Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From CMS, take a local bus (Danfo) or BRT to a major interstate park. For this route, Jibowu Bus Stop or Maza Maza Park are common departure points for buses heading towards Ekiti/Osun states.
At Jibowu or Maza Maza, find an interstate bus heading towards Ekiti State. Look for buses going to Ifaki, Ado Ekiti, or a town along the Ifaki - Oye road. Confirm that the route will take you through Ifaki - Oye and F209.
From Ifaki or Ado Ekiti, you will need to find another bus or shared taxi (Sienna) that can take you towards Ile-Ife or Ibadan, following the Ado Ekiti / Efon Road and A122. This segment might require changing vehicles multiple times.
From Ile-Ife or Ibadan, board an interstate bus or Sienna heading back towards Lagos. Aim for drop-off points like Ojota Bus Stop or Berger Bus Stop along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
From Ojota or Berger, take a local bus (Danfo) or BRT along Ikorodu Road. You will pass through key areas like Fadeyi, Ojuelegba, and then connect to Western Avenue (Funsho Williams Avenue).
Continue on the Ikorodu Road/Western Avenue route, then look for buses or shared taxis heading towards Apapa Road, Wharf Road, and your final destination within Apapa. You might need to change buses at Costain Bus Stop or Mile 2 Bus Stop.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Depart very early in the morning (e.g., 5:00 AM - 6:00 AM) to avoid Lagos rush hour traffic and ensure you cover the interstate portions during daylight. Avoid traveling on Fridays, Sundays, or public holidays as interstate traffic and Lagos gridlock are typically worse.
Safety Rating
Medium. While major interstate roads are generally safe during daylight hours, this extended route covers a significant distance across multiple states. Night travel is not recommended due to potential security risks (e.g., 'one-chance' incidents, highway robberies) and poor visibility. Always use reputable transport services and travel during the day.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT services are available for parts of the journey within Lagos (e.g., along Ikorodu Road). However, integrating BRT for this specific, circuitous multi-state route is not practical for the entire trip. The Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge rail line connects Lagos (Ebute Metta) to Ibadan. While you could use it for the Lagos-Ibadan segment, it does not directly facilitate the detour through Ekiti and Osun States, making it less suitable for this specific route.
The Oshodi multi-terminal is highly secure, but pickpockets operate on the outer pedestrian bridges. Keep phones and wallets zipped in inner pockets.
