This is a full, step-by-step transport guide for moving from Epe town on the far east side of Lagos down to Alaba International Market on the west side. Because this journey crosses almost the entire length of Lagos State, you will need to take multiple public buses (Danfo) or use an express connection to save time and dodge heavy road traffic.

Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Go to the main Epe Garage or T-Junction and board a direct commercial bus (Danfo or Coastal bus) heading to Ajah.
Drop at Ajah under-bridge. From the active Ajah motor park, look for a big yellow bus or a smaller bus going straight to Oshodi or CMS.
From Oshodi or CMS, locate the park for buses heading towards Mile 2. Board a Danfo and follow the Apapa-Oshodi highway down to the last stop.
At Mile 2, enter another Danfo going towards Okokomaiko or Badagry, and tell the conductor you will drop at Alaba International Bus Stop or Volks.

Best Time to Travel
The absolute best time to leave Epe is very early in the morning between 4:30 AM and 5:30 AM so you can cross the Lekki-Ajah axis before the heavy morning rush-hour traffic builds up. If you miss this early window, wait until 10:00 AM when the morning gridlock has reduced.
Safety Rating
Medium - Be very careful with your bags and phones at major bus stops like Mile 2, Oshodi, and Maza Maza. Avoid late-night movement because area boys and pickpockets operate heavily in these crowded spots. Hold your money tightly and do not display your smartphone in traffic.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, but only for the final part of your journey. There are no BRT lanes or train tracks from Epe to the main city center. However, once you reach Mile 2, you can enter the blue standard BRT buses or use the Lagos Blue Line Rail from Mile 2 down to stops near the Badagry Expressway axis.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
