From Ajah Market, board a direct commercial bus heading towards CMS/Obalende/TBS (Lagos Island). Look for buses with 'CMS', 'Obalende', or 'TBS' boldly written on them.
Alight at CMS or Obalende. From either point, locate the bus stop for buses going to Oshodi. You might need to ask for directions to the Oshodi bus park (e.g., at CMS, it's usually near the Cathedral).
At Oshodi (likely the Underbridge or Terminal 2/3), find buses specifically heading to Mile 2. Mile 2 is a major hub and the gateway to Amuwo Odofin.
Upon arriving at Mile 2, you can take a smaller commercial bus (Danfo), Keke Napep (tricycle), or shared taxi (kabu-kabu) into your specific destination within Amuwo Odofin (e.g., Apple Junction, Festac, etc.).
Avoid peak hours (6 AM - 9 AM and 4 PM - 7 PM) if possible, as traffic on the Lekki-Epe Expressway, Third Mainland Bridge, and Apapa-Oshodi Expressway can significantly extend travel time.
Always keep your valuables secure and be aware of your surroundings, especially at crowded bus stops like Oshodi and Mile 2.
Confirm bus fares before boarding, as prices can fluctuate based on time of day, fuel costs, and demand.
Carry smaller denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares, as drivers often don't have change for large notes.
For a more comfortable but significantly more expensive option, consider ride-hailing services like Uber or Bolt, which offer direct trips but could cost between ₦12,000 - ₦25,000+ depending on surge pricing and traffic.
While major bus routes operate until late, it's generally advisable to complete long journeys like this before dark (around 7 PM - 8 PM) for safety and easier navigation, especially if you're unfamiliar with the area.
For commercial buses, the described route is the most standard. During severe traffic, drivers might take alternative inner-city roads, but this often doesn't significantly reduce overall travel time for such a long journey. Ride-hailing services might use GPS to suggest faster routes, but this is still subject to Lagos traffic.
No, Keke Napeps (tricycles) are typically restricted to inner-city routes and are not permitted on major expressways or bridges. They are suitable for the last-mile commute within Amuwo Odofin from Mile 2.
The best time to travel is usually mid-morning (around 10 AM - 1 PM) or early afternoon (2 PM - 3 PM) on weekdays. Weekends (especially Sundays) also tend to have lighter traffic.
