Moving from Ejigbo to Mile 2 is a very common daily journey in Lagos. The trip can be straightforward or highly stressful depending on the time of day and the specific route you choose. Since there is no direct commercial bus from the heart of Ejigbo straight to Mile 2, you will need to make a few connections. This guide breaks down the easiest, cheapest, and most comfortable options to help you navigate this busy commercial corridor safely and within a reasonable budget despite recent fuel price increases.

Go to Ejigbo Bus Stop or NNPC Bus Stop and board a small commercial bus (Danfo) heading to Cele Bus Stop.
Drop at Cele Bus Stop along the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway, cross the pedestrian bridge safely to the other side of the express.
Stand by the expressway at Cele and board a bigger Danfo or white 'Lt' bus going straight to Mile 2.
Stay on the bus as it moves past Itire, Iyana Isolo, and Maza Maza, then disembark at the final stop at Mile 2.
Always enter the bus with change (smaller naira notes) to avoid fights with the conductor.
Cross the express road only by using the pedestrian bridge at Cele to avoid getting hit by fast vehicles or arrested by traffic officials.
No, you cannot get a single commercial Danfo bus that goes directly from Ejigbo to Mile 2. You must take a bus to a major connection junction, most commonly Cele Bus Stop or Isolo, and then board another bus going to Mile 2.
Due to fuel price increases, you should prepare between ₦1,100 and ₦1,900 for a one-way trip if you are using commercial buses. It is smart to hold an extra ₦500 in case fares go up during heavy traffic.
If there is no heavy traffic, the trip takes about 45 to 60 minutes. However, during morning peak hours (6:30 AM to 9:00 AM), the heavy traffic on the expressway can make the trip last for 1.5 to 2.5 hours.
Mile 2 is highly busy and can be dangerous if you do not pay attention. Keep your phones and wallets inside your deep pockets or bags. Avoid staying around the dark spaces under the bridge past 7:30 PM, and always move with a purpose so you do not look confused.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the heavy morning rush, try to leave Ejigbo before 6:00 AM. For off-peak travel, the best times are between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM. During evening hours, the road gets highly choked from 4:30 PM until 9:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium - Be very alert at major connection points like Cele Bus Stop and Mile 2 Under-bridge. Pickpocketing and phone snatching are common in these areas, especially early in the morning and late at night. Do not show your phone or carry cash openly. Avoid walking alone in dark corners under the Mile 2 flyover.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT lane or functional train service running inside Ejigbo itself. However, once you get to Cele Bus Stop or Mile 2, you can access the standard high-capacity buses and the Lagos Blue Line Rail system which links Mile 2 to Marina.
