From Obalende/CMS, find a 'Danfo' going directly to Oshodi Under Bridge or Oshodi Isale Oja. Be clear about your destination to avoid 'short-trip' buses.

Hotspots
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 peak hour traffic. Mid-afternoons (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) can also be manageable. Avoid 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, exercise caution, especially when traveling late in the evening. Pickpocketing is common in crowded bus stops like Oshodi and Obalende. 'One-chance' vehicles (unmarked buses/cars posing as public transport) are a risk, particularly at night; always use designated bus stops and vehicles.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant part of this route, offering a more structured and often faster option. There is no rail option directly serving this route at present.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
