Navigating from Ajegunle to Alaba International Market in typically involves a two-leg journey via commercial buses (Danfo) or a more direct but costlier ride-hailing service. The standard bus route is Ajegunle to Mile 2, then connect to Alaba. Expect higher fares than 2024 due to stabilized but elevated inflation. Plan for potential traffic delays, especially during peak hours.

Locate a bus stop in Ajegunle (e.g., Boundary, Marine Beach, Kirikiri Road) with buses heading towards Mile 2.
Board a 'Mile 2' bound bus. Confirm with the conductor before boarding. Alight at the Mile 2 Underbridge or the main Mile 2 bus terminal.
At Mile 2, proceed to the designated bus park for buses going towards Ojo / Badagry Expressway. Look for buses specifically marked 'Alaba International Market' or 'Ojo'.
Board the bus to Alaba International Market. The bus will drop you at the main entrance or designated stops within the market area.
Always confirm the destination with the conductor before paying, especially if unsure.
Keep your valuables secure, as bus journeys can be crowded.
Avoid travelling during morning (6:30 AM - 9:00 AM) and evening (4:30 PM - 7:30 PM) peak hours to minimize traffic delays.
Buses might not always go directly into the market; you might need to walk a short distance or take a local Keke/Okada for ₦150-₦250 once you alight at the main junction.
To avoid heavy traffic, it's best to travel early in the morning (e.g., depart Ajegunle by 7:00 AM) or later in the day, after the morning rush (e.g., depart by 10:00 AM). Weekends (especially Sundays) might have slightly less commercial traffic but could still be busy with shoppers.
Generally, commercial buses are safe for public transport, but exercising caution is advisable. Be mindful of your belongings, especially phones and wallets, due to occasional petty theft. Stick to well-populated bus stops and avoid late-night travel.
You could combine a Keke Napep (tricycle) ride from deeper parts of Ajegunle to a major bus stop like Boundary or Mile 2, then continue with a bus. This might add ₦250-₦400 to your initial leg but offers more comfort for shorter distances within Ajegunle. Shared taxis ('Kabukabu') also exist but are less structured and regulated than ride-hailing apps.
As you approach Alaba, the bus conductor will typically announce 'Alaba' or 'Alaba International'. You will see numerous large plazas, market stalls, and a significant increase in commercial activity and human traffic at the main gate/junction.
