This guide helps you move smoothly from Ikeja to the Ijegun area of Lagos. Because of high fuel prices and inflation, transport prices change quickly. This breakdown shows you exactly where to enter commercial buses (Danfos), alternative fast connections, or ride-hailing cars. It also gives realistic price ranges and warns you about heavy traffic spots so you can plan your daily travel without stress.
Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
To beat the worst gridlock, leave Ikeja before 6:30 AM for morning trips, or look for off-peak hours between 11:00 AM and 2:30 PM. Evening peak congestion begins by 4:00 PM and locks down major connecting roads until 9:30 PM.

Walk to Ikeja Under-Bridge or the main garage and board a straight commercial bus (Danfo) heading to Iyana Ipaja.
Drop at Iyana Ipaja bus stop, walk across the pedestrian bridge to the garage area, and look for buses going to Ikotun.
From Ikotun Bus Stop, walk over to the Ijegun loading park and enter a direct Danfo or a tricycle (Keke Marwa) heading to Ijegun market.
Take a final short bike ride or walk from the main Ijegun stop to your exact destination.
Always carry smaller Naira notes (change) to avoid fierce arguments with conductors.
Hold your phone tightly and keep your bag zipped up at Iyana Ipaja bus stop.
Ask the conductor if the bus is going to 'Ijegun straight' before you step inside.

The fastest way is to leave very early (by 5:30 AM) using the Iyana Ipaja route. If you leave later, taking a commercial motorcycle for the inner connecting points like Ikotun to Ijegun can save you time, but it costs extra.
Because transport fares inflate rapidly when it rains or during heavy traffic updates, it is safest to hold at least ₦5,000 to cover your going and coming by public bus.
Yes. Pickpockets are common at Ikeja Along, Iyana Ipaja, and Ikotun market square. Keep your bag in front of you, don't display your smartphone openly, and try not to enter completely empty buses that gather passengers away from the official park.
No, Kekes do not run the full distance. They only serve short inner links. You can only use a Keke for the final part of your journey, such as moving from Ikotun Bus Stop down into the streets of Ijegun.
