Moving from Gbagada to Iyana School takes you from the mainland area towards the Badagry axis. Because the distance is far, you will need to connect through major hubs like Oshodi, Mile 2, or Lagos Island depending on the option you choose. It requires moving from commercial corridors to the busy residential and educational area of Iyana School along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.

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
Gbagada Expressway
Because of recent fuel price increases, if you are using public Danfo buses, you should budget between ₦2,200 and ₦3,500 for a one-way trip. If you choose the train or BRT combinations, it can reach around ₦4,500. For a private ride-hailing car, it will cost between ₦12,000 and ₦18,000.
No, there is no single direct BRT bus that goes all the way from Gbagada to Iyana School. You must first take a local bus to a major hub like Oshodi or Mile 2, and from there you can find BRT buses or other connection options going down the Badagry Expressway.
The safest time is during broad daylight, specifically between 7:30 AM and 4:00 PM. Avoid traveling very late at night because spots like Mile 2 under-bridge and Oshodi can become dangerous with hoodlums and pickpockets once it is dark.
If the traffic at Mile 2 is completely locked and buses are not moving, you can drop from the bus and walk carefully to the Okada or Keke parks to find alternative inner routes, or use the Blue Line rail station if you are close to it to bypass the traffic jam.
