Moving from Ejigbo to Shomolu takes you from the heart of Oshodi-Isolo local government area into the Mainland district. Because there is no direct yellow bus (Danfo) that runs the entire journey, you must break the trip into segments. You will change buses at major transit hubs like Isolo, Oshodi, or Mushin. Depending on the traffic situation along the expressway and inside Mushin markets, the journey can take anywhere from one hour to over two hours.

Board a commercial yellow bus (Danfo) or a tricycle (Keke Napep) from Ejigbo (Jakande Gate or NNPC) going to Isolo Bus Stop.
From Isolo Bus Stop, take another Danfo that is heading straight to Mushin Olosha.
At Mushin Olosha, cross over and board a short-distance Danfo or Keke going to Shomolu (dropping at Morocco, Oyingbo bus, or Bajulaiye).
Take a final short Keke or walk to your exact destination inside Shomolu (like Fadeyi, Palmgrove, or Akoka side).
Always enter the bus with 'change' (small denominations of Naira notes) to avoid fights with conductors who do not have balance.
Watch your pockets closely at Mushin Olosha; it is a high-density area where distractions are commonly used by petty thieves.
If you are confused about where the bus is going, ask the loader or conductor 'Shomolu straight?' before you step your foot inside.
Keep an eye on the traffic situation around Cele and Mushin by checking local updates before leaving your house.
No, there is no single commercial Danfo bus that loads from Ejigbo straight to Shomolu. You must stop at intermediate hubs like Isolo, Oshodi, or Mushin to change buses.
To be completely safe and avoid getting stranded, hold at least ₦2,500 to ₦3,000 for a round trip using public transport, as prices fluctuate wildly depending on the time of day and weather.
The Oshodi Transport Interchange terminals are much safer and more organized for changing buses compared to the rowdy roadsides of Mushin Olosha or Cele bus stop.
Never put your phone or money in your back pocket. Hold your backpack across your chest, avoid answering phone calls in heavy crowds at Mushin or Oshodi, and do not listen to strangers trying to offer you cheap goods or directions.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the heavy morning rush, try to leave Ejigbo before 6:00 AM. If you are traveling off-peak, the best window is between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM when the school runs and market traffic reduce slightly.
Safety Rating
Medium - Be very careful with your phones and wallets at Oshodi Under-bridge and Mushin Olosha, especially in the early mornings and late nights. Pickpockets operate heavily in these crowded spaces. Keep your bags closed and hold them to your front.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or train line from Ejigbo to Shomolu. However, once you make it out of Ejigbo to Oshodi, you can find standard BRT buses going towards Fadeyi or Onipanu on Ikorodu Road, which drops you right at the edge of Shomolu.
