From 'CMS Bus Stop' (near Marina) or 'Obalende Bus Terminal', look for a 'Danfo' bus going towards 'Oshodi'. This bus will cross 'Carter Bridge', pass through 'Oyingbo Street', 'Herbert Macaulay Way', and 'Western Avenue' (Ojuelegba).
Alight at 'Oshodi Underbridge' or the 'Oshodi Bus Terminal'. From there, take another 'Danfo' bus or 'Korope' (smaller bus) heading to 'Ikeja Along' or 'Ikeja Underbridge'. It will take you along 'Agege Motor Road' and then 'Obafemi Awolowo Way'.
Get off at 'Ikeja Underbridge' or a suitable stop on 'Obafemi Awolowo Way'. From there, 'Olowu Street' is a short walk or a 'Keke Napep' ride away.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late evenings (after 8:00 PM) are best to avoid peak hour traffic. Mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) can also offer lighter traffic but is less predictable.
Safety Rating
Medium to High. Lagos routes can be prone to petty crime like pickpocketing in crowded buses and terminals. 'One-chance' syndicates, where criminals pose as public transport operators, are a known risk, especially for late-night or early-morning travel. Always use established bus stops and clearly marked vehicles. Avoid displaying valuables openly.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of this route, offering a more structured and often faster option. The Lagos Blue Line Rail (Marina to Mile 2) is operational, but doesn't directly serve Ikeja for this specific route. The Red Line Rail (Oyingbo to Agbado, passing Ikeja) is under construction/partial operation, and will offer a future rail alternative from Oyingbo to Ikeja.
Shuttle fares from Berger to Mowe fluctuate depending on petrol availability at the Berger junction. Expect standard fares during off-peak morning hours.
