Moving from Ijegun to Ojodu Berger takes you across the heart of Lagos, from the Alimosho local government area down to the main gateway connecting Lagos to Ogun State. Because of heavy traffic, this long journey requires entering multiple commercial vehicles or booking a ride-hailing app, passing through major transport hubs like Ikotun and Oshodi.

Board a tricycle (Keke) or a small commercial bus from your location inside Ijegun straight to Ikotun Roundabout.
Walk into the main garage at Ikotun or wait by the roadside to board a yellow commercial bus (Danfo) heading to Oshodi.
From Oshodi, look for the designated park or roadside buses loading passengers straight to Berger.
Alight safely at the Berger final stop, either at the top of the bridge or just under the bridge depending on where the driver drops passengers.
Always enter a bus with 'change' (small naira notes) to avoid arguments with conductors over balance.
Hold your phone and wallet tightly inside your bag when walking through the crowded Oshodi and Ikotun market areas.
Listen to the driver and conductor carefully so you do not miss your drop-off bus stop.
If you are confused about where to go at Oshodi, look for uniform traffic officials or park attendants instead of asking random strangers.

Safety Rating
Medium - Commuters must stay alert at major junctions, especially during early morning and late night travel. Watch your pockets and bags at Ikotun market, Oshodi under-bridge, and Berger under-bridge to avoid pickpockets. Avoid flashing your mobile phone or carrying large amounts of cash inside commercial buses.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or rail line that links Ijegun to Berger. However, once you use local transport to reach Oshodi or Ojota, you can easily board a regulated standard Lagos state bus (LAMATA/BRT) straight to Berger bus stop.

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
Ijegun-Ikotun Road
Due to recent fuel price increases, if you are using public commercial buses (Danfo), you should plan to spend between ₦2,300 and ₦3,800 for a one-way trip. If you choose a private ride-hailing car, it will cost you anywhere from ₦12,000 to ₦18,000 depending on the current traffic situation.
No, you cannot find a single direct commercial Danfo bus going from Ijegun straight to Berger. You must do a broken journey by stopping at middle connection points like Ikotun, Cele, Oshodi, or Ojota before getting a final bus to Berger.
The ultimate secret to avoiding traffic is your departure timing. Leaving your house in Ijegun very early between 5:00 AM and 5:30 AM helps you clear major traffic bottlenecks before they form. Going through Cele and Ojota can also sometimes be faster than passing through the highly congested Ikotun-Oshodi inner roads.
To prevent this common issue, always ask the conductor if he has change before you step into the bus. If you only have large denominations like ₦1,000 or ₦5,000 notes, let the conductor know immediately so he can pair you with another passenger or change it early in the journey.
