From Ajah Market, locate buses heading towards CMS (Central Moslem Mosque) or TBS (Tafawa Balewa Square) on Lagos Island. These are major transit hubs.
Alight at CMS or TBS. From there, find buses specifically going to Oshodi. Oshodi is another major interchange.
At Oshodi, navigate to the side of the terminal where buses for Egbeda are parked. This is typically at Oshodi Terminal 2 (Berger side). Confirm with conductors.
Always carry small denominations of cash (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors often don't have change for larger notes.
Travel during off-peak hours (e.g., 9 AM - 12 PM, 2 PM - 4 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos traffic.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses and bus stops.
Confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid getting on the wrong bus.
The best times to travel are generally very early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) and mid-afternoons (between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM). Avoid peak rush hours from 6:30 AM to 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
While commercial buses still operate to some extent, it's generally safer to use ride-hailing services for journeys at night. If using public transport, stick to well-lit areas and busy routes, and be extra vigilant.
Currently, Lagos's commercial bus system (danfo) primarily operates on cash payments. Some BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) routes accept card payments or apps like OPay/PalmPay, but these are limited and not applicable to the entire route from Ajah to Egbeda using commercial buses.
Don't panic. Lagos is well-connected. Ask locals for directions to the nearest major bus stop or for buses going to your next destination. Most Lagosians are willing to help. Always have a charged phone and some cash handy.
Keke Napeps are primarily for shorter, intra-neighborhood routes. They are not suitable or permitted for a long-distance inter-Lagos journey like Ajah to Egbeda. You would need to rely on buses or ride-hailing for the main journey.
