Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From any major bus stop in Ikotun (e.g., Ikotun Roundabout, Cele Bus Stop), board a 'Danfo' (the yellow commercial mini-bus) heading towards 'Oshodi' or 'Iyana Ipaja'. Confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding.
If you stopped at Iyana Ipaja, you will need to take another 'Danfo' from Iyana Ipaja directly to 'Oshodi'. If your first bus was direct to Oshodi, alight at the Oshodi Underbridge or the Oshodi Transport Interchange.
From Oshodi Transport Interchange (or nearby designated bus stops), board another 'Danfo' that is going to 'CMS' (Costain/Marina route). Be clear about 'CMS' as the destination.
Alight at the CMS (Marina) bus stop. From CMS, Sura Market is a short distance away. You can opt for a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle), another brief 'Danfo' ride, or walk if you are familiar with the area and your luggage is light.
Direct your 'Keke' or 'Danfo' driver/conductor to the specific street or section within Sura Market Area you wish to reach.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid the worst of Lagos traffic, aim to depart very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or during off-peak hours (between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM). Traveling during evening rush hours (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) will significantly increase your journey time.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos public transport is generally safe for daily travel, but travelers should be vigilant. Be aware of petty crime like pickpocketing in crowded buses and markets. 'One-chance' incidents, where criminals pose as commercial vehicle operators, are a risk, particularly late at night or on less-traveled routes. Stick to busy, well-lit areas for boarding.
BRT / Rail / Water
The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system offers a faster and more structured option for a significant portion of this route (specifically from Oshodi to CMS). There is no direct intracity train service that covers this specific route.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
