This guide helps you travel from Awoyaya (on the Lekki-Epe axis) across the city to Volkswagen Bus Stop (near Ojo along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway). This is a very long journey that cuts across Lagos from the extreme East to the West. Because of the huge distance and unpredictable gridlock on major choke points like Ajah, CMS, Mile 2, and Festac, you must plan your movements carefully, especially with the high cost of transport fares caused by fuel price increases.

Stand at the main road at Awoyaya Bus Stop and board a short-trip Danfo bus or a commercial vehicle going to Ajah.
Drop at Ajah under-bridge. Walk towards the main park or roadside and enter a big Danfo bus or Coaster bus heading straight to CMS or Obalende.
At CMS, walk down to the outer marina or the main park under the bridge to find buses going towards Mile 2 via Eko Bridge.
Drop at Mile 2 bus stop. Cross over to the side facing the Lagos-Badagry Expressway and enter a Danfo going towards Okokomaiko or Agbara, then drop at Volkswagen Bus Stop.
Always carry lower denominations or 'change' like ₦200 and ₦500 notes to avoid messy arguments with conductors.
Listen carefully to what the conductor shouts before you enter so you do not jump into a bus going to a different route like Oshodi.
Keep your luggage small and compact because Danfo drivers will charge you extra money for big bags.
Do not sleep in the bus, especially between Mile 2 and Volkswagen, so you do not miss your drop-off point or lose your valuables.
Because of current fuel price inflation, you should hold at least ₦5,000 to ₦6,500 for public transport to be completely safe. It is always best to have extra cash with you for emergency fare increases by conductors.
No, there are no direct public commercial buses that run from Awoyaya straight to Volkswagen. The distances are on completely opposite sides of Lagos State. You must change buses at least two or three times at major junctions like Ajah, CMS, or Mile 2.
Yes, the Blue Line Train is fully working from Marina station on Lagos Island down to Mile 2. Using it will save you hours of sitting inside gridlock around Orile and Iganmu, though you still have to take standard road buses for the beginning and final parts of your trip.
If it gets late, do not stand alone at dark bus stops. Walk into well-lit public areas like filling stations or crowded parks. It is safer to enter a shared vehicle that is full of other commuters rather than boarding an empty bus or standing isolated by the roadside.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the heavy morning rush hour, leave Awoyaya as early as 5:00 AM to 5:30 AM. If you miss this early window, it is better to wait until 10:00 AM when the morning traffic on the Lekki-Epe Expressway reduces. For evening travel, avoid moving between 4:30 PM and 8:00 PM when workers are returning from the Island.
Safety Rating
Medium - You need to stay sharp and alert, especially at major transport hubs like CMS, Mile 2, and Maza Maza. Keep your phones and wallets inside your bags when boarding or dropping from buses. Avoid night travel on the Lagos-Badagry stretch because of occasional one-chance buses and pickpockets.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or rail corridor that links Awoyaya straight to Volkswagen. However, you can use the Blue Line Rail from Marina station to Mile 2 to bypass the massive traffic gridlock around Orile and the old Mile 2 road. From Mile 2, you will then take a standard Danfo bus straight down to Volkswagen.
