From Alaka Estate, walk to the main road (Western Avenue/Funsho Williams Avenue) or take a Keke (tricycle) to the Stadium bus stop.
At Stadium bus stop, board a yellow Danfo bus heading towards Costain. Confirm the destination with the bus conductor.
Alight at Costain. Look for Danfo buses heading to Mile 2. These buses typically use the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.
Always confirm the bus destination with the conductor before boarding.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses and bus stops.
Fares may increase during peak hours or heavy traffic.
Without traffic, the journey can be 30-50 minutes. During peak hours, it can extend to 1 hour 30 minutes or even over 2 hours.
It's generally advisable to complete your journey before 8:00 PM. If you must travel at night, stick to well-lit, busy bus stops and public transport that appears reliable. Be cautious of 'one-chance' vehicles.
The Cowry card is an electronic payment card used for BRT and some other public transport services in Lagos. You need to load money onto it to pay for your fares.
For public buses (Danfo and BRT), you should carry light luggage that can be held on your lap or placed at your feet. Large luggage might be inconvenient and could incur extra charges on some Danfos.
