Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Command Bus Stop (Ipaja Road area), board a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading directly to Oshodi. Confirm with the 'conductor' (bus assistant) that it is going to 'Oshodi Underbridge' or 'Oshodi Terminal'.
At Oshodi, disembark and locate another 'Danfo' loading point for buses going to 'CMS' (Central Mosque). These buses are usually found around the Oshodi Underbridge area or the new Oshodi Transport Interchange.
From CMS Bus Stop, Ita Faji is a short walk (about 5-10 minutes) or you can take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a local 'Danfo' for a very short distance if you have heavy luggage. Ita Faji is located right behind Balogun Market.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are mid-morning (after 10:00 AM) or early afternoon (before 3:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's peak hour traffic. Avoid early mornings (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM) and evenings (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) when traffic is heaviest.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos public transport can be generally safe during the day. However, 'one-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed by criminals posing as public transport operators) can occur, especially when traveling late at night or on less busy routes. Be vigilant of your belongings in crowded areas like Oshodi and CMS. It's advisable to travel during daylight hours.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT is available for parts of this journey, specifically from Oshodi to CMS, offering a faster and more structured option. There is no direct train service covering this route; the Lagos Blue Line rail currently serves different corridors.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
