Because of current fuel price hikes, fares have gone up, and traffic can be highly unpredictable around major junctions. This guide breaks down the best routes, costs, and secrets to surviving the trip safely.

Walk out of Computer Village and head towards the Ikeja Under-Bridge transport park.
Board a yellow commercial bus (Danfo) heading directly to Oshodi Bus Terminus.
From Oshodi Oke or the local terminal, look for the designated park where buses load passengers going directly to Isolo or Cele Expressway.
Board the Danfo going to Isolo, and follow the route down through Five Star and Iyana-Isolo before alighting at your final bus stop.
Always enter the bus with 'change' (smaller naira notes like ₦200 or ₦500) to avoid long arguments with the conductor over balance.
Keep your mobile phones inside your deep pockets or inner bag compartments while waiting for or boarding the bus at Oshodi.
Confirm the exact bus stop the conductor is stopping at before you enter, as some drivers bypass internal Isolo streets during peak traffic.
The cheapest way is to take a standard yellow Danfo bus from Ikeja Under-Bridge to Oshodi, and then take another Danfo from Oshodi directly into Isolo. The total cost for this method typically ranges between ₦1,000 and ₦1,500 depending on the time of day.
During peak evening hours (4:30 PM to 8:00 PM), traffic can be very intense around Oshodi and the entry points to Isolo. The journey can easily take anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Using the train to get to Oshodi first can reduce this time significantly.
It is moderately safe, but you must be highly vigilant. If you are carrying expensive items like laptops or new phones, do not hold the branded shopping bags openly in your hands. Put them inside a plain, sturdy backpack, zip it securely, and wear the backpack on your chest (front) when moving through crowded parks like Ikeja Under-Bridge and Oshodi.
Yes, transport fares on this route adjust upwards significantly during rainfall. Because parts of the expressway and local Isolo roads flood easily, fewer buses choose to operate. This scarcity allows conductors to raise fares by ₦300 to ₦700 above the regular daily prices.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the heavy morning rush, try to leave Computer Village before 6:30 AM. If you miss that, wait until the off-peak period between 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM. For the evening trip, traffic builds up heavily from 4:30 PM and does not clear up completely until around 8:30 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium - Be very careful with your phones and wallets around Ikeja Under-Bridge and Oshodi Oke, especially early in the morning and anytime from 6:30 PM. Pickpockets operate heavily in these crowded transport hubs. Always hold your bags tightly in front of you and enter only commercial buses that look properly organized.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT bus or Train service running all the way from Computer Village into Isolo. However, you can use the Lagos Red Line Rail from Ikeja Station to Oshodi Station to skip a massive chunk of road traffic, then change to a local commercial bus (Danfo) or Tricycle (Keke) to complete your journey to Isolo.
