Route Navigation
Agege Pen Cinema / Capitol Road

Oshodi Underbridge / Oshodi Isale Bus Terminal
Alight at Oshodi Underbridge (often referred to as 'Oshodi Isale' or 'Oshodi Oke', depending on the exact drop-off). This is a major interchange. Once there, locate the section where buses for 'Mile 2' are parked or loading.

💡Pro Travel Tips
Always confirm the fare with the bus conductor before boarding to avoid misunderstandings, especially if you're unfamiliar with the route.
Keep your valuables secure, especially in crowded bus stops like Oshodi and Mile 2, which are known for pickpockets.
Have exact change or small denominations ready, as conductors may not always have change for large notes.
Avoid travelling during peak hours (6-9 AM and 4-8 PM on weekdays) if you wish to minimize travel time due to heavy traffic.

❓Route FAQ
What is the fastest way to get from Agege to Mile 2?
The fastest way is usually by ride-hailing service (Bolt/Uber/LagosRide), as it offers a direct route without transfers. However, heavy traffic in Lagos can still impact travel time significantly. Buses, though requiring a transfer, can sometimes be competitive during very heavy traffic if parts of their route utilize less congested roads or dedicated bus lanes.
Is it safe to travel from Agege to Mile 2 at night?
While public transport operates into the evening, it is generally recommended to use ride-hailing services for late-night travel for enhanced safety and convenience. If using public buses, stick to well-lit, busy bus stops and remain vigilant.
Are there any direct buses from Agege to Mile 2?
No, there are no direct 'Danfo' commercial bus routes that ply Agege directly to Mile 2. You will invariably need to make a transfer, with Oshodi being the primary and most efficient interchange point for this journey.
What is the best budget option for this route?
The standard commercial bus (Danfo) is the most budget-friendly option. While it involves a transfer at Oshodi, it offers the lowest cost compared to Keke or ride-hailing services.
Can I use a Lagos State Cowry Card on these routes?
The Cowry Card is primarily for Lagos State-managed transport, such as BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) and some LagBus routes. The typical yellow 'Danfo' commercial buses usually do not accept the Cowry Card and require cash payments. Always confirm with the conductor if you see a Cowry Card reader on a bus.
