transport services, and avoid deserted routes. It is generally advisable to complete your journey before late evening if possible.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late evenings (after 8:00 PM) are best to avoid the heaviest traffic. Mid-day (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) can also be manageable, but traffic can build up quickly.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos roads can be busy and sometimes unpredictable. Be cautious of 'one-chance' vehicles (unmarked taxis or buses with criminal intent), especially when traveling alone or at night. Pickpocketing can occur in crowded buses and bus stops. Always keep your belongings secure.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant portion of this route, especially from CMS/TBS to Ikeja. There is no direct train service for this specific journey, but the BRT system offers a more structured and often faster bus option.
