This guide covers the journey from the busy terminal of Iyana Ipaja to the major mainland hub of Iyana Oworo. Moving between these two points takes you across the heart of Lagos mainland. Because of recent fuel price increases, transport fares change quickly, so this guide provides current price ranges. By following these steps, you can safely navigate the commercial commercial buses (Danfos), avoid heavy traffic gridlocks, and choose the best routes depending on the time of day.

Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Walk down to the main Iyana Ipaja garage under the bridge or stand by the roadside facing towards the Ikeja/Oshodi direction.
Look out for conductors shouting 'Oworo / Berger' or 'Oshodi direct'. Board a yellow commercial bus (Danfo) going directly to Iyana Oworo. Ensure you carry 'change' (smaller denominations) to avoid arguments with the conductor.
The bus will pass through Dopemu, Ikeja Along, and connect through the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway via 7Up/Secretariat before turning towards Oworonshoki Expressway.
Alert the conductor well in advance by shouting 'Owa' or 'Drop at Oworo' as you approach the pedestrian bridge so the driver can pull into the service lane.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the heavy morning rush, depart Iyana Ipaja before 6:00 AM. If you miss this early window, it is best to wait until the off-peak period between 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM when the expressway is relatively clear. For evening travel, try to complete your journey before 4:30 PM, or be prepared to sit in slow-moving traffic until after 8:30 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium - You must remain highly alert at all times. Pickpocketing is very common at Iyana Ipaja Under-bridge and Iyana Oworo park, especially during the early morning rush (5:00 AM - 7:00 AM) and late night hours (7:30 PM - 10:00 PM). Do not count money in public, avoid using your phone while waiting for a bus, and watch out for 'one-chance' criminals who use unmarked vehicles to rob passengers.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT bus route or commercial train line that runs directly from Iyana Ipaja to Iyana Oworo. However, you can use the standard BRT buses from Iyana Ipaja terminal to move along the Abeokuta Expressway corridor down to Oshodi, where you can then connect to standard commercial buses heading to Iyana Oworo.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
