Head to the main road (Lagos-Badagry Expressway) directly outside Alaba International Market.
Look for yellow commercial buses (Danfo) with 'Mile 2' written on them or drivers calling out 'Mile 2'.
Board the bus and pay your fare. It's a direct journey along the expressway.
Alight at the Mile 2 bus stop, which is a major interchange with multiple landmarks.
Always confirm the destination with the conductor or driver before boarding to avoid going the wrong way.
Keep your belongings secure, especially during rush hour when buses are crowded.
Have smaller denominations of cash ready, as conductors may not always have change.
Traffic can significantly extend travel time, particularly during peak morning (7-9 AM) and evening (4-7 PM) hours.
The fastest way is typically by ride-hailing service (Uber/Bolt) or a chartered Keke/Taxi, as they offer direct, non-stop travel. However, travel time is heavily dependent on Lagos traffic conditions, which can be unpredictable.
The cheapest method is the standard commercial bus (Danfo). It's a direct route and significantly more affordable than Keke Napeps or ride-hailing services.
Generally, it is safer to use ride-hailing services or chartered taxis at night. If using public transport, ensure you are in well-lit, busy areas and avoid isolated bus stops. Exercise caution with personal belongings regardless of the time of day.
Danfo buses have limited space for luggage. Small bags or backpacks are fine. For larger items, you might need to pay extra for the space or opt for a ride-hailing service or chartered Keke/Taxi where luggage space is more assured.
