Moving from Computer Village in Ikeja to Apapa is a major journey across Lagos. This route takes you from the busy tech hub, down through the heart of mainland traffic, and straight into the port city. Because of heavy port trucks and road conditions, travel times can change drastically, making smart planning very important.

Walk out of Computer Village to the main road at Ikeja Under-bridge and enter a short danfo bus or Keke going to Oshodi.
Drop at Oshodi Interchange, cross over safely to the park, and board a big Danfo or LT bus heading towards Mile 2.
Get off at Mile 2 bus stop, move to the Apapa park section, and enter the final Danfo going straight into Apapa (Wharf or CMS via Apapa).
Stay on the bus through the expressway and drop at your final destination, such as Wilmer, Trinity, or Apapa Wharf.
Always hold small change ('change') to pay the conductor so you do not get stuck or dragged into a fight with other passengers.
Keep your bag zipped and hold it tightly across your chest when moving through Oshodi and Mile 2 parks.
Ask the conductor clearly if the bus is going to 'Wharf' or just stopping at 'Mile 2' before you jump inside.
If the main expressway is completely blocked by trailers, ask if the driver is willing to take the bypass or inner roads.

Due to current fuel prices and transport inflation, going by public Danfo will cost you between β¦1,800 and β¦2,700 in total. If you choose a private ride-hailing car, expect to pay between β¦9,000 and β¦14,000 depending on the traffic density.
Yes, heavy port trucks and tankers frequently park along the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, especially from Mile 2 down to Trinity and Wharf. This can cause sudden, heavy traffic jams that add an extra hour or two to your journey.
It is not highly recommended to travel this route late at night. Areas around Oshodi Under-bridge, Mile 2, and the industrial zones of Apapa become very dark and lonely, which increases the risk of 'one-chance' buses and roadside boys ('area boys') snatching bags.
If the traffic comes to a complete halt and you are in a safe, crowded area like Mile 2, you can drop from the bus and join a commercial Keke or walk to a safer spot to catch an alternative bike ride that can maneuver between the stationary trucks.
