From the main gate or designated bus stops within Alaba International Market, board a commercial bus (danfo) or Keke NAPEP heading towards Mile 2. Confirm 'Mile 2' with the conductor.
At Mile 2, alight and locate the bus park for vehicles going to Surulere. Look for buses clearly marked 'Ojuelegba', 'Stadium', or 'Costain'. Ojuelegba is a central hub for most parts of Surulere.
Always confirm your destination and fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid disputes.
Keep smaller denominations of Naira notes (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors often lack change.
Traffic is a major factor; consider traveling during off-peak hours (mid-morning or late evening) for a faster journey.
Be aware of your surroundings and keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded bus stops.
To avoid heavy traffic, the best times are usually mid-morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or late evening (after 8:00 PM). Peak hours are typically 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM.
Yes, commercial buses are generally safe for daily commute. However, always be vigilant, protect your belongings, and avoid displaying valuables. Stick to well-populated bus stops.
Commercial buses typically only accept cash. For ride-hailing services, you can link your card to the app or pay cash to the driver, depending on your app settings. Transfers are generally not accepted for bus fares.
No, Keke NAPEP (tricycle) is not suitable for the entire journey from Alaba to Surulere as it's a long distance across major highways. It can be used for the initial short leg from within Alaba to Mile 2 or for local commutes within Surulere.
