Board a standard yellow commercial bus (Danfo) or a small minibus (Korope) going to Mushin Olosha from your bus stop in Isolo.
Drop at Mushin Olosha and cross over to board another Danfo heading straight towards Yaba.
Get down at Yaba and move toward the Bariga park under the bridge to board a direct bus or Keke Marwa going into Bariga.
Stay on the vehicle until it reaches the final terminal in Bariga.
Always carry smaller currency notes (change) to avoid issues with the conductor.
Hold your bag tightly across your front when transferring at Mushin Olosha.
Confirm the exact bus destination from the conductor before you enter.
Expect fares to jump toward the higher range if it starts raining suddenly.
With current fuel realities, the total cost for a one-way trip ranges between ₦1,300 and ₦1,900 depending on the specific stops you use to connect.
No, you will rarely find a direct commercial Danfo bus going straight from Isolo inside Bariga. You will need to stop and change buses at least once or twice, usually at Mushin, Oshodi, or Yaba.
If there is no major accident or heavy rain, the trip takes about 60 to 90 minutes. However, during heavy evening rush hours, it can stretch past 2 hours.
Be extra careful when changing buses at Mushin Olosha, Isolo Under-bridge, and Yaba Under-bridge once it is dark. Keep your phone inside your bag and avoid counting money in public view.
