Walk or take a short Danfo/Keke ride to the BRT terminal/bus stop at CMS or TBS (Tafawa Balewa Square).
Board a BRT bus heading towards Ikorodu. Ensure the bus is going past Ojota.
Alight at Ojota Bus Stop. From Ojota, you will need to take another short bus ride.
Cross to the other side of Ikorodu Road (if necessary) and find a 'Danfo' (yellow minibus) or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) going towards Command. Look for vehicles with 'Command' or 'Demurin' written on them.
Alight at Command Bus Stop. The journey to Command from Ojota is relatively short.
BRT buses are generally safer and more comfortable than Danfos.
Purchase a BRT card if you plan to use it frequently, as it can be more convenient.
Be prepared for queues at BRT terminals during peak hours.
Keep your belongings secure, especially when alighting or boarding.
Travel very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or during off-peak hours (late morning, mid-afternoon). Using the BRT system can also help bypass some traffic due to dedicated lanes.
Direct buses are rare. Most routes will require at least one transfer, typically at major hubs like Ojota or Ketu.
For 'Danfo' and 'Keke Napep', luggage is typically limited to what you can comfortably hold on your lap or at your feet. For BRT, there's usually a small designated space, but large suitcases might be difficult to manage, especially during crowded periods.
Traveling at night on public transport carries higher risks. If you must travel, stick to well-lit areas, use popular and busy bus stops, and try to use BRT buses which are generally more regulated. Avoid lonely bus stops or less crowded vehicles.
Always aim for major transit hubs like Ojota or Ketu first. From there, you will easily find connecting vehicles to Command. Ask other passengers for guidance if you are unsure.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid rush hour traffic. Mid-afternoons (between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM) can also be less congested. Avoid traveling between 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed in moving vehicles) can occur, especially in shared taxis or less regulated minibuses at night. Pickpocketing is common in crowded bus stops. Always be vigilant, especially with your belongings.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) buses are a prominent and reliable option for a significant portion of this route, offering a more structured and often faster journey due to dedicated lanes. There is no rail service available for this specific intra-city route.
