At Obalende, alight and look for another 'danfo' that is going towards 'Ijora Olopa' or 'Ijora 7-Up'. This bus will typically cross the Carter Bridge or Eko Bridge.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are mid-mornings (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) and mid-afternoons (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) to avoid Lagos' notorious peak hour traffic. Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) can also be fast, but public transport might be less frequent.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, evening travel to Apapa requires caution due to heavy truck traffic, limited street lighting in some areas, and the potential for 'one-chance' incidents if boarding empty or nearly empty 'danfos'. Always be aware of your surroundings.
