Walk to the main bus stop at Iganmu Under-bridge or near National Theatre and look for a Danfo heading towards Costain or Ojuelegba.
Board the bus and drop at Costain bus stop. Ensure you ask the conductor to clarify his final stop before you enter.
From Costain, enter another direct Danfo heading straight to Yaba or Jibowu via Western Avenue.
Stay on the bus as it passes through Fadeyi, then tell the conductor you will 'drop' at Jibowu bus stop near the popular transport parks.
Always enter a Danfo with your exact transport 'change' to avoid fierce arguments with conductors who do not have money to balance you.
Confirm the exact amount from the conductor before putting your leg inside the bus because prices fluctuate rapidly based on traffic density.
Keep your bag zipped and close to your chest when boarding at busy spots like Costain or Ojuelegba to avoid pickpockets.
If the bus takes the Ojuelegba bridge, prepare to alight just after the descent before the vehicle rushes past your destination.

Safety Rating
Medium - Be very alert at Costain Under-bridge and Ojuelegba, especially early in the morning and late at night. Hold your phone and wallet tightly to avoid 'one-chance' buses or 'agbero' pickpockets.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, the Lagos Blue Line Rail handles part of the route from National Theatre station at Iganmu down to Costain/Alaka axis, but a standard Danfo or private ride remains the most direct way to hit Jibowu proper.

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
Funsho Williams Avenue (Western Avenue)
Fares change constantly due to sudden hikes in fuel prices, daily traffic intensity around the Ojuelegba bottleneck, and extra fees that commercial drivers must pay to road unions (agberos) along the route.
The safest time is during broad daylight hours, specifically between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Traveling late at night increases your exposure to opportunistic pickpockets and transport scams.
While there isn't a single direct BRT route dedicated solely from Iganmu to Jibowu, you can use the BRT lanes along the main Ikorodu Road corridor once you successfully connect to the Fadeyi or Ojuelegba axes.
If heavy rain begins, seek shelter immediately in a secure public building or covered shop. Avoid standing directly under the Costain bridge due to fast-rising flash floods and sudden traffic standstills that cause fares to skyrocket instantly.
