Moving from Akowonjo in Alimosho to Ikoyi on the Island is a major journey that crosses from the deep mainland to the high-brow commercial zone. Because of fuel price hikes, the fare is now much higher, and traffic can turn a 32km journey into a 2 to 3-hour struggle if you do not plan well. This guide breaks down the cheapest and fastest ways to make this daily trip safely using standard buses, express options, or ride-hailing.
Distance
32.0 km
Duration
2h 30m
Total Cost
β¦2,200 - β¦3,500
Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Board a small yellow bus (Danfo) or enter Keke Marwa from your bus stop in Akowonjo (like Miccom or Vulcaniser) going to Dopemu Under-bridge.
Cross the road safely and board a big or medium Danfo bus heading straight to Oshodi Interchange.
At Oshodi, walk to the park and find the long Danfo buses or coaster buses going straight to Obalende.
Drop at Obalende under the bridge, then take a short walk or board a final mini-bus or Keke entering Ikoyi via Alfred Rewane (Kingsway) Road or Falomo.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the morning rush, leave Akowonjo between 5:00 AM and 5:30 AM. If you miss this window, wait until 10:00 AM when the morning traffic drops. For the evening return journey, leave Ikoyi before 4:00 PM or stay until 8:00 PM to let the Third Mainland Bridge gridlock clear up.
Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally safe during the day, but you must stay alert at major bus stops like Oshodi and Obalende. Watch your pockets, keep your phone inside your bag, and avoid showing expensive items. At night, hold your bags tightly and avoid dark street corners near the under-bridges.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT bus or train from Akowonjo to Ikoyi. However, you can use the standard BRT corridor once you get to Oshodi to move towards Lagos Island/Obalende, which helps skip some traffic.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
