Moving from Ijegun to Ketu takes you from the Alimosho area straight to a major transport hub on the mainland. Because of heavy traffic on the main corridors, this journey requires patience and strategic planning, especially during rush hours when workers are heading out or returning home.
Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
To beat the worst gridlock, leave Ijegun before 6:00 AM for the morning rush. For afternoon or off-peak travel, mid-day between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM is usually much smoother.

Take a Keke or a small Danfo bus from your location inside Ijegun to Ikotun Roundabout.
From Ikotun garage, board a big Danfo bus heading straight to Oshodi. Ensure you enter a direct bus to save time.
Walk over to the Oshodi terminal or loading park and enter another Danfo bus going to Ketu or Mile 12.
Drop at Ketu Bus Stop and use the pedestrian bridge to safely cross over to your final destination.
Always hold your change ('change' or smaller naira notes) before boarding the Danfo to avoid nasty arguments with conductors.
Keep your luggage light because transit buses at Oshodi charge extra money for big bags.
Listen carefully to the conductor when they call out destinations so you do not enter a bus going to Mile 12 express by mistake.
Keep your windows partially rolled up in slow-moving traffic to prevent street hawkers or hoodlums from snatching your phone.

Safety Rating
Medium - Keep your phones and wallets securely inside your bags at major crowded garages like Ikotun, Oshodi, and Ketu Under-bridge. Watch out for pickpockets and do not board any unmarked vehicle ('one-chance') especially early in the morning or late at night.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct train connection linking these two specific points. However, once you make your way out to Oshodi or Fadeyi, you can easily access the standard Lagos BRT buses that use the dedicated lanes directly to Ketu.

Ijegun Road
Due to current fuel price updates, a one-way trip by public Danfo bus will cost you anywhere between ₦2,200 and ₦4,000 depending on the exact route you take, the time of day, and if it is raining.
No, you cannot get a single direct Danfo bus from Ijegun straight to Ketu. You must stop over and change buses, usually making your main transit switch at Ikotun, Cele, or Oshodi.
If you are traveling past 8:00 PM, it is highly recommended to use ride-hailing services like Bolt or Uber, or travel inside well-crowded, bright commercial buses. Avoid standing alone at dark sections of Ketu Under-bridge or Oshodi.
On a heavy Monday morning, the trip can easily take between 2 to 3 hours because of serious traffic congestion at Ikotun Roundabout and the approach into Oshodi and Ketu. Leaving before 6:00 AM cuts this time nearly in half.
