Route Navigation
Mile 2 Underbridge / Overhead Bridge
From your specific location within Amuwo Odofin (e.g., Festac Town, Agboju, Abule Ado), take a local commercial bus (Danfo) or a Keke Napep (tricycle) to Mile 2 Bus Stop. This is a crucial interchange for connecting to other parts of Lagos.
Oshodi Bus Terminal (Transport Interchange)
At Mile 2, proceed to the designated bus park. Look for commercial buses (Danfo) or BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) buses heading to Oshodi. The BRT system offers a more structured and often quicker ride, utilizing dedicated lanes where available. Always confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding.
Ketu Bus Stop (often identifiable by the market or popular landmarks around the junction)
From Oshodi Bus Terminal, locate buses specifically going towards Ketu, Ojota, or along the Ikorodu Road axis. Many buses heading towards Ikorodu will have Ketu as a major stop. Reconfirm with the conductor that the bus is indeed going to Ketu.
💡Pro Travel Tips
Always aim to travel during off-peak hours (e.g., 10 AM - 3 PM or after 8 PM) to significantly reduce travel time and avoid the most congested traffic.
Ensure you have smaller denominations of Naira notes (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors may not always have change for larger notes.
Keep your valuables secure, especially in crowded bus stops like Mile 2 and Oshodi, and inside buses.
BRT buses are generally more comfortable and predictable than regular Danfos, though they might be slightly pricier. Consider using a 'LagosRide' or similar public transport card for convenience.
Be assertive and clear when asking for directions or confirming routes at busy terminals.
