From Iponri, walk or take a short Keke Napep to Costain Bus Stop.
At Costain Bus Stop, board a Danfo (yellow bus) heading towards Ojuelegba or Fadeyi. Alight at Ojuelegba Bus Stop.
From Ojuelegba, board another Danfo heading towards Ikeja Under Bridge. This bus will pass through Agege Motor Road.
At Ikeja Under Bridge, locate the bus stop for buses going to Ogba/Ifako. Board a Danfo or Keke Napep to Ifako Bus Stop.
To save money, look for 'short-trip' buses that cover only a segment of a longer route, as they can sometimes be cheaper than a direct bus if available.
Always confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid disputes.
During rush hour, consider walking short distances between bus stops to bypass localized traffic if safe and feasible.
While the ideal driving time is 23 minutes, with public transport and typical Lagos traffic, you should budget between 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes, especially during peak hours (6-9 AM and 4-7 PM).
Traveling at night (after 8:00 PM) carries increased risks. It's advisable to use ride-hailing services (e.g., Bolt, Uber) or a trusted private taxi if traveling late, rather than public Danfos, which become fewer and potentially less secure. Always inform someone of your travel plans.
The cheapest way is generally by using multiple Danfo stages. The BRT + Danfo option can also be cost-effective and potentially faster for the main stretch. Always confirm fares before boarding.
Yes, key bus stops include Costain, Ojuelegba, Ikeja Under Bridge, Ikeja Along, Ogba Retail Market, and Ifako Bus Stop. These are major interchange points where you can find connecting buses.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is mid-day, between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, to avoid the heaviest rush hour traffic. Traveling late at night (after 9:00 PM) should be approached with caution due to security concerns and fewer available transport options. Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) can also be relatively clear.
Safety Rating
Medium. While largely safe during the day, evening travel requires extra caution. Pickpocketing can occur in crowded bus stops. 'One-chance' vehicle risks are present, especially in less populated areas or late at night. Always board vehicles at recognized bus stops and be wary of suspicious drivers or passengers.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is partially available for this route. You can use BRT for the segment from Costain to Ikeja Along/Under Bridge. There is no direct rail service connecting Iponri and Ifako.
