Walk or take a short Keke ride to the Secretariat Bus Stop (Governor's Road side) or the main Ikeja Under Bridge bus park if closer to your starting point in Alausa. Look for buses heading towards 'Ojota'.
Alight at Ojota Under Bridge. Once you've safely crossed to the other side (or followed instructions from your bus conductor), look for buses at the Ojota park heading towards 'Berger,' 'Mowe,' 'Arepo,' or 'Lagos-Ibadan Expressway'.
Fares are subject to slight increases during peak hours (morning/evening rush) or heavy rain.
Have smaller denominations (₦50, ₦100, ₦200) ready for bus fares, as conductors may not always have change for large notes.
Confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid misunderstandings.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops.

The cheapest way is by commercial bus (Danfo), costing between ₦450 - ₦650 for a two-leg journey (Alausa to Ojota, then Ojota to Berger).
On average, the journey takes about 50-70 minutes by commercial bus, depending heavily on traffic conditions. Ride-hailing might be slightly faster if traffic is moderate.
Direct buses from Alausa specifically to Berger are rare. The most common and reliable route involves a connection at a major hub like Ojota.
While generally safe during the day, exercise caution when traveling at night. Stick to major bus stops and well-lit areas. Ride-hailing services are recommended for nighttime travel for added security.
For the commercial bus option, expect to pay ₦250-₦350 from Alausa to Ojota, and ₦200-₦300 from Ojota to Berger, totaling ₦450-₦650. Ride-hailing will cost significantly more, from ₦3500-₦6000.
