This guide helps you move smoothly from Jibowu (Mainland Lagos) to Adeniji Adele (Lagos Island). Because of fuel price hikes, fares have gone up, but this route is very straightforward if you use the Third Mainland Bridge corridor.
Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
For morning trips, move before 6:30 AM to beat the heavy Island-bound traffic. For afternoon or off-peak travel, 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM is usually very free.
Safety Rating
Medium - Jibowu is generally safe during the day but has many pickpockets at night. Watch your pockets around the bus stops. Adeniji can be rough under the bridge, so do not display your phone or expensive items.

Walk to the main Jibowu bus stop near the old Chisco or Peace Mass Transit parks.
Look for conductors shouting 'Obalende' or 'CMS' that are passing through Third Mainland Bridge. Ask the conductor if they will drop you at Adeniji.
Enter the bus and sit comfortably. The driver will take Herbert Macaulay Way or Ikorodu Road to enter the Third Mainland Bridge.
Tell the conductor 'Adeniji drop!' immediately you cross the lagoon so he can prepare to stop for you at the bus stop.
Always hold small change (change/change) like ₦200 or ₦500 notes to avoid fighting with conductors.
Keep your bag in front of you at the Jibowu park, especially early in the morning.
Check the route with the driver before entering to ensure he is not passing through Western Avenue/Eko Bridge instead.
Fares are usually higher from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM due to heavy demand.

Bypass the Ikeja Under-Bridge corridor from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Traffic builds rapidly due to commercial buses loading along the main road lanes.
Areas Affected
Ikorodu Road
Because of high fuel prices and inflation, a standard Danfo or Korope bus costs between ₦800 and ₦1,200. It can go up to ₦1,500 if there is heavy rain or severe gridlock.
No, there is no direct BRT bus route connecting Jibowu to Adeniji. You will have to use the yellow commercial buses (Danfo), mini-buses (Korope), or ride-hailing cars.
It is not advisable. Adeniji is a very busy area with 'area boys' and pickpockets around the under-bridge. Keep your phone inside your zipped bag or deep pocket until you get to a secure place.
The fastest way is to leave Jibowu very early, latest by 6:00 AM or 6:30 AM. Once it passes 7:00 AM, the rush hour traffic heading to the Island can lock you down on the bridge for an hour or more.
