Route Navigation
Ajegunle Boundary Bus Stop, Wilmer Bus Stop, Orile Bus Stop, Costain Bus Stop.
From your specific location within Ajegunle (e.g., Boundary, Wilmer, Apapa Road), find a public bus (danfo) heading towards Orile Iganmu or Costain. Orile Underbridge is a major hub.
Orile Underbridge, Costain Overhead Bridge, CMS Bus Stop, TBS Gate.
Alight at either Orile or Costain. From there, locate another set of buses specifically going to 'CMS' (Central Mosque) or directly to 'TBS' (Tafawa Balewa Square). CMS is adjacent to TBS, usually a 2-5 minute walk.
CMS Car Park, TBS Main Gate.
If your bus drops you at CMS, walk a short distance (approx. 300-500 meters) to the main TBS complex. Alternatively, a quick Keke Napep or Bolt/Uber ride can take you directly from CMS to your specific entrance at TBS.
💡Pro Travel Tips
Always have smaller denominations of Naira (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares, as drivers often don't have change.
Traffic is a major factor; avoid peak hours (6:30 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible, especially when passing through Apapa and Eko Bridge.
Confirm your destination with the bus conductor before boarding, even if the sign is clear, as routes can sometimes vary slightly.
Keep an eye on your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops and buses.
Consider using a ride-hailing service like Bolt or Uber for the entire trip if comfort and speed are priorities and budget allows (expect ₦3,500 - ₦7,000+ depending on traffic and time).

❓Route FAQ
Is it safe to travel from Ajegunle to TBS?
Generally, it is safe, especially using commercial buses during daylight hours. As with any major city, be aware of your surroundings, protect your belongings, and avoid displaying valuables. Ride-hailing services offer an added layer of security due to GPS tracking.
What is the best time to travel to avoid traffic?
To minimize travel time, aim to depart Ajegunle before 6:00 AM or after 10:00 AM in the mornings, and avoid the evening rush hour between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Weekends, especially Sunday mornings, typically have lighter traffic.
Are there alternative routes if the main one is congested?
While commercial buses stick to main arteries, ride-hailing drivers might use alternative, less congested inner-city roads if available. For bus users, major junctions like Orile or Costain are fixed interchange points, so the primary route remains consistent.
Can I use card payments for bus fares?
No, commercial bus (Danfo) fares are strictly cash-based. Always carry physical Naira notes. Ride-hailing apps, however, accept card payments linked to your account or mobile money solutions.
