Moving from Amuwo Odofin to Coker is a short journey along the busy Badagry Expressway corridor. Because the distance is not too far, commuters have different options including yellow buses (Danfo), tricycles (Keke), and ride-hailing cars. However, daily traffic gridlock around major junctions can easily turn this short trip into a long delay if you do not plan your movement well.

Safety Rating
Medium - Be very careful at Mile 2 under-bridge and Coker bus stop, especially in the early morning and late night. Pickpockets operate heavily here. Keep your phone and wallet inside your bag, and avoid showing expensive items. Do not board any bus that looks suspicious or has passengers whispering.
BRT / Rail / Water
The Lagos Blue Rail Line runs through this corridor. You can board the train from Mile 2 station to bypassing road traffic, though it is mostly useful if you are heading further down towards Lagos Island. Standard BRT lanes exist along the Badagry Expressway but operations can be irregular.

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
Festac Access Road
Because of recent fuel price increases, if you are using public buses (Danfo), budget between ₦700 and ₦1,200 for a one-way trip depending on the time of day. If you prefer a private ride-hailing car, it will cost you between ₦3,500 and ₦5,500.
It is moderately safe before 8:00 PM. After 8:30 PM, the areas around Mile 2 and Coker bus stop become dark and lonely, which makes them dangerous. If you must travel late, avoid walking alone, do not use your phone on the road, and use a registered taxi or ride-hailing service instead of a regular Danfo.
The train has a station at Mile 2 and another station at Alaba/Orile, but it does not have a dedicated station right inside Coker. You can take the train from Mile 2 to the next station if you want to skip highway traffic entirely, but you will still need to take a short Keke or walk back to Coker.
If Mile 2 is locked in severe gridlock, do not enter a bus. Instead, look for a commercial motorcycle (Okada) inside the local streets or take a Keke that uses the inner community roads of Amuwo Odofin to bypass the main highway until you reach a clearer section.
