From Apongbon, walk or take a short Danfo/Keke to CMS Bus Stop/Terminal.
At CMS BRT Terminal, board a BRT bus heading towards Ikorodu. Ensure you have a BRT card or purchase one and load it.
Alight at the Ikorodu BRT Terminal (Ikorodu Garage).
From Ikorodu Garage, take a Keke Napep or a shared Danfo heading to Ipakodo. Confirm the destination with the driver.
BRT buses are generally safer, more comfortable, and have dedicated lanes, making them often faster.
Always have your BRT card ready and loaded. You can top it up at BRT terminals.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially at crowded terminals.
The journey from Apongbon to Ipakodo can take anywhere from 1 hour 45 minutes to 3 hours, heavily depending on traffic conditions, especially on Ikorodu Road. During peak hours, it can be longer.
While major routes are generally lit, it's advisable to complete your journey before 8:00 PM. If traveling at night, stick to BRT buses as much as possible for the main leg and use well-lit, busy areas for transfers. Avoid isolated bus stops.
While ride-hailing apps like Uber or Bolt operate in Lagos, they are not considered public transport. This guide focuses on public commuting methods. A ride-hailing trip for this distance would be significantly more expensive (₦6,000 - ₦10,000+).
For BRT, you can carry small to medium-sized bags with you. For Danfo buses, larger luggage might be placed in the boot or on the roof (for an extra charge) if space permits. For Keke Napep, luggage space is very limited; only small bags are practical.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the traffic from Apongbon/Island towards Ikorodu. Evening travel (after 7:00 PM) can be faster but be cautious, especially if using multiple transfers at night.
Safety Rating
Medium. While BRT buses offer a relatively safe journey, crowded bus stops and Danfo buses can sometimes pose risks. Be aware of pickpockets at busy terminals like CMS, Ketu, and Ikorodu Garage. 'One-chance' syndicates, though less common, can sometimes operate in unmarked Danfos; always use designated bus stops and vehicles.
