Walk to the main Iyana Oworo bus stop under the bridge and look for conductors shouting 'Oshodi'. Board a yellow Danfo bus.
Stay on the bus through Gbagada and Anthony, then drop at the final stop which is the Oshodi Interchange.
Walk towards the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway section of the park and board another Danfo going towards 'Mile 2' or 'Cele'.
Tell the conductor you will drop at Cele Bus Stop. Ensure you carry smaller cash notes (change) to avoid issues with the conductor.
Always ask the conductor if the bus is going 'Express' or 'Marwa' (local stops) so you know how fast the journey will be.
Hold your exact change (money) in your hand before boarding to avoid arguments that can delay you at your drop-off spot.
Keep your bag zipped and hold it across your chest while walking through the busy Oshodi motor parks.
If you travel late at night, stay in well-lit areas of the bus stop while waiting for a connecting vehicle.
Due to fuel price updates and inflation, a standard public trip using Danfo buses will cost between ₦1,500 and ₦2,200. Private ride-hailing services will cost between ₦7,500 and ₦11,000 depending on traffic surge.
Direct commercial Danfo buses are quite rare. Most times, you must enter a bus to Oshodi first, drop at Oshodi, and then catch another bus heading towards Cele or Mile 2.
The safest time is during broad daylight, specifically between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Night journeys increase the risk of pickpocketing at busy junctions like Oshodi and Cele.
Stay calm and remain inside the bus. Keep your windows partially rolled up if you are in a private ride, and keep your phone out of sight. If you are in a Danfo, secure your pockets and hand luggage firmly.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the worst traffic, travel between 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM (off-peak hours). If you must travel in the morning, leave before 6:30 AM. For evening travel, try to move before 4:30 PM or wait until after 8:30 PM when the initial rush dies down.
Safety Rating
Medium - Be very alert at major interchanges like Oshodi and under the bridges. Keep your phone and wallet safely inside your bag, especially when boarding crowded yellow buses (Danfos) or during night hours. Avoid flashy displays of wealth and beware of pickpockets.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or train line running all the way from Iyana Oworo to Cele. However, you can use the standard BRT buses or the Lagos Blue Line Rail for parts of your journey if you connect through Marina or Mile 2, but the most direct everyday route is via the yellow commercial Danfo buses connecting through Oshodi.
