Moving from Ajao Estate to Oshodi is a short but busy journey. Because they are close to each other, you can quickly move between both places using commercial yellow buses (Danfo), tricycles (Keke Marwa), or ride-hailing apps. However, because this route connects to the international airport and major markets, traffic can lock up completely during rush hours.

Bypass the Ikeja Under-Bridge corridor from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Traffic builds rapidly due to commercial buses loading along the main road lanes.
Areas Affected
Airport Road
Due to current fuel prices, if you use commercial buses (Danfo) and Keke, you should budget between ₦600 and ₦1,100. If you prefer online rides like Uber or Bolt, it will cost between ₦2,500 and ₦4,500 depending on traffic.
It is not very safe to walk alone around Oshodi Under-Bridge or Toyota Bus Stop past 8:00 PM. If you must travel at night, stay where people are plenty, do not hold your phone in your hand, and move quickly to your bus.
No, Keke buses are usually restricted from flying the major expressways. You can only take a Keke within the estate or up to the highway/Five Star bus stop, then you must enter a Danfo bus to complete the journey to Oshodi.
If traffic stands still completely, you can drop from your bus, walk safely on the pedestrian walkway past the blocked area, and take another cheap 'short drop' bus or bike straight into Oshodi.
