Board a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading towards Oshodi. Confirm the destination with the conductor ('Oshodi!').
Alight at Oshodi Underbridge (Charley Boy Bus Stop). This is a major interchange. From there, locate the buses going to Yaba/Sabo.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is mid-morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or early afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) to avoid peak hour traffic. Peak hours are typically 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM on weekdays.
Safety Rating
Medium. While daytime travel is generally safe, always be aware of your surroundings. Pickpocketing can occur in crowded buses and bus stops. 'One-chance' incidents (where criminals pose as public transport operators) are rare but possible; use designated bus stops and established transport routes. Avoid late-night travel if possible.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT is available for significant parts of this journey, particularly from Oshodi to Yaba and Ikeja to Oshodi, offering a more structured and sometimes faster option due to dedicated lanes. The Lagos Rail Mass Transit (Blue Line and Red Line) currently does not offer direct, convenient connections for this specific route from Ipaja to Yaba.
The Oshodi multi-terminal is highly secure, but pickpockets operate on the outer pedestrian bridges. Keep phones and wallets zipped in inner pockets.
