Route Navigation
Agege Pen Cinema or Agege Market Bus Stop
Start your journey at a major Agege bus stop (e.g., Pen Cinema, Agege Market). Look for a 'Danfo' (commercial bus) heading towards Oshodi. Confirm with the conductor before boarding.
Oshodi Transport Interchange (Terminals 1 & 2)
Alight at the Oshodi Transport Interchange. This is a major hub, so be attentive to your surroundings. From Oshodi, locate the bus park for routes heading to the Island. Board a 'Danfo' clearly marked 'Obalende' or 'CMS'. Buses going to CMS will drop you close enough to Obalende.
CMS Bus Stop (if not directly Obalende)
If your bus terminates at CMS, Obalende is a short distance away. You can either walk (approximately 10-15 minutes depending on your exact destination within Obalende) or take a local 'keke Napep' (tricycle) or another short-distance 'Danfo' for the final stretch if needed.
💡Pro Travel Tips
Always confirm your destination and fare with the bus conductor before boarding to avoid misunderstandings.
Keep your valuables secure, especially in crowded bus stops and during boarding/alighting.
Have smaller denominations of Naira for bus fares, as conductors often do not have change for large notes.
Avoid peak hours (6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM) if possible, as traffic can significantly extend travel times.
