Moving from Ilupeju to Epe means traveling from the mainland part of Lagos down to the far eastern side of the island. The journey takes you through major expressways and can be very long, especially when traffic builds up. Because of recent fuel price increases across Nigeria, transport fares have gone up significantly, so you need to plan your budget well before stepping out.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
To avoid the worst traffic, leave Ilupeju very early between 5:30 AM and 6:30 AM, or wait until mid-morning around 10:00 AM when the early rush is over. Avoid moving toward Epe between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM because that is when everyone is heading home on the island.
Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally safe during the day, but you must stay alert at major bus stops like Oshodi and Ajah where pickpockets operate. Avoid traveling late at night because lighting is poor on parts of the Lekki-Epe Expressway, making it easy for one-chance buses or criminals to operate.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT bus or train line that goes all the way from Ilupeju to Epe. However, you can use the standard BRT buses from Fadeyi or Oshodi to move smoothly to Obalende or CMS before connecting to island buses.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
