Moving from Gbagada to Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) takes you from the Lagos Mainland straight into the heart of Lagos Island. Because of high fuel prices, fares change quickly, and traffic on the Third Mainland Bridge can either make your trip very fast or very slow. This guide shows you the best ways to complete this journey without stress.
Distance
16.0 km
Duration
1h 15m
Total Cost
β¦1,200 - β¦1,800
Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Go to Gbagada Under-Bridge bus stop or Charly Boy bus stop and stand by the roadside.
Look out for conductors shouting 'Obalende' or 'CMS' and board the Danfo bus. Ensure you ask the conductor if the bus stops at TBS directly.
If the bus stops at Obalende, drop at the final stop under the bridge and take a short walk or enter a connecting shuttle heading to TBS.
Alight at the main TBS bus stop right in front of the old parliament building.

Best Time to Travel
Leave between 6:00 AM and 6:30 AM for the morning rush to beat the heavy gridlock on Third Mainland Bridge, or wait until 10:00 AM for an easier off-peak ride.
Safety Rating
Medium - Gbagada is mostly safe, but you must look sharp at Adeniji Adele and Obalende bus stops. Hold your phone and bag tightly. Avoid late-night movements on the bridges or dark corners under the flyovers.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT lane or train from Gbagada to TBS, but you can find standard BRT buses running from nearby Oshodi or Fadeyi to the Island. Standard commercial Danfos dominate the Gbagada route.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
