Walk to the main expressway at Cele Bus Stop and look for conductors shouting Mile 2 or Maza Maza.
Board the yellow Danfo bus going towards Mile 2 or directly to Maza Maza. Ensure you enter with your change.
If the bus stops at Mile 2, stay inside if they are continuing, or drop at Mile 2 Under-bridge and look for a short connecting bus or Keke.
Drop finally at Maza Maza Bus Stop just after crossing the bridge.
Always ask the conductor if the bus is going straight to Maza Maza before you enter, so they do not drop you halfway at Mile 2.
Hold small naira notes like ₦200 and ₦500 to avoid fights with conductors over change.
Keep your phone inside your bag or deep in your pocket when sitting near the bus window to avoid snatch-and-grab thieves.
Watch your step when dropping at Maza Maza because the roadside can be muddy and uneven.

Because of current fuel price hikes, the total cost for a public bus is usually between ₦800 and ₦1,200. If you use a ride-hailing car, it will cost between ₦4,500 and ₦6,500 depending on the traffic situation.
No, there is no train station directly at Cele. However, the Lagos Blue Line Rail has a big station at Mile 2, which is right next to Maza Maza. You can take a bus to Mile 2 first if you want to use the train system to go further down towards Lagos Island or Badagry.
The safest time to travel is during broad daylight, from 8:00 AM in the morning to 5:00 PM in the evening. Avoid moving very early in the morning (before 5:30 AM) or late at night (after 9:00 PM) because of criminal activities around the major bus stops.
To avoid trouble, make sure you ask the conductor if he has change before you step your foot inside the bus. If you only have large bills like ₦1,000 or ₦2,000, let him know immediately so he can pair you with another passenger or find change before you reach your stop.
