Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From your location in Ikoyi, take a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading to Obalende.
At Obalende, look for a 'Danfo' going to Oshodi. Confirm with the conductor that it's heading towards 'Oshodi Under Bridge' or 'Oshodi Terminal'.
From Oshodi, find a 'Danfo' going to Agege Pen Cinema. This bus will typically pass through Bolade, Dopemu, and then Pen Cinema.
At Agege Pen Cinema, take a 'Danfo' or a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) directly to Fagba. Confirm the specific part of Fagba if it's a long street.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are mid-morning (around 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM) or late evening (after 8:00 PM) to avoid severe peak hour traffic. Traveling during peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) can easily double or triple your travel time.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos public transport can pose 'one-chance' risks, especially in less crowded areas or late at night. Always be alert, avoid using your phone conspicuously, and avoid isolated bus stops after dark.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT buses are available for parts of the journey, particularly on the Ikorodu Road and Oshodi corridors. The Lagos Red Line rail project, once fully operational, will offer a rail option from Oyingbo/Yaba towards Agege/Agbado, which could be integrated with 'Danfo'/'Keke' from Fagba. Currently, it's not a direct, seamless option for the full Ikoyi-Fagba route.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
