From Ikotun Bus Stop, find a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading towards Oshodi. These buses are usually available at the main bus park.
Alight at Oshodi Under Bridge or Oshodi Bus Stop. From there, locate 'Danfos' going to Ojota. You'll find many buses at the Oshodi Transport Interchange.
Alight at Ojota Bus Stop, which is your final destination. You can easily spot the overhead pedestrian bridge.
Always confirm the destination with the bus conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops like Oshodi, where pickpocketing can occur.
If direct buses from Oshodi to Ojota are scarce, you might need to take a 'short-trip' bus from Oshodi to Maryland, then another to Ojota, though this might slightly increase cost or time.
To avoid heavy traffic, it's best to leave very early in the morning (before 6 AM) or after the morning rush (after 10 AM). Similarly, avoid the evening rush hour from 4 PM to 7 PM.
Direct buses from Ikotun to Ojota are rare. Most travelers will need to make at least one stop, usually at Oshodi, to connect to Ojota. This is the most common and efficient way using public transport.
The total cost typically ranges from ₦750 to ₦1400, depending on your chosen route, number of transfers, time of day, and traffic conditions. BRT options are generally more stable in pricing.
While generally safe during the day, night travel carries higher risks. It's advisable to complete your journey before 7 PM. If unavoidable, use well-lit bus stops, be extra vigilant about your surroundings and belongings, and consider using reputable public transport options.
