From your location within Ajegunle, board a commercial bus (Danfo) heading towards Mile 2. These buses are usually available at major junctions like Boundary or Berger.
At Mile 2, alight and proceed to the designated bus park for buses going to Ojota. Look for buses with 'Ojota' clearly displayed. This is a major interchange.
From Ojota, take another commercial bus heading towards Ketu. Ketu is the immediate stop after Ojota on the Ikorodu Road axis heading towards Ikosi.
At Ketu Bus Stop, alight and look for local shuttle buses (smaller Danfos or Keke Marwa - tricycles) specifically heading into Ikosi. Confirm the exact destination within Ikosi (e.g., Ikosi Road, CMD Road junction) with the driver or conductor.
Always confirm your destination with the conductor or driver before boarding, especially at major hubs like Mile 2 and Ojota, to avoid misdirection.
Keep smaller denominations (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares, as conductors may not always have change for larger notes.
Avoid peak traffic hours (6:00 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible, as travel time and fares can significantly increase due to congestion.
Be mindful of your belongings in crowded buses and bus stops; keep valuables secure and out of sight.
Consider using ride-hailing apps like Bolt or Uber for the final leg from Ketu to Ikosi for added convenience and comfort, though this will be pricier (₦1000 - ₦2500+ depending on demand).
The fastest way is often by using commercial buses for the main legs (Ajegunle-Mile 2, Mile 2-Ojota, Ojota-Ketu) and then a ride-hailing service (Bolt/Uber) for the last mile from Ketu to Ikosi. Leaving outside of peak traffic hours also significantly reduces travel time.
Bus fares are generally regulated by transport unions but can fluctuate based on fuel prices, traffic conditions, and time of day (peak hours often incur higher fares). Always confirm the fare before boarding.
Yes, it is generally safe to use public transport in Lagos. However, like any major city, it's advisable to be aware of your surroundings, secure your belongings, and avoid flashing valuables. It's also recommended to travel during daylight hours for maximum comfort and visibility.
While efforts are being made for cashless payments, most commercial buses in still operate on a cash-only basis. It's essential to have physical cash, preferably in smaller denominations, for your fares.
Don't hesitate to ask a fellow passenger or a market vendor. Lagosians are generally helpful, but always confirm information from multiple sources if possible. Look for buses with clear route markings.
