This guide helps you navigate the journey from Alaba International Market area to Shomolu. Moving across these two busy zones means traveling from the far west of Lagos towards the mainland center. Given the massive traffic on the Badagry Expressway and around major hubs like Mile 2 and Oshodi, you need to understand the best bus connections, current high fares caused by fuel price increases, and local landmarks to avoid getting lost.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the worst gridlock, leave Alaba before 6:00 AM or wait until the off-peak window between 10:00 AM and 2:30 PM. Evening travel after 4:30 PM faces heavy traffic all the way back, so plan around these times.
Safety Rating
Medium - Be very alert at major connection hubs like Mile 2 and Oshodi. Keep your phones and wallets inside your bags, especially early in the morning or late at night. Beware of pickpockets and do not display cash openly.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, partial availability. The Lagos Blue Line Rail runs from Mile 2 to Marina, but for Shomolu, your best bet is using the standard BRT corridor along Ikorodu Road once you connect through Fadeyi or Onipanu.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
