From Ajah Market, walk or take a short Keke Napep/local bus ride to the Ajah Underbridge/Bus Stop. Look for commercial buses (Danfo) heading to 'CMS', 'Marina', or 'Obalende'. Confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding.
At CMS or TBS (Terminus Bus Stop, which is very close to CMS), disembark. Locate the bus park where vehicles load for 'Mile 2' or 'Orile'. Aim for a bus going directly to 'Mile 2' as it offers easier connections to Ajegunle.
Upon arrival at Mile 2, disembark at the main bus stop, often referred to as 'Mile 2 Underbridge'. From here, you will find numerous Keke Napeps (tricycles) and smaller commercial buses specifically heading into various parts of Ajegunle (e.g., 'Boundary', 'Tolu', 'Alafia'). Ask for your specific Ajegunle destination to ensure you board the correct one.
Travel early in the morning (before 6 AM) or late in the evening (after 8 PM) on weekdays to significantly reduce travel time due to lighter traffic.
Always confirm the destination and fare with the conductor before boarding any bus to avoid misunderstandings.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded bus stops and buses, and be mindful of pickpockets.
Carry smaller denominations of Naira for easy transactions, as conductors may not always have change for large notes.
Be prepared for potential delays due to Lagos traffic congestion, particularly during peak hours.
Yes, it is generally safe, especially during daylight hours. However, like any major city, it's crucial to be aware of your surroundings, keep your belongings secure (e.g., phone, wallet), and avoid flashing valuables. Traveling very late at night is less advisable for safety reasons.
The best times to travel to avoid the worst of Lagos traffic are very early in the morning (e.g., between 5:00 AM and 6:30 AM) or later in the evening (e.g., after 8:00 PM) on weekdays. Weekends generally experience lighter traffic, with Saturday mornings often being the least congested.
No, there are no direct commercial buses (Danfo) from Ajah to Ajegunle. This journey requires at least two to three different connections, typically involving major transport hubs like CMS/TBS on the Island and Mile 2 on the Mainland.
While BRT buses do not operate directly from Ajah to Ajegunle, you might find BRT options for the first leg of your journey from Ajah towards CMS/TBS (depending on specific BRT route expansions by ), which can offer a slightly more structured and comfortable ride. However, subsequent connections from CMS/TBS to Mile 2 and then Ajegunle would still typically involve standard commercial buses or Keke Napeps.
Danfo buses have limited space, especially when crowded. For the long Ajah to Ajegunle route, it's advisable to travel with minimal luggage – a backpack or a small bag that can fit on your lap or at your feet. Large suitcases are usually not practical for this mode of transport.
