Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Apongbon, walk to the nearest yellow bus stop (usually under the Eko Bridge or nearby). Board a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading towards 'Obalende' or 'CMS'.
Alight at 'Obalende' or 'CMS'. From there, look for a Danfo going to 'Oshodi'. This is a major interchange.
At Oshodi, navigate to the bus park for buses heading towards 'Ikeja Underbridge' or 'Allen Avenue'. Board a bus going in that direction. Some buses might go directly to Allen, others will drop you at Ikeja Underbridge where you can take another short bus or Keke.
If dropped at Ikeja Underbridge, you can take a short Danfo or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) directly to your specific destination on Allen Avenue.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are outside peak hours: mid-morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or mid-afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM). Avoid 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM - 8:00 PM when traffic is heaviest.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, pickpocketing can occur in crowded buses and terminals. 'One-chance' (unscrupulous drivers/conductors) is a risk, so always use established public transport and be aware of your surroundings, especially when traveling alone or at night.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT buses are a reliable option for parts of this route, especially from CMS/TBS to Oshodi. There is no direct BRT route from Apongbon to Allen Avenue, requiring a transfer. The Lagos Rail Mass Transit (Blue Line) is not yet fully operational for this specific route; it would require significant detours and connections.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
