At Boundary/Mobil Road Bus Stop, board a commercial bus (Danfo) heading towards 'Mile 2'. Confirm with the conductor before boarding.

💡Pro Travel Tips
Always have small denominations (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares. Conductors rarely have change for large notes.
Travel during off-peak hours (10 AM - 3 PM) to avoid severe traffic congestion, especially on the Mile 2-Badagry axis.
Confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way, and verify the current fare.
Watch out for your belongings, especially phones and wallets, in crowded buses and bus stops.
Some buses might not go directly to Trade Fair; you might need to alight at Okoko and take another short bus/Keke to Trade Fair, which adds marginal cost (₦150-₦250).
