Route Navigation
Ajah BRT Terminal / Ajah Bus Stop (e.g., Abraham Adesanya, Lekki)
Head to the Ajah BRT terminal (or a major bus stop like Abraham Adesanya, depending on your starting point in Ajah). Board a BRT bus or a direct commercial bus (Danfo) heading towards CMS or Obalende.
CMS Terminal / Obalende Bus Park
Alight at CMS or Obalende. From there, locate the BRT terminal or a major bus park. Board a BRT bus or a commercial bus heading to Oshodi (specifically Oshodi Terminal 3 if using BRT, or the main bus park for Danfo).
Oshodi Transport Interchange (T3) / Oshodi Bus Park
At Oshodi, specifically from the Oshodi T3 terminal area or the major bus park, look for direct commercial buses (Danfo) or emerging BRT services heading towards Abule Egba or Iyana Ipaja (which is a major hub very close to Abule Egba). If you alight at Iyana Ipaja, you may take a short Keke Napep or another mini-bus to your final destination within Abule Egba.
💡Pro Travel Tips
Start your journey early (before 6:00 AM) or mid-day (10:00 AM - 3:00 PM) to significantly reduce travel time and avoid peak-hour traffic.
Always confirm your destination and fare with the bus conductor before boarding, especially for Danfo buses, as routes can sometimes vary slightly.
Keep your valuables secure and be aware of your surroundings, particularly at crowded bus stops and during transfers.
Consider using a Cowry Card for BRT services; it’s more convenient and helps manage smaller change. Ensure it's adequately funded.
