Locate the main Ketu Bus Stop. This area is a significant transport hub, teeming with yellow commercial buses (Danfos) loading passengers in various directions.
Identify buses heading towards Mile 12. Conductors will be loudly calling out 'Mile 12!' or 'Ikorodu Road!' as their destination. Confirm with the conductor that the bus is indeed going to Mile 12 Market.
Board the bus promptly. Find a seat and prepare your fare. The conductor will usually collect payment shortly after departure or once the bus is sufficiently filled.
The journey is direct along Ikorodu Road. It's a relatively short distance, and the bus will pass a few minor stops or junctions before reaching Mile 12.
As you approach the market, tell the conductor 'Mile 12!' or 'owa!' (drop) to signal your intention to alight. The bus will drop you off right at the main entrance or a designated drop-off point for Mile 12 Market.
Always carry small denominations (₦50, ₦100, ₦200) for bus fares. Conductors often do not have change for larger notes.
Be extra vigilant with your belongings, especially during boarding, alighting, and inside crowded buses. Keep bags secure and close to your body.
Confirm the exact destination with the conductor before boarding, even for seemingly obvious routes. Some buses might take slightly different turns or stop just before/after your intended point.
The journey from Ketu to Mile 12 Market is relatively short and direct. Without significant traffic, it typically takes about 10-20 minutes by commercial bus or private car. During peak rush hours, however, it could extend to 30-40 minutes due to congestion on Ikorodu Road.
To best avoid the notorious Lagos traffic, consider traveling very early in the morning (before 6:30 AM) or later in the evening (after 8 PM). Mid-day, particularly between 11 AM and 2 PM, can also offer a relatively smoother commute compared to the intense morning and evening rush hours.
Mile 12 Market is one of Lagos's most prominent wholesale food markets. You can expect to find a vast array of fresh produce including fruits, vegetables, grains, tubers, livestock, and other essential foodstuff, often at competitive prices. It's an excellent destination for bulk grocery shopping.
