Moving from Iganmu to Fadeyi takes you from the heart of the industrial zone near Costain up towards the busy Ikorodu Road corridor. While the distance is relatively short, traffic can build up heavily at key bottlenecks like Western Avenue and Ojuelegba. This guide breaks down the easiest, cheapest, and safest ways to make this daily commute using local buses, alternative connections, and ride-hailing options.
Hotspots

To beat the worst gridlock, travel between 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM (off-peak), or leave very early before 6:30 AM. Evening peak rush starts from 4:30 PM to 9:00 PM, where trip times can easily double.

Walk or take a short Keke from your exact location in Iganmu to the main Costain Bus Stop near the National Theatre entrance.
At Costain Bus Stop, stand by the roadside and board a yellow Danfo bus heading towards Ojuelegba.
Drop at Ojuelegba Under-bridge. Cross safely using the pedestrian bridge or walk to the filling station where buses line up for Ikorodu Road.
Board another short-distance Danfo heading towards Fadeyi or Onipanu, and tell the conductor you will drop at Fadeyi Bus Stop.
Always hold your change (change/legal tender) in your hand before boarding to avoid fights with the conductor.
Listen carefully to the conductor when they shout destinations so you do not enter a bus going to Oshodi by mistake.
Keep your eyes on the road and do not sleep, especially during the Ojuelegba transit switch.
If you have a Cowry Card, check for any connecting BRT buses at Costain to save money.

Safety Rating
Medium - Be very alert at night. Pickpockets operate around Costain, Ojuelegba Under-bridge, and Fadeyi bus stop. Keep your phone and wallet inside your bag, hold your bag tightly to your front, and avoid displaying cash or expensive gadgets while waiting for a bus.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, BRT buses run along Ikorodu Road through Fadeyi. You can connect to the Blue Line Rail at the National Theatre Station in Iganmu, but it goes toward Mile 2, not Fadeyi. For this specific route, the standard Danfo or the BRT corridor from nearby Costain/Stadium is your best bet.

Because of current fuel price hikes, if you use standard yellow Danfo buses, expect to spend between ₦1,000 and ₦1,800 in total. If you choose a private ride-hailing car, it will cost between ₦3,500 and ₦6,000 depending on the traffic situation.
No, there is no direct BRT route starting inside Iganmu. However, you can take a short local bus to Costain or Stadium, and from there you can access the BRT lanes that go straight along Ikorodu Road through Fadeyi.
Be very careful around Costain Roundabout early in the morning and Ojuelegba Under-bridge or Fadeyi bus stop in the evening. Pickpockets stand around these crowded places pretending to be passengers while looking for phones and bags to steal.
The road near Costain and parts of Western Avenue flood quickly. This causes massive traffic delays, and Danfo drivers usually raise their fares by 50% or even double them because the journey takes much longer.
