Moving from Ijora to Fadeyi is a journey from the industrial heart of Lagos mainland towards the busy Ikorodu Road transport corridor. The journey is short in distance but can take time due to heavy commercial traffic, trailers from the ports, and general Lagos traffic jams. Commuters can choose between direct commercial yellow buses (Danfos), connecting through nearby hubs like Costain or Ojuelegba, or using ride-hailing services. This guide gives you the exact routes, current inflation-adjusted prices, and smart secrets to beat the daily traffic.

Walk or take a short Keke from your location in Ijora to the main Ijora Under-Bridge or Ijora Olopa Bus Stop.
Board a commercial yellow bus (Danfo) going towards Costain or Ojuelegba and drop at Costain Roundabout.
From Costain, board another Danfo heading towards Ojuelegba or directly to Fadeyi / Ikorodu Road.
Always enter the bus with smaller money notes (change) to avoid serious arguments with the conductor.
Keep your phones and wallets inside your deep pockets or bags before you board the bus at Costain.
Listen to the conductor carefully so you do not jump into a bus going to a different route like Mile 2.

Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally safe during the day, but you must be very careful at night. Watch out for pickpockets at Ijora under the bridge, Costain, and Fadeyi bus stop. Avoid showing your phone or carrying expensive bags openly in these crowded areas, especially when the traffic slows down or during late hours.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or train station inside Ijora itself. However, once you cross over to Costain or Ojuelegba, you can access the standard Ikorodu Road BRT lane system. Fadeyi has a dedicated BRT bus stop that allows you to drop off easily if you take a regulated BRT bus from a major terminal.

Because of current fuel price hikes, the total cost for a public bus trip is between ₦900 and ₦1,600 depending on the exact route you choose and how many connections you make. If you use a private ride-hailing car, it will cost between ₦3,500 and ₦5,500.
No, there is no direct BRT bus from inside Ijora to Fadeyi. You will need to take a local Danfo bus or Keke to Costain or Ojuelegba first, where you can then easily find buses or transport options using the main Ikorodu Road corridor.
The worst times to travel are the morning rush hours between 7:00 AM and 9:30 AM when people are going to work, and evening rush hours between 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM when workers are returning from Lagos Island and Mainland hubs.
Keep all your windows rolled up if you are in a private car. If you are in a Danfo bus, hold your phone tightly, keep it inside your bag, and do not use it openly. Area boys and pickpockets love to snatch items from unsuspecting commuters during nighttime traffic jams.
