At Obalende, look for 'Danfo' buses going to Ojota. These buses will cross the Third Mainland Bridge and use the Oworonsoki Expressway.
From Ojota, take another 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' heading towards Magodo/Shangisha. Tell the driver you are going to 'CMD Junction'. It's a popular stop along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, just after the Ojota interchange.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 9:30 AM) to avoid peak traffic. Mid-day (11:00 AM - 3:00 PM) is usually the best for smoother movement. Avoid evening rush hours (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos roads can be safe, but travelers should be aware of 'one-chance' syndicates, especially when traveling alone or late at night. Pickpocketing can occur in crowded bus stops like Ojota and Ketu. Stick to busy, well-lit areas and established public transport parks.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT is available for parts of the journey (e.g., from CMS/Obalende to Ketu/Ojota), but not directly to CMD Junction. There is no train service for this specific intrastate route.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
