Best Time to Travel
To beat the heavy morning rush, try to move out before 6:30 AM. For mid-day trips, 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM is relatively free. Evening peak hours from 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM experience severe gridlock around Yaba and Mushin.

Exit Computer Village and walk down to the popular Under-Bridge bus stop along Agege Motor Road.
Board a direct yellow commercial bus (Danfo) going to Yaba. Ensure you ask the conductor to confirm they are heading straight to Yaba bus stop.
Drop at Yaba and walk towards the Akoka/UNILAG park near the rail line or close to the market.
Board a short-distance Danfo or a Keke Marwa heading towards Akoka or Bariga, and tell the conductor you will drop at Pako Bus Stop.
Always hold small change ('change' or 'lesser denomination') to avoid long arguments with the bus conductor.
Keep your bag in front of you at Yaba park to avoid smart pickpockets.
If the Yaba buses are scarce, enter a bus going to Ojuelegba first, then connect to Yaba from there.

Bypass the Ikeja Under-Bridge corridor from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Traffic builds rapidly due to commercial buses loading along the main road lanes.
Areas Affected
Agege Motor Road
Due to current fuel price inflation, if you use standard public commercial buses (Danfo), the total cost will run between ₦1,100 and ₦1,900 depending on the exact route and time of day. If you choose ride-hailing apps, expect to pay between ₦4,500 and ₦7,500.
No, there are no direct public commercial buses that load from Computer Village straight to Pako. You must board a bus heading to Yaba or Mushin first, then transfer into another short-distance bus or Keke to drop at Pako.
If Yaba is completely blocked by traffic, drop off early at Jibowu or Fadeyi. From there, you can easily take a local commercial motorcycle (where permitted) or trek a short distance to board a straight Keke passing through Shomolu to connect back to Pako without wasting hours in gridlock.
It is moderately safe, but you must exercise high caution after 9:00 PM. Areas like Ikeja Under-Bridge, Mushin, and Yaba bus stop become hotbeds for hoodlums and pickpockets at night. If you must travel late, avoid standard commercial buses with few passengers and consider using a verified ride-hailing vehicle instead.
