From Egbeda (Oyo State), find a reputable motor park that offers interstate buses or shared 'Sienna' vehicles heading to Lagos. Key drop-off points in Lagos are usually 'Ojota' or 'Berger Bus Stop'.
At 'Ojota' or 'Berger Bus Stop', look for 'Danfo' (yellow commercial buses) or BRT buses (red/blue) heading towards 'Mile 2' or 'Oshodi/Apapa'. You might need to take a 'short-trip' bus from Ojota to CMS/Oshodi first, then another to Mile 2.
From 'Mile 2', which is a major hub on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, find 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or 'Danfo' buses specifically going to 'Alaba International Market'. Confirm the exact location within Alaba if you have a specific section in mind.
Enter 'short-trip' buses (Danfo) at major junctions to save money, but be prepared for multiple transfers.
Always confirm the fare before boarding any local bus or 'Keke'.
Keep your luggage secure and close to you, especially in crowded bus stops like Mile 2.
While the ground truth data states 124 minutes, realistically, this journey from Egbeda (Oyo State) to Alaba International Market (Lagos State) will take much longer, typically between 4 to 7 hours, depending heavily on traffic conditions, especially within Lagos.
It is not recommended to travel this route at night, especially on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, due to security concerns. Within Lagos, 'one-chance' incidents are more prevalent after dark. Always prioritize daylight travel.
For this route, important bus stops include 'Ojota', 'Berger Bus Stop' (entry/exit point for Lagos-Ibadan Expressway), 'Mile 2' (major hub for Lagos-Badagry Expressway), and stops directly at 'Alaba International Market'.
Yes, LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) is very active on 'Ikorodu Road', 'Western Avenue', and around major junctions. VIO (Vehicle Inspection Officers) are often found on the 'Lagos-Badagry Expressway' and entry points into Lagos. Ensure your vehicle documents are in order if driving, and be aware of traffic rules as a passenger.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid peak Lagos traffic, depart Egbeda very early in the morning (e.g., 5:00 AM - 6:00 AM) or mid-day (e.g., 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM) on weekdays. Weekends generally have lighter traffic, but the expressways can still be busy. Avoid late-night travel due to security concerns on the interstate route.
Safety Rating
Medium to High
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available *within* Lagos. Once you reach Lagos (e.g., Ojota, Berger), you can use BRT for parts of the journey towards Mile 2, offering a faster and more structured option compared to regular 'Danfo' buses. There is also a train service from Ibadan (Moniya station) to Lagos (Ebute Metta station), which can be a comfortable alternative for the interstate leg, but requires additional local transport connections at both ends.
