From Banana Island, take a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) going towards Falomo Under Bridge.
At Falomo Under Bridge, look for a 'Danfo' heading to 'Oshodi Under Bridge' or 'Oshodi Oke'.
From Oshodi Under Bridge, find a 'Danfo' going to 'Agege Pen Cinema'. Make sure to confirm with the conductor.
At Agege Pen Cinema, you can take another 'Danfo' or a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) directly to 'Orile Agege'.
Always confirm the destination with the bus conductor before boarding.
Have smaller denominations of cash ready, as conductors may not always have change.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses and bus stops.
It is generally not advisable to travel long distances using public transport in Lagos at late hours (after 9:00 PM). If you must travel, stick to well-lit, busy areas and consider ride-hailing services for direct door-to-door safety, though the guide focuses on public transport.
It's good to have at least ₦2,000 - ₦3,000 in smaller denominations (₦100, ₦200, ₦500 notes) for bus fares, as conductors often don't have change for large notes. Keep your cash secure.
While ride-hailing apps are available and offer direct travel, this guide focuses on public commuting methods. Public transport is generally more cost-effective but involves multiple changes.
Don't panic. Ask friendly-looking people, especially market women or shop owners, for directions. They are usually helpful. You can also use your phone's map application, but be mindful of your surroundings.
