Moving from Alausa to Oyingbo takes you from the quiet state secretariat area down into the busy market heart of Mainland Lagos. Because of high fuel prices and heavy traffic on Ikorodu Road, you need to plan your time and money carefully. You can use local yellow buses (Danfo), the new blue trains, or ride-hailing apps.

Take a short walk from Alausa Secretariat to the main road at Secretariat Bus Stop or Under-bridge.
Board a short-distance Danfo bus or take a Keke going to Ojota Bus Stop.
Drop at Ojota and cross the pedestrian bridge to the other side, then enter a big Danfo going straight to Yaba or Oyingbo.
If the bus stops at Yaba, drop at Yaba Bus Stop and board a final short mini-bus or Keke straight into Oyingbo Market.
Always hold your small change (change money) in your hand to avoid fighting with the bus conductor.
Keep your bag in front of your chest when walking through Yaba and Oyingbo markets.
Ask the conductor if the bus is going to 'Oyingbo straight' before you enter.
Check your pockets before you step out of the bus.

Bypass the Ikeja Under-Bridge corridor from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Traffic builds rapidly due to commercial buses loading along the main road lanes.
Areas Affected
Ikorodu Road
Because of the current fuel price situation, if you are using public Danfo buses, expect to spend between ₦1,500 and ₦2,200 in total. If you use a private ride-hailing app, it will cost between ₦6,500 and ₦9,500.
No, there is no train station directly inside Alausa. You have to take a bus or taxi to a nearby station like Ikeja or travel down to the Yaba/Oyingbo axis to use the rail network effectively.
The morning rush traffic is usually very bad between 7:00 AM and 9:30 AM. It is best to leave Alausa before 6:30 AM or wait until 10:00 AM when the road is much clearer.
Oyingbo is a very busy market area with a lot of crowds. It can get dangerous late at night (from 8:00 PM upwards) because of hoodlums and pickpockets. Avoid carrying laptop bags openly and do not stand alone in dark corners.
