Moving from Fadeyi to Isolo means traveling from the main Ikorodu Road axis across to the heart of mainland Lagos. This route can be very fast when there is no traffic, but it requires changing buses at major transport hubs like Ojuelegba, Mushin, or Oshodi. Because of recent fuel price increases, fares change quickly, so you need to understand the different connection methods to save money and time.

Stand at the Fadeyi Bus Stop along the service lane and board a short-distance yellow Danfo bus going to Mushin Olosha.
Drop at Mushin Olosha bus stop, cross the road carefully, and walk towards the park heading to Isolo.
Board another Danfo going straight to Isolo Roundabout or Isolo Bus Stop.
Drop at Isolo Roundabout and take a short walk or enter a Keke if your final address is deep inside Aswani or Ire-Akari.
Always hold exact change (change/shenge) before you enter the Danfo to avoid fighting with the conductor.
Keep your phone inside your bag when standing at Mushin Olosha; do not hold it in your hand.
Listen carefully to the conductor so you do not miss your drop-off point.

Safety Rating
Medium - Be very careful with your phones and wallets at Ojuelegba Under-bridge and Mushin Olosha, especially in the early mornings and late nights. Pickpockets operate heavily in these crowded spaces. Always look around you and do not show off expensive gadgets.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is a BRT corridor along Ikorodu Road at Fadeyi, which can take you down to Ojuelegba or Stadium, but there is no direct BRT lane or passenger rail line entering Isolo directly. You will rely on standard yellow Danfo buses, tricycles (Keke), or ride-hailing cars for the final legs.

Bypass the Ikeja Under-Bridge corridor from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Traffic builds rapidly due to commercial buses loading along the main road lanes.
Areas Affected
Ikorodu Road
Because of the current high fuel price inflation, if you are using public commercial buses (Danfo), the total cost will run between β¦900 and β¦1,700 depending on the route you choose and the time of day. Ride-hailing cars cost between β¦4,500 and β¦7,000.
No, you will rarely find a direct Danfo bus moving from Fadeyi straight into Isolo. You must stop at a middle junction like Mushin Olosha, Oshodi, or Ojuelegba, and then board your next bus or Keke to Isolo.
The alternative route through Ojuelegba to Cele Express before entering Isolo is generally easier to manage than passing through the tight, heavily crowded markets of Mushin Olosha, which is notorious for pickpockets and area boys.
If traffic blocks completely at Isolo Roundabout, it is best to drop from the bus and take a short walk or enter a commercial motorcycle (Oθ‘/Okada) or Keke if they are operating on the inner streets to get to your final destination faster.
