What is the cheapest way to travel from Agege to Mile 12?
The most economical way is by using commercial buses (Danfo). You'll typically take one bus from Agege to Oshodi, and then another from Oshodi to Mile 12, costing between ₦1000-₦1400 in total, depending on traffic and time of day.
What is the fastest way to get from Agege to Mile 12?
A ride-hailing service (Uber, Bolt, LagRide) offers the fastest and most direct route, as it minimizes transfers. However, travel time is heavily dependent on Lagos's notorious traffic, which can still cause significant delays regardless of the mode of transport.
Can I use BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) for this route?
Yes, partially. While there isn't a direct BRT from Agege to Oshodi, you can utilize BRT services from Oshodi to Mile 12 after completing the first leg of your journey by Danfo. This can sometimes be a quicker and more comfortable option for the second leg.
Are Keke Napep (tricycles) a good option for the entire journey?
No, Keke Napep are not suitable for the entire Agege to Mile 12 journey due to the long distance and the fact that they are prohibited on major expressways that connect these two areas. They are best used for short 'feeder' trips within Agege or within the Mile 12 area to reach your final destination from a main bus stop.
