From Alaka Estate, take a Keke Napep or a short Danfo bus to Ojuelegba.
At Ojuelegba, cross to the side heading towards Fadeyi/Ikorodu Road. Board a Danfo bus going to Maryland or Ojota. Confirm with the conductor before boarding.
From Maryland or Ojota, take another Danfo or Keke Napep directly into Alausa. Look for buses or Kekes heading to 'Secretariat' or 'Alausa'.
Always confirm the destination with the conductor before paying.
Be mindful of your belongings in crowded buses and bus stops.
Fares can increase during peak hours or heavy rain.
The best times are very early in the morning, before 6:30 AM, or late morning, after 10:00 AM. Avoid the evening rush hour from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
No, there are no direct public transport buses (Danfo or BRT) that ply this exact route without requiring at least one change. You will need multiple transfers.
While public transport is available, it is generally safer to complete your journey during daylight hours. If you must travel at night, use well-lit, busy bus stops and consider a reputable, pre-booked taxi (though not covered in this public transport guide).
For Danfo, small to medium-sized bags are manageable. Large luggage might be difficult and could incur an extra charge ('attachment' fee) if it occupies a seat. BRT buses have limited space for luggage, usually at the front or in designated areas, but are not ideal for very large items.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) to avoid morning rush hour. Afternoons (after 3:00 PM) are often congested, so plan for longer travel times. Weekends generally have lighter traffic.
Safety Rating
Medium. While public transport like Danfo and BRT are generally safe during the day, it's advisable to be aware of your surroundings, especially during late evenings or in crowded areas. 'One-chance' incidents are rare on established public routes but always use reputable transport. Keep valuables secure.
