This guide helps you travel smoothly from Agungi on the Lekki axis to Ojodu on the mainland side of Lagos. Due to the high distance and heavy traffic on the bridges connecting the Island to the Mainland, this journey requires good planning. By using local commercial buses (Danfos), alternative park-and-ride options, or e-hailing cabs, you can safely navigate this cross-city commute.

Stand at Agungi Bus Stop along the Lekki-Epe Expressway and board a commercial big bus or Danfo going to Obalende.
Drop at Obalende Last Bus Stop, walk through the under-bridge park, and board another Danfo directly heading to Ojota.
From Ojota Bus Stop, cross the pedestrian bridge and look for the specific short-distance Danfo buses heading straight to Ojodu Berger.
Drop at Ojodu Berger Under-bridge or the final park, and take a short walk or enter a local Keke to your exact street destination in Ojodu.
Always enter the bus with 'change' (smaller naira notes) to avoid arguments with conductors who do not have money to balance you.
Keep your bag zipped and hold it in front of you while walking through crowded areas in Obalende and Ojota.
Ask the conductor clearly if the bus is passing 'Express' or 'Marwa' to ensure you don't waste time on local internal streets.
If you are confused about the terminal points, ask uniformed traffic officers (LASTMA) or stable shop owners rather than random boys on the road.

Bypass the Ikeja Under-Bridge corridor from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Traffic builds rapidly due to commercial buses loading along the main road lanes.
Areas Affected
Lekki-Epe Expressway
If you are using public Danfo buses, hold at least ₦4,000 to cover any unexpected minor price changes by the conductors. If you plan to use a ride-hailing car, budget between ₦15,000 and ₦20,000 to stay completely safe from traffic surges.
No, there are no direct commercial Danfo buses that run from Agungi straight to Ojodu Berger. You must stop at intermediary connecting points like Obalende, CMS, Ojota, or Oshodi to switch buses.
Avoid leaving Agungi between 6:30 AM and 9:00 AM. During these hours, thousands of commuters are moving, creating a massive standstill at the major roundabouts and bridge connection points.
Always settle the change issue before the bus moves. If you only have large bills like a ₦1,000 or ₦2,000 note, state it clearly to the conductor before boarding so they can pair you with another passenger or find change early.
