Traveling from the upscale Ikoyi area to Coconut Bus Stop, located near Mile 2 on the Badagry Expressway axis, involves navigating through some of Lagos' busiest routes. This guide provides practical public transport options, costs, and essential safety tips for a smooth journey.
Distance
28.0 km
Duration
2h 30m
Total Cost
₦700 - ₦1,300
Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From your exact location in Ikoyi (e.g., Awolowo Road, Falomo), take a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) heading towards Obalende or CMS.
At Obalende or CMS, locate buses going to Mile 2. These are usually larger 'Danfo' buses or 'Molue' (though less common now). Confirm the destination before boarding. This is a long stretch, so be aware of potential traffic.
From Mile 2, you'll easily find smaller 'Danfo' buses or 'Keke Napep' heading towards Coconut Bus Stop. Coconut is a short distance from Mile 2 along the Badagry Expressway.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid peak hour congestion. Afternoons (between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM) can also be less busy. Avoid travel between 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents can occur on long bus routes, particularly around Mile 2. Pickpocketing is common in crowded bus stops. Exercise caution, especially when traveling alone or at night. LASTMA and VIO officials are frequently seen around major junctions and bridges (like Falomo, Obalende, CMS, Mile 2) enforcing traffic rules.
BRT / Rail / Water
No direct BRT or rail service covers the entire route. While BRT lines exist from CMS/TBS to other parts of Lagos (like Ikorodu or Oshodi), they do not offer an efficient direct connection to Mile 2 or Coconut Bus Stop for this specific journey. You would still need multiple bus changes, making it less practical than the multi-leg 'Danfo' options.
Private and public transit vehicles entering Abuja city center via the City Gate must maintain the 50km/h speed limit to avoid FRSC safety penalties.
