Walk to the Ketu Last Stop or Ketu Under-bridge and board a yellow Danfo bus heading directly to Oshodi.
Drop at Oshodi Under-bridge, walk quickly to the Oshodi Oke park, and board another Danfo going towards Mile 2.
Drop at Mile 2 bus stop, cross the pedestrian bridge safely to the other side facing the Badagry Expressway axis.
Board a short-distance Danfo or enter a Keke Marwa (tricycle) heading into Amuwo Odofin or Festac 1st Avenue.
Always enter buses inside the designated parks rather than boarding on the roadside to avoid fake transport operations or 'one-chance' thieves.
Hold smaller denominations of Naira notes ('change') to hand over to the conductor so you do not get delayed or mixed up with other passengers.
Keep your bag zipped and hold it tightly across your chest when walking through the crowd at Oshodi and Mile 2.
If a bus conductor tells you 'No Change' before you enter, confirm with other passengers to see if you can pair up before the journey ends.
Due to current fuel price hikes, the total cost by commercial yellow buses ranges from ₦1,800 to ₦2,600 depending on the time of day. If you choose ride-hailing services, expect to pay between ₦8,500 and ₦13,000.
Mile 2 has a high rate of security issues after dark. It is not advisable to stand alone or carry valuable electronics openly past 8:00 PM. If you must pass through at night, stay in well-lit areas where other commuters are gathered and board moving buses quickly.
No, there is no direct BRT bus from Ketu to Amuwo Odofin. You must take a BRT to Oshodi first, then change buses to continue your journey to Mile 2 and Amuwo Odofin.
If the traffic at Cele is completely deadlocked, many commuters alight from their buses and take commercial motorcycles (Okada) to Mile 2. However, be very careful as these bikes can be risky on the express. Otherwise, stay in the bus and exercise patience.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the morning rush hour, leave Ketu between 5:30 AM and 6:15 AM. For afternoon off-peak travel, the best time is between 11:00 AM and 2:30 PM. Avoid starting your journey between 4:30 PM and 8:30 PM because of heavy workers' traffic returning from the islands and port areas.
Safety Rating
Medium - Commuters must be highly alert at major exchange points like Ojota, Oshodi, and Mile 2. Pickpocketing, bag snatching, and 'one-chance' vehicles are common early in the morning and late at night. Avoid displaying your phones near open bus windows, and do not carry large amounts of cash openly.
BRT / Rail / Water
The Lagos BRT operates along the Ikorodu Road axis from Ketu to Ojota/Oshodi, which helps bypass early morning traffic. The Blue Line Rail is available nearby at Mile 2, which connects directly to Marina, but it does not run directly into the interior of Amuwo Odofin from Ketu.
