Walk out to the main road on Allen Avenue or take a short drop to the Ikeja Under-Bridge or the main Oshodi garage bus stop.
Board a direct yellow commercial Danfo bus heading straight to Oshodi Interchange. Ensure you ask the conductor if the bus stops at the main terminal.
Locate the park for vehicles heading towards Mile 2 or Mile 12/Badagry line. Enter a Danfo heading towards Mile 2 via the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway.
From Mile 2, take another short bus or an international corridor bus going towards Badagry, and drop off at Alakija Bus Stop.
Cross over safely and locate the Keke Marwa (tricycle) park or local mini-buses that go straight inside Satellite Town or Navy Town.
Always enter the bus with your change ('change' or smaller denominations) to avoid messy arguments with conductors.
Keep your eyes on the road and do not sleep off, especially during the Mile 2 to Alakija leg of the trip.
Ask fellow passengers or shop owners for directions if you are confused at the massive Oshodi park setup.
Secure your phone before boarding as pickpockets operate swiftly during the struggle to get into the bus.
With the current fuel price adjustments, the total public transport fare using standard commercial Danfo buses and Keke will range between ₦2,300 and ₦3,500 per trip, depending on the peak time pricing.
No, there is no single direct BRT route. You have to take a bus or link from Ikeja to Oshodi first, then connect via other commercial buses down the expressway corridor towards Alakija.
Rainfall causes major tracking delays and severe flooding around the Mile 2 and Maza Maza corridors. A journey that normally takes under two hours can stretch to three or four hours during heavy downpours.
Alakija Bus Stop along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway is the primary and most popular dropping point. From Alakija, you will easily find direct Kekes and local mini-buses going straight inside the town.

Best Time to Travel
To escape the worst road gridlock, the ideal time to depart is off-peak between 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM. For morning commuters, leaving before 6:00 AM is highly recommended. Evening travelers should prepare for extended travel times if moving between 4:30 PM and 8:30 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium - Expect heavy crowds and pickpockets at major junctions like Oshodi and Mile 2. Always secure your phones, bags, and wallets inside your pockets. Avoid flashing cash or using your phones near the bus windows, especially when the vehicle is stuck in traffic. Stay alert during late evening hours.
BRT / Rail / Water
The Lagos Blue Line Rail service is fully functional from Mile 2 down to Marina, but it does not directly reach Satellite Town. For this specific trip, you can use the standard regulated BRT buses from Ikeja inside the terminal to Oshodi, then connect with commercial interstate or local commercial buses along the Oshodi-Apapa expressway down to Mile 2 and Alakija.
