Board a standard commercial Danfo from Badagry Roundabout heading towards Mile 2.
Drop at Mile 2 bus stop and locate the coastal buses or large yellow buses going straight to CMS.
From CMS Bus Stop, cross over or enter the park to board a direct coastal bus or Danfo going down to Ajah.
At Ajah, locate the short-distance Danfo or Keke Marwa heading towards Awoyaya or Lakowe, and alight at the Awoyaya bus stop.
Always move with smaller denominations of cash ('change') to avoid long arguments with conductors.
Keep your luggage light as heavy bags will attract extra costs from conductors or garage boys ('Agberos').
If you are unsure of your exact drop-off point at Awoyaya, tell the conductor when you enter the bus so they can remind you.
Hold your phone tightly or keep it securely zipped in your bag when moving through the crowds at Mile 2 and CMS.
On a smooth day with minimal delays, the journey takes about 3 to 4 hours. However, if you get caught in peak morning or evening traffic at Mile 2 or Ajah, it can easily take up to 5 or 6 hours.
No, there are no standard direct commercial buses that run from Badagry all the way to Awoyaya. You must break the journey into segments, usually stopping at Mile 2 and CMS or Obalende first.
No. The Lagos Blue Line Rail only covers the segment between Mile 2 and Marina (CMS). You will still need to use road transport from Badagry to Mile 2, and from CMS down to Awoyaya.
Fares frequently fluctuate based on weather, fuel availability, or peak hours. Always carry an extra ₦2,000 to ₦3,000 above the estimated budget to comfortably cover any sudden price inflation or changes by conductors.
