Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From the main entrance or designated bus stops within Alaba International Market, board a Danfo (yellow commercial bus) heading to 'Mile 2'. These buses are readily available.
Alight at the Mile 2 bus terminal. Cross over to the side where buses depart for Oshodi. Board a 'Oshodi' bound Danfo. Be mindful of pickpockets in this busy hub.
At Oshodi, navigate to the areas where buses head towards Ikorodu Road. Look for Danfo buses specifically marked 'Palmgrove', 'Fadeyi', 'Onipanu', or 'Obanikoro'. Alight at either Palmgrove or Obanikoro, as they are key entry points to Shomolu.
From Palmgrove or Obanikoro bus stop, you'll find smaller intra-city Danfo buses or Keke Napep (tricycles) that go deeper into various parts of Shomolu. Board one to your specific destination within Shomolu.
