From your location in Ikoyi, take a Danfo bus heading to Obalende or CMS.
At CMS, find a Danfo bus going to Mile 2. This is a major interchange.
From Mile 2, board a Danfo bus specifically heading to Abule Ado.
Always confirm the destination with the conductor ('Abule Ado straight?') before boarding.
Be aware of your belongings, especially at crowded bus stops like CMS and Mile 2.
Try to sit near the driver or other passengers you feel comfortable with.
It's advisable to carry at least ₦2,000 - ₦3,000 in smaller denominations (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares and unforeseen expenses. Most public transport does not accept digital payments.
Traveling at night on public transport, especially along the Badagry Expressway, carries higher risks. If possible, complete your journey before 8:00 PM. If you must travel at night, use well-lit bus stops and busy routes, and avoid empty buses.
'Agberos' are touts or union workers who collect fees from commercial drivers at bus stops. While they generally don't bother passengers directly, they can contribute to delays or chaotic scenes at major bus parks. Avoid engaging with them.
Patience is key. Lagos traffic can be unpredictable. Have a power bank for your phone, some water, and snacks. If you're on a tight schedule, consider leaving much earlier.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid peak traffic. Evenings (after 7:00 PM) can also be less congested but come with increased safety risks.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' vehicles (buses/taxis with criminal intent) are a risk, especially at night or on less crowded routes. Always choose buses from designated bus stops with other passengers.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is not available for the entire direct route from Ikoyi to Abule Ado. However, the Badagry Expressway stretch (from Mile 2 towards Abule Ado) has dedicated BRT lanes which some public buses (like LAGBUS or high-capacity Danfos) utilize for faster movement. There is no train option for this intrastate route.
