Ikeja Under Bridge / Ikeja Along Bus Stop
From Alausa Secretariat or your exact location in Alausa, take a Keke Napep or a short commercial bus (Danfo) towards Ikeja Under Bridge or Ikeja Along. This is a short connecting ride to a major bus hub.
Ikeja Under Bridge Bus Terminal / Mile 2 Bus Stop
At Ikeja Under Bridge or Ikeja Along, locate the bus park for buses heading to Mile 2. Board a Danfo bus specifically going to Mile 2 (also known as Otto Wolf). This is the longest leg of your journey.
Mile 2 Interchange / Boundary Market (Ajegunle)
Alight at Mile 2, which is a major interchange. From Mile 2, you'll find numerous Keke Napeps or smaller Danfo buses specifically heading into various parts of Ajegunle.

💡Pro Travel Tips
Avoid peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) if possible, as traffic can significantly extend travel time and sometimes increase fares.
Always confirm your destination with the bus conductor before boarding to avoid misdirection, especially for the final leg into Ajegunle.
Keep your belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings, particularly in crowded bus parks and on public transport. Avoid displaying valuables.
Carry smaller denominations of Naira for bus fares, as conductors may not always have change for large notes.
For added comfort and speed on the first or last leg, consider using ride-hailing apps like Bolt or Uber, though this will increase your overall cost.
