The fastest way is to take a Keke to Mile 2 and use the Blue Line Train to National Theatre Station, then take a short connection to Oyingbo. This allows you to skip all the morning road traffic.
Due to current fuel prices and fare inflation, it is safe to hold between ₦4,000 and ₦5,000 for a standard round trip using public buses to cover any sudden price hikes by conductors.
It is not highly recommended to travel after 9:00 PM. If you must travel late, avoid standard Danfos with very few passengers, do not stand alone at Mile 2 bus stop, and consider using a verified ride-hailing app for better safety.
No, there is no direct BRT bus from inside Festac Town to Oyingbo. You must first get out to the main Badagry Expressway or Mile 2 terminal to access standard BRT or large capacity buses heading towards Mainland Lagos.
