Route Navigation
Agege Pen Cinema, Oshodi Underbridge/Isale
From Agege (e.g., Pen Cinema, Agege Market), board a 'Danfo' bus heading towards Oshodi Underbridge or Oshodi Isale. This is a very common first leg and offers multiple onward connections.
Oshodi Terminal (BRT/Commercial Bus Section), Oshodi Isale
Alight at Oshodi. Locate the designated bus parks for Ikorodu. There are usually multiple routes; confirming the specific Ikorodu destination (e.g., Ikorodu Garage, Agric, Owode) is advisable.
Fadeyi Bus Stop, Maryland Bus Stop
Alternatively, you could take a bus from Agege to Fadeyi or Maryland. From these points, you can easily find buses heading directly to Ikorodu along the main Ikorodu Road axis. This might be a slightly longer first leg but a more direct second leg.
💡Pro Travel Tips
Always confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way, especially at major hubs like Oshodi.
Hold onto your belongings tightly, especially in crowded bus stops and while boarding/alighting.
Traffic is a major factor; try to avoid peak hours (6-9 AM and 4-7 PM) if possible to reduce travel time significantly.
Have small denominations of Naira (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors often don't have change for large notes.
Buses might not always go directly to your final street in Ikorodu; you may need a local Keke Napep or motorcycle (Okada, if allowed on that route) from Ikorodu Garage or your alighting point for the last mile.
