From your exact location within Alaba International Market, take a commercial tricycle (Keke Napep) or a local mini-bus (Korope/Danfo) to the main express road (Ojo Road/Lagos-Badagry Expressway).
At the main road, locate the bus stop for buses heading towards Mile 2. Board a commercial Danfo bus. Confirm with the conductor that it's going to 'Mile 2'.
From Mile 2, proceed to the designated bus park for CMS-bound buses. Board a commercial Danfo or a BRT feeder bus going directly to CMS Marina. These buses typically use the Eko Bridge or sometimes Third Mainland Bridge depending on traffic.
Always confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid misdirection.
Keep your valuables secure, especially in crowded bus stops.
Traffic can be heavy, particularly during rush hours (7 AM-10 AM and 4 PM-7 PM). Allocate extra time.
Have smaller denominations of cash (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares.
The cheapest way is the Standard Commercial Bus (Danfo) combination, involving a Keke/local bus ride to the main road, followed by two stages of commercial buses via Mile 2. Expect to spend between ₦1800 - ₦2300.
On average, the journey takes between 1 hour 45 minutes to 3 hours, depending heavily on Lagos traffic conditions. During peak hours (morning and evening rush), it can extend to 4 hours or more.
While generally safe, it's highly advisable to use ride-hailing services (Uber/Bolt) or licensed yellow taxis for nighttime travel. Always share your trip details with a trusted contact.
No, there are no direct commercial buses that ply the entire route. You will need to make at least one, usually two, transfers at major hubs like Mile 2.
To avoid the worst of the traffic, try to travel mid-morning (around 10 AM - 12 PM) or early afternoon (around 1 PM - 3 PM). Weekends generally have lighter traffic than weekdays.
