Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Go to a major interstate motor park in your departure area (e.g., Ado-Ekiti). Reputable parks include those for GIGM, GUO Transport, Peace Mass Transit, or ABC Transport. Ask for buses going to Lagos (Ojota or Jibowu).
Purchase your ticket. It's advisable to book in advance, especially during festive periods. Confirm luggage allowance and departure time.
Board your bus. The journey begins by departing Cms, turning right onto Ifaki - Oye road, then navigating roundabouts to join F209. You'll then turn onto Ado Ekiti / Efon Road, eventually connecting to A122, heading towards Ile-Ife.
Merge onto the Ile-Ife Expressway, which will eventually lead you to the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Expect a rest stop around Ore for refreshments and toilet breaks. The journey continues on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, which may have ongoing construction.
As you approach Lagos, the road becomes the Third Axial Road, then transitions to the Apapa-Oworonshoki Expressway. This section is often congested. Your bus will typically drop you at a major terminal like Ojota or Jibowu.
From Ojota, locate the BRT terminal or a Danfo bus stop. Take a bus heading towards Maryland/Fadeyi/Onipanu. From Fadeyi/Onipanu, you can take another Danfo or a Keke NAPEP directly into Shomolu.
Within Shomolu, use local Danfo buses or Keke NAPEP (tricycles) to reach your specific destination on roads like Diya Street, Jagun Molu St, Finbarr road, Abule Okuta Road, or Bariga Road.

Best Time to Travel
Depart early in the morning (between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM) to avoid Lagos peak hour traffic and ensure arrival in Shomolu before nightfall. Weekday travel is generally better than weekends for Lagos traffic, but Friday afternoons can be very heavy.
Safety Rating
Medium. The interstate journey is generally safe during the day with reputable transport companies. However, some sections of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway can have opportunistic crimes, especially at night. Local travel within Lagos requires vigilance against 'one-chance' syndicates and petty theft. Avoid traveling late at night.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or rail service for the interstate portion of this journey. However, upon arrival at an interstate park in Lagos (e.g., Ojota), you can connect to BRT services or local Danfo buses that operate routes towards Shomolu.
