From within Balogun Market, walk towards the nearest major road (e.g., Broad Street or Marina Road). Board a yellow commercial bus (Danfo) or Keke Napep clearly heading to 'CMS' or 'Marina'. Confirm fare before boarding, typically stating your destination clearly.
Alight at CMS Bus Stop. Look for the dedicated BRT lane or the general Danfo park. Board a BRT bus (if available and preferred) or a yellow Danfo bus specifically heading to 'Oshodi'. Tell the conductor you're dropping at Oshodi.
Upon arriving at Oshodi (either the BRT Interchange or the general bus park), navigate through the busy interchange to locate the section for buses heading towards 'Mile 2'. It can be confusing due to multiple terminals; ask locals for directions to the 'Mile 2 park' or 'express park'.
Board a Danfo bus clearly shouting 'Mile 2, Mile 2!' or 'Apapa-Oshodi Express'. This journey will take you along the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, which is notorious for heavy traffic, especially during peak hours.
Alight at Mile 2 Under Bridge. From here, walk into the main Mile 2 bus park. You need to find buses or commercial mini-buses (known as 'Korope' or 'Lagos-Badagry Road buses') that are heading towards 'Badagry', 'Ojo', or specifically 'Alaba International Market'.
Board a bus heading towards 'Alaba International Market'. Confirm with the conductor that they go directly to 'Alaba International' or 'Volks' (which is the primary bus stop for Alaba). The bus will travel along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.
Tell the conductor you're dropping off at 'Alaba International Market' or 'Volks'. You will alight directly at the main entrance or a short walk away, depending on the specific drop-off point and traffic situation.
