From Ajah, find a Coaster bus or a bigger Danfo heading to Epe. Specify 'Epe T-Junction' or 'Epe Roundabout' as your destination.

Best Time to Travel
Early morning (between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM) on weekdays, or mid-day on Saturdays. Avoid peak traffic hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) and Friday afternoons/evenings as traffic can significantly increase journey time.
Safety Rating
Medium. This route involves long stretches, some of which can be isolated, especially as you get closer to Epe and Pota. Always travel during daylight hours. Use only vehicles from recognized bus parks or busy bus stops. Avoid traveling late in the evening or at night. Be aware of your belongings, especially in crowded buses, and avoid 'one-chance' vehicles by using established transport points.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT buses are available for parts of this route (e.g., from CMS to Ajah), offering a more structured and often faster option for those segments. However, BRT does not cover the entire distance to Epe or Pota. There are no train services available for this specific route.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
