Route Navigation
Oshodi Bus Terminal (Mushin area)
From major bus stops in Agege like Agege Underbridge, Oja Agege, or Pen Cinema, board a commercial bus (danfo) heading towards Oshodi. These buses are very frequent and easily identifiable.
CMS Bus Stop / Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS)
At Oshodi Bus Terminal, proceed to the designated BRT lane or the main bus park to find buses destined for CMS (Central Business District) or TBS (Tafawa Balewa Square). BRT is often a faster and more comfortable option for this stretch, requiring a BRT card, but regular danfos are also available.
Chevron Roundabout Bus Stop (just before Ikota)
From CMS or TBS, locate the bus park for long-distance buses traveling along the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Look for buses specifically heading to Ajah, Ikota, or indicating Chevron Roundabout as a major stop. Always confirm with the conductor before boarding.
Your specific destination within Chevron Drive

💡Pro Travel Tips
Plan your journey during off-peak hours (mid-morning or early afternoon on weekdays) to avoid the worst of Lagos' notorious traffic.
Always confirm your destination and fare with the bus conductor or Keke driver before beginning your trip.
Keep smaller denominations of Naira notes (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors often do not have change for larger notes.
Be vigilant with your personal belongings, especially in crowded bus stops and buses.
Expect potential delays; Lagos traffic is unpredictable and can add significant time to your journey.

❓Route FAQ
What is the best time to travel from Agege to Chevron Drive?
To minimize travel time due to traffic, it's advisable to depart Agege either very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or during the mid-morning slump (9:30 AM - 12:00 PM), or early afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM). Weekends generally offer less traffic congestion.
Is it safe to use commercial buses for this long route?
Yes, commercial buses are widely used and generally safe for daily commuting. However, it's crucial to be mindful of your belongings, keep valuables secure, and avoid late-night travel if possible. Stick to busy bus stops and well-lit areas.
Can I use a single ride-hailing service for the entire journey?
Absolutely. Ride-hailing services like Bolt or Uber offer a convenient door-to-door experience for the entire journey. While it's the most comfortable and direct option, it will also be significantly more expensive than using public transport.
What if I have luggage?
For travelers with significant luggage, using a ride-hailing service or a chartered taxi is highly recommended. Commercial buses, especially danfos, can be crowded with limited space, making it difficult to manage large bags. If using a danfo, ensure your luggage is compact and secured on your lap.
