Locate a Keke or small shuttle bus going towards Akowonjo Roundabout or directly to Iyana Ipaja from your pickup point.
From Iyana Ipaja Under-bridge, board a yellow commercial Danfo bus heading straight to Oshodi.
Drop at Oshodi Interchange and walk to the loading park for buses heading down to Mile 2 or Cele.
Enter another Danfo going towards Mile 2 and tell the driver or conductor that you will drop off at Cele Bus Stop.
Always ensure you carry small denominations or 'change' to avoid arguments with the bus conductor.
Keep your bag strapped firmly to your front when walking through the crowded walkways at Oshodi Interchange.
Listen carefully to the conductor so you do not accidentally miss your drop-off point at Cele.
Check the body of the Danfo bus to make sure it has the official Lagos yellow and black stripes before entering.
Fares fluctuate wildly because of recent fuel price increases and heavy rush-hour traffic. When gridlock increases, commercial drivers burn more fuel while standing still, so they increase fares to protect their daily profit margins.
No, direct commercial Danfo buses running all the way from Akowonjo to Cele are very rare. The standard process is to split the journey into two or three legs, connecting through major hubs like Iyana Ipaja, Egbeda, or Oshodi.
Move immediately to well-lit, secure areas near the main terminal buildings or where transport law enforcement officials are stationed. Avoid dark isolated paths, do not show your phone, and board only clearly marked commercial vehicles.
Both routes are reasonably safe during daytime, but the Egbeda inner link route is often calmer and less chaotic than the massive Oshodi hub. Whichever path you choose, keep your personal items secure and stay fully aware of your immediate surroundings.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the heaviest traffic congestion, morning travelers should depart between 5:30 AM and 6:30 AM. For afternoon trips, moving between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM provides the smoothest flow before the evening gridlock locks the road from 4:30 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium - Commuters must stay very alert at major connection hubs like Iyana Ipaja and Oshodi Interchange where pickpockets, phone-snatchers, and traffic hawkers operate heavily during rush hours. Avoid showing expensive gadgets inside the commercial buses.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT corridor or rail line running straight from Akowonjo to Cele. However, you can access the regular standard BRT buses at Oshodi if you choose a route option that passes through the Oshodi transport hub.
