Walk or enter a short Keke from your house to Isolo Main Bus Stop.
Board a yellow Danfo bus going to Mushin Olosha. Tell the conductor you will drop at the last stop.
Cross the road carefully and board another Danfo directly going to Ojota.
From Ojota, enter a final short bus or walk to the BRT lane to take a bus straight to Ketu Mile 12.
Always hold small change (change of ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) to avoid fights with the conductor.
Listen to the conductor carefully so you do not miss your bus stop when they call it out.
Ensure your bag is zipped and hold it tightly to your front when entering the bus at Mushin.
Check the body of the bus to make sure it has the correct Lagos yellow paint with black stripes for safety.

Safety Rating

Because of high fuel prices, you should hold at least ₦2,500 to ₦3,000 for public transport to cover unexpected price increments or short Keke connections.

Do not argue or drag things with them in dark or lonely areas. Walk quickly into crowded spaces, identify security personnel like LASTMA or police, and keep your phone inside your inner pocket.
Leaving by 7:30 AM means you will meet the worst morning rush traffic. The journey can easily take between 2 to 2.5 hours. If you leave earlier at 6:00 AM, you can finish the trip in about 50 to 60 minutes.
