Lagos-Ibadan Expressway (E1)
The train is widely considered the safest and most comfortable option, as it completely avoids the unpredictable traffic and road conditions of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
By road, the trip typically takes 2 to 3 hours depending on traffic, especially around the Berger/Mowe axis. The train journey takes exactly 2 hours and 40 minutes.
The most popular and reliable motor parks for Lagos-bound vehicles are located at Iwo Road, Challenge, and Ojoo.
