Board a 'Danfo' (yellow mini-bus) heading to Iyana-Ipaja. Confirm the destination with the conductor.
At Iyana-Ipaja, alight and look for another Danfo going to Oshodi. This is a major interchange, so buses are frequent.

Once in Ikeja, you can use 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or local shared taxis for short distances to your final destination.

Best Time to Travel
Mid-morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or late afternoon (3:00 PM - 5:00 PM) to avoid the heaviest peak hour traffic. Avoid early mornings (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM) and evenings (5:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, exercise caution in crowded bus stops and markets. 'One-chance' vehicles (unmarked vehicles posing as public transport) are a risk, especially at night. Always board from designated bus stops and avoid isolated areas after dark.
