From Is Aboru Close, take a Keke Napep or a 'short-trip' Danfo bus to Aboru Junction or Iyana Ipaja Underbridge.
From Iyana Ipaja Underbridge, you have a few options to Ikeja:
Option A (Direct Danfo): Look for a Danfo heading directly to 'Ikeja Underbridge' or 'Computer Village'. These are common.
Option B (BRT): Take a BRT bus from Iyana Ipaja to Oshodi, then from Oshodi, take another bus or Keke to Ikeja. This might be longer but can be more structured.
Option C (Agege Route): Take a Danfo to 'Agege Pen Cinema', then from Agege Pen Cinema, take another Danfo or Keke to Ikeja (e.g., 'Ikeja Along', 'Computer Village').
To save money, try to enter 'short-trip' buses that go only a part of the way, then change. This can sometimes be cheaper than a direct bus if available.
Always have small denominations of cash ready for bus fares.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded buses and bus stops like Iyana Ipaja.
If you're unsure, ask fellow passengers for directions; most are helpful.
The fastest way is usually by a ride-hailing service (Uber/Bolt) or a private car, as they offer direct routes. However, during peak traffic, even these can be slow. Public transport can be surprisingly fast if you hit the right connections and avoid major traffic bottlenecks.
While generally safe, it's advisable to use ride-hailing services or trusted private transport at night. If using public transport, stick to major bus stops and well-lit areas. Avoid isolated routes or less crowded buses after 8 PM.
No, you cannot use BRT for the entire journey from Is Aboru Close. You would first need to get to a BRT terminal, like Iyana Ipaja, and then take a BRT towards Oshodi, from where you'd connect to Ikeja. It's not a direct BRT route.
It's good to carry small denominations (₦100, ₦200, ₦500 notes) for bus fares. For a journey like this, having between ₦1,000 and ₦2,000 in small notes should be sufficient for public transport and a little extra for emergencies.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are generally between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, and after 8:00 PM on weekdays. Avoid peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM) when traffic is at its worst.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, commuters should be vigilant, especially during early mornings or late evenings. Pickpocketing can occur in crowded buses and bus stops. 'One-chance' incidents, though rare, can happen with unverified private vehicles or less reputable commercial taxis, so always use registered ride-hailing services or known commercial buses.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available from Iyana Ipaja to Oshodi, and then you can connect to Ikeja. The Lagos Red Line Rail Project is under construction and will eventually offer a rail alternative from Agege/Ikeja to other parts of Lagos, but it is not yet fully operational for this specific route as a complete end-to-end option.
