Navigating from Alausa to Mile 12 Market involves a multi-modal journey, typically beginning with a bus ride towards Ketu/Ojota, followed by another bus directly to Mile 12. For a more convenient but pricier option, ride-hailing services are readily available. Expect varying travel times due to Lagos traffic, especially during peak hours.

Head to the Alausa Secretariat main gate bus stop or the bus stop near the Mobil filling station on Obafemi Awolowo Way. Look for yellow commercial buses (Danfo) specifically going to "Ojota" or "Ketu". Confirm with the conductor before boarding.
Alight at the Ojota or Ketu bus stop (often under the pedestrian bridge). Depending on where you alight, you might need to cross to the other side of Ikorodu Road using the pedestrian bridge. Look for buses with "Mile 12" or "Ikorodu" written on them.
Board the bus and inform the conductor you are going to "Mile 12 Market." The market is a major landmark, and they will drop you off right at its entrance.
Fares can fluctuate based on time of day (rush hour) and weather conditions. Always confirm the fare before boarding.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses and bus stops.
Have smaller denominations (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors sometimes claim not to have change.
Public transport is usually not air-conditioned; dress comfortably.
The most economical option is by commercial bus (Danfo), which typically involves two segments: Alausa to Ojota/Ketu, then Ojota/Ketu to Mile 12.
By commercial bus, expect an estimated travel time of 75 to 120 minutes, highly dependent on Lagos traffic conditions. Ride-hailing might be slightly faster but is also subject to traffic.
Direct buses are generally not available. The standard route requires at least one transfer, usually at a major hub like Ojota or Ketu.
Public transport in Lagos is generally safe, especially during the day. However, always be vigilant, secure your belongings, and try to avoid traveling very late at night if unfamiliar with the routes.
Commercial buses (Danfo) primarily operate on cash payments. Ride-hailing services, however, offer various cashless payment options through their apps.
