Stand at Ilupeju Bypass or Palmgrove and board a short Danfo heading to Oshodi Interchange.
Walk into the Oshodi terminal and board a large bus or Danfo going down to Cele Bus Stop along the expressway.
From Cele Bus Stop, cross over and enter another Danfo that is going directly to Ikotun.
Drop at Ikotun and take a final short Danfo or Keke Marwa that goes straight into Ijegun.
Always hold small change (change money) to avoid rough arguments with Danfo conductors.
Keep your eyes open at Cele Bus Stop under-bridge because pickpockets operate there frequently.
Ask the conductor clearly if the bus is passing your exact stop before you jump inside.
Expect fares to go up slightly if it starts to rain while you are on the way.

Because of recent fuel price increases and high inflation, you should budget between ₦2,500 and ₦4,000 for a one-way trip by public bus. It is always smart to carry extra cash in case fares suddenly spike due to traffic or bad weather.
The best time to leave is during the mid-day off-peak window, between 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM. If you leave during these hours, the roads are much clearer and your travel time will drop significantly.
It is not very safe to travel this route late at night. Major connection points like Cele Under-bridge and Oshodi can become dangerous after 9:00 PM due to street boys and pickpockets. Try your best to complete your journey before darkness falls.
Yes, there is no single direct commercial Danfo bus from Ilupeju to Ijegun. You will need to drop and change buses at least two or three times at key hubs like Oshodi, Cele, or Ikotun.
