Moving from Akowonjo (Alimosho area) to Shomolu is a journey that connects the Lagos mainland suburbs to a central commercial and residential hub. The trip requires navigating major traffic choke points like Oshodi and Fadeyi, passing through several bus stops. Depending on whether you choose standard yellow buses (Danfo), connecting cars, or ride-hailing services, the travel time changes heavily based on the time of day and current traffic on the corridor.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the heavy morning rush, depart Akowonjo before 6:00 AM. For off-peak travel, the best window is between 11:00 AM and 2:30 PM. For evening travel, try to move before 4:00 PM or wait until after 8:30 PM when the severe gridlock around traffic hotspots begins to clear.
Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally safe during the day, but you must be very alert at major interchange hubs like Oshodi and Under-bridge areas. Pickpocketing and 'one-chance' vehicles are common threats early in the morning and late at night. Always keep your phone and wallet secure, and avoid flashing expensive items at bus stops.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or train line from Akowonjo to Shomolu. However, you can connect to the LAGOS RIDE or standard BRT corridor at Oshodi, or board the BRT buses along Ikorodu Road (dropping at Fadeyi or Onipanu) to easily access the inner streets of Shomolu.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
