Moving from Ketu to Ijegun takes you from the central-eastern part of Lagos down to the Alimosho area in the west. It is a long journey that requires crossing several major traffic bottlenecks. Because there is no single direct commercial bus from Ketu to Ijegun, you must connect through major transit hubs like Oshodi, Cele Bus Stop, or Ikotun. Due to high fuel prices, fares have increased significantly, so you need to plan your budget and movement carefully.
Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
To beat the worst traffic, leave Ketu early between 6:00 AM and 7:00 AM, or wait until the mid-day off-peak period between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Avoid heading towards Ikotun and Ijegun between 5:00 PM and 8:30 PM because workers returning home cause heavy gridlock.

Go to the main Ketu Bus Stop on Ikorodu Road and board a commercial bus (Danfo) heading to Oshodi.
Drop at Oshodi Interchange, walk to the Mile 2/Apapa park, and board another Danfo heading to Cele Bus Stop along the expressway.
At Cele Bus Stop, cross over to the internal park and board a direct Danfo going straight to Ikotun.
Drop at Ikotun Bus Stop, walk down to the Ijegun garage, and enter a final Danfo or a tricycle (Keke) that goes straight into Ijegun.
Always hold small change (change of ₦100, ₦200, or ₦500) to avoid 'No Change' fights with Danfo conductors.
Ask the conductor where the bus is stopping exactly before you enter, so you do not drop at the wrong spot.
Keep your bag zipped and hold your phone tightly in your hand or front pocket while walking through Oshodi and Cele parks.
If you are traveling heavy with luggage, the conductor might charge you an extra fee for your bag.

Safety Rating
Medium - Keep your phones and wallets safe at busy hubs like Oshodi and Cele Bus Stop. Watch out for pickpockets, especially during rush hours when people are rushing to board buses. Avoid moving very late at night on Ijegun Road because some parts can get dark and quiet.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT bus or train line that goes from Ketu all the way to Ijegun. However, you can use the standard BRT bus from Ketu to Oshodi to enjoy a smoother first leg of the journey before switching to regular commercial buses (Danfo) or Keke for the remaining legs.

No, there is no single direct commercial Danfo bus from Ketu to Ijegun. You must stop at intermediate hubs like Oshodi, Cele Bus Stop, or Ikotun and transfer to another bus.
For a public bus (Danfo) journey, you should budget between ₦1,800 and ₦2,800 for a one-way trip. It is wise to hold an extra ₦1,000 in case of sudden evening price hikes or rain.
The safest time is during daylight hours, specifically between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Avoid traveling very late at night because security risks increase and fares become much higher.
If it is late and you can't find a direct Danfo to Ijegun, look for the tricycles (Keke) or join a shared 'shortcut' car. Alternatively, move to a well-lit, busy area near a petrol station or a shopping complex to call a registered ride-hailing car.
