From your location in Ikoyi (e.g., Keffi Bus Stop, Awolowo Road), take a 'Danfo' bus going to Obalende.
At Obalende, find the 'Danfo' park for buses heading towards Oshodi. Board a bus going to Oshodi, typically via the Third Mainland Bridge.
From Oshodi, look for 'Danfo' buses or 'Keke Napep' (tricycles) heading to Ilupeju. Tell the conductor or driver you are going to 'Town Planning Way'.
This is often the fastest 'Danfo' route as it utilizes the Third Mainland Bridge, which helps avoid some inner-city traffic around Yaba/Fadeyi.
Oshodi is a very busy interchange; keep your belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings.
Always confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding, especially at major bus stops like Oshodi.
Yes, but exercise caution. Stick to well-lit areas and busy bus stops. Avoid boarding 'Danfo' buses that are almost empty or waiting in isolated spots. Always try to sit near the driver or other passengers. Keep your phone charged and avoid displaying valuables openly.
Most 'Danfo' buses in Lagos are yellow with black stripes. This color signifies they are licensed public transport. Just ensure they have a conductor and are operating from a recognized bus stop or park.
It is common to take multiple stages when traveling in Lagos. Look for buses going to 'Ilupeju' or 'Anthony' from your last major bus stop (Oshodi, Fadeyi, Onipanu). From Ilupeju or Anthony, Town Planning Way is usually a short 'Keke Napep' ride away.
No, for 'Danfo' and 'Keke Napep', you will need cash (Nigerian Naira). For BRT, you need a BRT card or cash to buy a ticket at the terminal. Always carry small denominations for convenience.
