Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Herbert Macaulay Way (Yaba), take a local taxi or 'Keke Napep' to a major interstate park like Jibowu or Iyana-Ipaja. Jibowu is a well-known hub for Abuja-bound routes.
Arrive at the bus terminal at least 30 minutes before departure. Book your ticket at the counter or via the transport company's mobile app (e.g., GIGM, GUO Transport, ABC Transport). Confirm your luggage details. Board an air-conditioned luxury bus or a comfortable Sprinter/Hiace bus.
The bus will depart, navigating through Lagos traffic. It will likely take Murtula Muhammed Way to Ikorodu Road, then merge onto the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. This section can be slow due to traffic.
After passing Ibadan, the journey continues on the Ibadan-Ilorin Expressway. The route then uses Oyo Road, Oyo-Ogbomoso Road, Ogbomoso Oyo Road, and Ogbomoso Ilorin Road. Expect security checkpoints along this corridor. A rest stop may occur here.
The bus proceeds on Ogbomoso Ilorin Road and then connects to the A1 highway, passing through the Jebba area. There might be another short rest stop for refreshments and stretching.
From Jebba, the route continues on A124, then merges onto the Abuja-Kaduna Highway. This section is generally a good dual carriageway. Expect more security checkpoints.
The bus will eventually take an off-ramp onto Murtala Mohammed Expressway, leading into the city. The final approach will involve Zuba Garki Road, Obafemi Awolowo Way, Mike Akhigbe Way, and Emmanuel Adiele Street to reach the main Jabi motor park.
Disembark at Jabi Motor Park. Collect your luggage from the bus.
From Jabi Park, you can easily find 'Keke Napep', local taxis, or 'Danfo' buses to your specific destination within Jabi or other parts of Abuja.
