From your location in Bariga, find a 'Danfo' bus heading towards 'Yaba' or 'Oyingbo'. These are major transport hubs.
At 'Yaba' or 'Oyingbo', look for another 'Danfo' bus that is going to 'Mile 2'. This is a long stretch, so confirm with the conductor.
From 'Mile 2', you will easily find 'Danfo' buses or 'Keke Napep' (tricycles) directly heading to 'Alaba International Market'.
Always confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way.
For 'Mile 2' from 'Yaba', sometimes it's cheaper to take a 'short-trip' Danfo to 'Costain' or 'National Theatre' first, then another from there to 'Mile 2'.
Be aware of 'LASTMA' and 'VIO' officials, especially around 'Yaba' and 'Western Avenue'; they can cause traffic delays.
Traveling at night on this route is generally not recommended due to increased security risks, especially on the 'Lagos-Badagry Expressway'. If unavoidable, use well-lit public transport and stay alert.
It's advisable to carry at least ₦1,500 - ₦2,000 in small denominations for transport, especially if you're unsure about the exact fare or need to make extra stops.
Yes, ride-hailing apps are available, but they are significantly more expensive than public transport. This guide focuses on public commuting methods.
Don't hesitate to ask locals for directions. Most Nigerians are helpful. Specify your destination clearly, e.g., 'Alaba International Market' not just 'Alaba'.
