Go to Ikorodu Garage or Ogolonto Bus Stop and board a direct Danfo heading to Oshodi or Mile 12.
Drop at Mile 12 or Oshodi, then quickly locate the park for buses going down to Mile 2 via the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.
From Mile 2 Under-bridge, enter a short-trip Danfo or a shared Keke heading straight into Ajegunle via Wilmer and drop at Boundary.
Arrive at Boundary Bus Stop, safely alight from the vehicle and move clear of the busy roadside traffic.
Always enter the bus with smaller currency notes (change) to avoid messy arguments with conductors.
Keep your luggage small and secure so you can move quickly during transitions at Oshodi or Mile 2.
Do not display your smartphone openly at the bus stops while waiting for the next ride.
Ask the conductor clearly if the bus is passing through your specific route before you jump in.

Safety Rating
Medium - You must stay very sharp, especially at major exchange points. Hold your phone and wallet tightly when passing through Mile 2 Under-bridge and Oshodi. Avoid moving through Boundary late at night because of local boys and pickpockets.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, the BRT bus is fully available from Ikorodu Garage down to major hubs like Oshodi or Mile 12. From Mile 2, you can also access the Lagos Blue Line Rail if you divert towards Marina, but for a direct link to Boundary, standard Danfo buses or Keke are used from the Mile 2 axis.

With the current fuel price situation, it is best to have at least ₦4,000 in your pocket for a one-way trip using public transport to cover unexpected emergency price hikes by conductors.
No, there is no direct BRT bus to Boundary. You have to take the BRT from Ikorodu to a major hub like Oshodi or Mile 12, then finish the rest of the trip with local Danfo buses or Keke.
The safest period to arrive is during daylight hours, specifically between 7:00 AM and 6:30 PM. Arriving very late at night exposes you to street boys and pickpockets.
If heavy rain falls, expect traffic to stop completely around Mile 2 and Ketu. It is smarter to park at a safe public filling station or terminal building and wait for the flash floods on the road to recede.
