Moving from Ijegun (around Ikotun axis) to Boundary (Ajegunle/Apapa axis) is a major cross-town trip in Lagos. Because there is no straight bus, you must change buses at key connection points like Ikotun, Cele Bus Stop, or Mile 2. This guide provides the most practical routes, current high-inflation fares, and smart safety tips to help you navigate the trip smoothly.
Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
To beat the heaviest traffic, leave Ijegun very early between 5:30 AM and 6:30 AM for morning trips. For afternoon travel, 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM is usually free. Avoid moving towards Boundary between 4:30 PM and 8:00 PM because of heavy gridlock and port trucks.

Board a local tricycle (Keke) or a small bus from your location inside Ijegun to Ikotun Roundabout.
At Ikotun, walk over to the garage and board a direct Danfo bus heading to Cele Bus Stop on the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.
Cross the expressway using the pedestrian bridge at Cele, then enter a big Danfo bus going straight to Mile 2.
From Mile 2 Under-bridge, locate the short-distance Danfo buses or tricycles going directly into Ajegunle and drop at Boundary Bus Stop.
Always carry change (smaller naira notes) to avoid shouting matches with Danfo conductors.
Hold your phone tightly in your hand or hide it deep inside your bag when changing buses at Mile 2.
If you hear conductors shouting 'Boundary-Ajegunle', confirm if they are passing through the direct route or taking a longer diversion.
Keep an eye on the sky; if it looks like rain, start making your connection fast before transport prices double.

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 Road
Because of recent fuel price increases, the total cost by public bus (Danfo) ranges between ₦1,900 and ₦3,200 depending on the exact route you choose and the time of day. Ride-hailing cars cost between ₦8,500 and ₦13,000.
No, there is no single direct commercial bus that moves from Ijegun straight to Boundary. You must change buses at least two or three times at major junctions like Ikotun, Cele, or Mile 2.
Mile 2 is safe during active daytime hours because of the high number of people, but you must be careful. Pickpockets operate there. Avoid hanging around lonely spaces under the bridge when it gets dark, and always secure your phone and wallet.
If Ikotun is heavily blocked, use alternative inner-street routes via Keke or bikes to link Jakande Gate or Ejigbo, where you can easily find alternative buses heading towards the expressway.
