This transport guide maps out the long journey crossing from the Lekki axis in Lagos Island over to the Volkswagen bus stop along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway on the Mainland. Because of the heavy cross-city distance and severe traffic points, this route requires connecting multiple commercial yellow buses (Danfos) or using ride-hailing services.

Stand at Agungi Bus Stop along the Lekki-Epe Expressway and board a standard yellow Danfo heading towards CMS or Obalende.
Drop at CMS or Obalende bus stop and walk to the park where buses are loading directly for Oshodi via the bridge.
From Oshodi terminal or Under-bridge, look for the drivers shouting 'Mile 2' and enter a Danfo moving down the Apapa-Oshodi expressway.
Alight at Mile 2 bus stop, cross over carefully to the Badagry Expressway section, and board a final Danfo or standard bus going towards Okokomaiko or Agbara, then drop at Volkswagen bus stop.
Always carry smaller denominations of naira notes ('change') to avoid messy arguments with Danfo conductors who claim they do not have change.
Keep your eyes open at the Mile 2 area. Do not check your smartphone or count cash openly while walking through the bus stop.
Ask the conductor clearly if the bus is passing 'Express' or taking inside diversions before you step inside.
Ensure you put your backpack or handbags in front of your chest when navigating the crowded walkways of Oshodi.

Safety Rating
Medium - Commuters must stay highly alert at major transit hubs like Oshodi and Mile 2, especially when moving early in the morning or late at night. Keep your phones and wallets secure inside your bags to avoid pickpockets.

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
With the current fuel price hikes, it is safest to hold at least ₦5,000 to ₦6,000 for a public transport round trip to cover sudden fare changes by conductors, or up to ₦25,000 if you plan to use a private ride-hailing car.
No, there is no direct train link. The Lagos Light Rail Blue Line operates from Marina to Mile 2. You can take a bus from Agungi to Marina, enter the train to Mile 2, and then take a short Danfo bus ride from Mile 2 down to Volkswagen.
The Mile 2 Interchange and the Oshodi Under-bridge areas are the most notorious bottlenecks. Traffic can stand still there for hours due to commercial bus loading and heavy trucks blocking the road lanes.
To avoid issues, make sure you buy a small item like sachet water or snacks at Agungi or CMS to break your large currency notes into ₦200 and ₦500 denominations before boarding the long-distance buses.
