Make your way to the main commercial bus park at Pen Cinema or Agege Market. These are major hubs where you'll find buses heading towards Ikeja.

To avoid the worst of Lagos traffic, it's best to travel between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM on weekdays, or early mornings (before 6:00 AM) and late evenings (after 9:00 PM). Weekends generally offer lighter traffic conditions.
While there are direct buses from Agege (Pen Cinema) to Ikeja Along/Under Bridge, which is a major entry point to Ikeja, you may need to take a second shorter ride (another bus or Keke NAPEP) to reach specific destinations like Computer Village, Ikeja City Mall, or Allen Avenue.
Danfo buses have limited space. You can usually carry a small backpack or a medium-sized bag that can fit on your lap or at your feet. For larger luggage, it might be challenging, and you may be charged extra or advised to take a 'Keke NAPEP' or a private car (like a ride-hailing service) for comfort and space.
