At Oshodi, look for a 'Danfo' or BRT bus heading to 'CMS' or 'TBS' (Tafawa Balewa Square). BRT is often faster.
From CMS or TBS, board a 'Danfo' bus going towards 'Ajah'. Make sure the bus is going 'Along' (a direct route) to Ajah or Abraham Adesanya.
At Ajah Market, you will find smaller 'Danfo' buses or 'Keke Napep' (tricycles) going into VGC. Tell them 'VGC Gate'.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid the heaviest traffic, try to travel very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or late in the evening (after 8:00 PM). Mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) can also be less congested than peak hours.
Safety Rating
Medium. Daytime travel is generally safe. However, evening travel, especially on public transport, requires vigilance. Be aware of 'one-chance' syndicates; avoid empty vehicles or those with suspicious passengers. Always keep your valuables out of sight and secure. Be cautious at busy bus stops.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT buses are available for specific segments of this route (e.g., Mile 2 to CMS/TBS, and from Ajah towards Lekki-Epe Expressway). There is no single direct BRT service for the entire journey. There is no direct train option connecting Ikotun to VGC.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
