From your location within Alaba International Market, take a local Keke Napep or a short Danfo ride to the main 'Alaba Rago' or 'Alaba B/Stop' on the Badagry Expressway.
At Alaba B/Stop, board a Danfo heading towards 'Mile 2'. These buses are frequent.
From Mile 2, locate the BRT or long commercial Danfo park. Board a bus directly heading to 'CMS' or 'Obalende'. Obalende is generally closer to most parts of Ikoyi.
From Obalende, you have options depending on your exact destination in Ikoyi. You can take another Danfo (e.g., to Falomo, Awolowo Road), or a Keke Napep, or a short ride-hailing trip.
Avoid peak hours (6:00 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) for this route, as traffic on the Badagry Expressway and Third Mainland Bridge can be severe.
Always confirm your destination with the bus conductor before boarding.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses and bus stops.
Have smaller denominations of Naira notes for bus fares.
The fastest way is typically by ride-hailing service (Bolt/Uber) or a chartered taxi, as they offer a direct route. However, actual speed depends heavily on Lagos traffic conditions, especially on the Third Mainland Bridge.
The cheapest method is by using multiple commercial bus (Danfo) legs. It's time-consuming but significantly more affordable than ride-hailing or charter options.
In, expect a Bolt/Uber ride to cost between ₦13,000 and ₦28,000, depending on traffic, demand (surge pricing), and the exact drop-off point in Ikoyi.
While public transport runs into the evening, it's generally safer and more advisable to use ride-hailing services or a trusted chartered taxi if traveling late at night, especially across long distances like this.
No, a Keke Napep is not suitable for the entire journey from Alaba International Market to Ikoyi. It's only practical for short distances, primarily for the first and last legs of the public bus route.
