Moving from Ejigbo to Amuwo Odofin involves navigating the busy commercial hubs of mainland Lagos. This route mainly connects through Cele Bus Stop or Mile 2 along the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway. Depending on the traffic situation around Jakande Estate and Cele, commuters can choose between standard commercial buses (Danfo), connecting tricycles (Keke), or private ride-hailing services. Due to recent fuel price increases, transport costs fluctuate significantly between morning rush hours and evening periods.

Go to Ejigbo Bus Stop or Jakande Gate and board a yellow commercial bus (Danfo) going directly to Cele Bus Stop.
Drop at Cele Bus Stop along the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway and cross the pedestrian bridge to the other side of the road.
From Cele Express, enter another Danfo bus heading towards Mile 2 or directly into Amuwo Odofin/Festac.
Tell the conductor you will drop at Mile 2 Under-bridge or Festac First Gate, then take a short Keke or walk into your final street in Amuwo Odofin.
Always enter the bus with 'change' (small Naira notes) to avoid serious arguments with conductors.
Hold your phone firmly inside the bus, especially when traffic slows down around Cele Bus Stop.
If you are confused about where to drop, tell the driver or conductor before the journey starts to alert you when you reach Amuwo Odofin.
Avoid sitting next to the door in a Danfo to prevent street boys from snatching your bag through the window.
Because of the current fuel price situation, if you are using public commercial buses (Danfo), you should budget between ₦1,500 and ₦2,500 for a one-way trip. If you choose to use ride-hailing apps like Bolt or Uber, it will cost you anywhere between ₦6,000 and ₦9,500 depending on the time of day and traffic density.
No, there are no direct BRT buses or train lines that connect Ejigbo directly to Amuwo Odofin. You must use the regular yellow commercial buses (Danfo) or tricycles (Keke) to make your connections through Cele Bus Stop or Mile 2.
The most dangerous spots where pickpockets operate are Cele Bus Stop, Jakande Gate, and Mile 2 Under-bridge. Be very careful with your mobile phones, wallets, and bags in these areas, especially when people are rushing to board buses during early morning or late evening hours.
If heavy rain starts, expect immediate traffic delays around Jakande Gate and Cele Bus Stop due to flash floods. Fares will also go up immediately. It is best to find a safe shop or filling station to wait out the heavy downpour if you have not boarded a vehicle yet, as movement becomes very slow and difficult.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the heavy morning traffic, the best time to leave Ejigbo is between 6:00 AM and 6:45 AM. For afternoon travel, the road is relatively free between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. In the evening, try to move before 4:30 PM or wait until after 8:00 PM when the gridlock begins to ease.
Safety Rating
Medium - Be very careful with your phones and wallets at Cele Bus Stop and Mile 2, especially when it is dark (before 6:30 AM and after 7:00 PM). Avoid entering 'one-chance' vehicles by only boarding buses inside organized motor parks rather than roadside stops.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT lane or functional train service running inside Ejigbo or straight into Amuwo Odofin. However, you can access the Lagos Blue Line Rail at Mile 2, which is very close to Amuwo Odofin, if you are connecting to or from Lagos Island.
