Head to the Jibowu BRT Terminal, located directly on Ikorodu Road. Purchase a BRT ticket or use your Cowry Card to board.
Board a BRT bus heading towards Oshodi/Mile 12. Alight at the 'Ikeja Under Bridge' BRT stop. The journey uses dedicated BRT lanes, which helps avoid general traffic.
From Ikeja Under Bridge, cross to the main road towards Awolowo Way. Look for Keke Napep (tricycles) or yellow Danfo buses heading to Allen Avenue. Confirm the destination and fare before boarding.
Always have your Cowry Card loaded or exact cash ready for BRT fares.
Be aware of pickpockets at busy bus stops, especially at Ikeja Under Bridge.
Confirm the Keke/Danfo fare to Allen Avenue before starting your journey to avoid disputes.
Traveling at night (especially after 8 PM) carries higher risks due to reduced visibility and fewer people around. If you must travel, use well-lit routes, stick to major bus stops, and consider ride-hailing services for direct, door-to-door convenience, though public transport is available.
The best way to avoid traffic is to travel during off-peak hours: mid-morning (10 AM - 1 PM) or early afternoon (2 PM - 4 PM). Using the BRT option also helps, as it utilizes dedicated lanes that bypass general traffic congestion on Ikorodu Road.
No, there are currently no train services that connect Jibowu to Allen Avenue. The primary public transport options are BRT buses, yellow Danfo buses, and Keke Napep (tricycles).

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is mid-morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or early afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) to avoid the severe peak hour traffic that typically occurs between 6:00 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium - High. While generally safe during the day, evening travel (after 7 PM) requires caution due to potential 'one-chance' incidents and petty crime, especially at busy bus stops. Always choose well-lit, active stops and avoid isolated areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a primary and often faster option for the main segment of this route, utilizing dedicated bus lanes. There is no direct rail service connecting Jibowu and Allen Avenue.
