Go to the main commercial bus stop or park in Imota (e.g., near Imota Market or Imota Junction).
Look for a yellow commercial bus ('Danfo') heading directly to 'Ikorodu Garage' or 'Ikorodu Roundabout'. Confirm the destination with the driver or conductor.
The bus will take Old Lagos Road, then connect to Sagamu Road, and finally enter Ikorodu town.
Alight at Ikorodu Garage, which is the main bus terminal in Ikorodu.
Buses are readily available from morning till late evening.
Always confirm the fare before boarding to avoid arguments.
During peak hours, buses might be crowded, so prepare for a standing trip if you're not early.
From Imota, you'll pass through areas like Odogunyan, Agric Bus Stop, and Benson Bus Stop before reaching Ikorodu Garage. These are major points where you can alight or board.
Yes, LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and VIO (Vehicle Inspection Office) officials are often present on Sagamu Road, especially around busy junctions and the entry points to Ikorodu. They conduct routine checks, which can sometimes cause minor delays.
While generally safe during the day, traveling late at night carries higher risks. It's advisable to complete your journey before 8 PM. If you must travel at night, use well-lit, busy routes and official transport services from established parks.
Yes, ride-hailing apps like Bolt or Uber operate in Lagos. While not covered in the public transport options above, they are an alternative for private, door-to-door service, but usually at a higher cost than public transport.
While the ground truth states 22 minutes, this is highly optimistic. With typical Lagos traffic, especially during peak hours, the journey can easily take 45 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or even more during severe congestion.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are early mornings (before 6 AM) or late mornings (after 9 AM), and mid-afternoons (between 1 PM and 3 PM). Traveling during these periods helps you avoid the worst of the Lagos traffic. The given 22-minute travel time is highly optimistic and rarely achievable during peak hours.
Safety Rating
Medium. During the day, the route is generally safe. However, travelers should be cautious when traveling late in the evening or at night due to increased risk of petty theft or 'one-chance' incidents (unlicensed vehicles used for robbery). Always use vehicles from official parks or known bus stops.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT service from Imota to Ikorodu. However, once you reach Ikorodu Garage, you can connect to BRT buses that travel to various parts of Lagos Mainland. There is no train service on this specific route.
