From Alaba International Market, board a 'Mile 2' bound commercial bus (danfo). These are readily available at the market's main exit points.
At Mile 2, alight and proceed to the 'Oshodi' bound bus stop. Board a danfo heading towards Oshodi Terminal.
From Oshodi Terminal (either Isale or Oke), look for buses heading towards 'Palmgrove', 'Fadeyi', or 'Iyana-Oworo'. 'Palmgrove' is the most direct option. If a direct bus to Bariga is available, take it.
If you alighted at Palmgrove or Fadeyi, cross the road and take a mini-danfo or Keke Napep directly into Bariga. Specify your exact destination within Bariga to the driver.
Avoid peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible, as traffic on the Mile 2-Oshodi axis can be severe.
Always confirm your destination and fare before boarding. Don't be afraid to haggle slightly if you feel the price is exorbitant.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses and terminals.
Consider using the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) from Mile 2 to Oshodi if available and less crowded, though it might not save significant time due to potential queues.
