Locate the main Ajah Market Bustop, a prominent public transport hub situated directly on the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
From the Ajah Market Bustop, look for yellow commercial buses (Danfo) displaying signs for destinations like 'Sangotedo', 'Abijo', 'Awoyaya', or 'Lakowe'. Confirm with the conductor that they are going specifically through Sangotedo.
Board the bus and pay the conductor. Alight at your desired destination within Sangotedo, such as Novare Mall, Fara Park, Blenco Supermarket, or a specific bus stop near your final address.
Always have small denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares, as conductors may not always have change for larger notes.
