Walk or take a short Keke from your location in Ebute Metta to Oyingbo Bus Stop or Herbert Macaulay Way.
Board a yellow Danfo bus going directly to Oshodi. Inform the driver or conductor that you will drop at Oshodi Under-bridge.
From Oshodi, walk over to the motor park and enter another Danfo bus heading towards Iyana Ipaja or Abule Egba directly.
If your Oshodi bus stopped at Iyana Ipaja, board a final short-distance Danfo or Keke that will take you straight to Abule Egba Under-bridge.
Always enter a bus with a visible conductor and other passengers to avoid safety issues.
Hold your exact transport fare (change) in your hand before boarding to avoid arguments with the conductor.
Keep your bags zipped and hold them in front of you at Oshodi and Iyana Ipaja.
Ask the passengers next to you for directions if you are confused about where to drop.

Medium - Generally safe during the day, but you must stay alert at night. Watch out for pickpockets at crowded bus stops like Oshodi and Iyana Ipaja. Avoid entering buses that look suspicious or empty at night (locally called 'One-Chance'). Keep your phone and wallet secure inside your bag.
