Moving from the Korede / Sabo area in Yaba to Fadeyi along the Ikorodu Road corridor is a very short and straightforward journey on the Lagos Mainland. Because the distance is quite close, you have access to quick commercial buses (Danfos), tricycles (Kekes), and ride-hailing options that can take you straight through the heart of Yaba and straight to the Fadeyi bus stop.

Walk out from the Korede area down to the main road at Sabo Bus Stop or Commercial Avenue.
Board a direct Danfo bus heading towards Ojuelegba or Jibowu/Fadeyi. If you do not see a direct Fadeyi bus, enter the one going to Yaba Bus Stop first.
From Yaba Bus Stop, enter a short-trip Danfo bus heading towards Ojota or Ketu, and tell the conductor you will drop at Fadeyi.
Highlight safely at the Fadeyi Bus Stop along the Ikorodu Road service lane.
Always hold small change (change / 'wazo') to pay the conductor so you do not get stuck fighting for change at the bus stop.
Keep your bag zipped and hold it tightly in front of your chest while waiting at Yaba or Jibowu bus stops.
Check the destination the conductor is calling carefully before you jump in, as some buses bypass the main service lane.
If the traffic at Sabo is bad, simply walk down to Jibowu to get a cheaper and faster bus straight to Fadeyi.

Because of current fuel prices and high transport inflation, if you take a standard commercial Danfo bus, the total cost will range from ₦800 to ₦1,200. If you decide to take a private ride-hailing car, it will cost you between ₦3,500 and ₦5,500 depending on the traffic situation.
No, there is no direct BRT bus starting from inside Korede or Sabo. However, you can easily take a short walk or hop on a cheap Keke to Yaba Bus Stop or Jibowu, where you can find the main BRT corridors and use your Cowry card to enter a bus going to Fadeyi.
The main places where you will encounter heavy traffic are the Sabo Roundabout, the major Yaba Bus Stop intersection, and the Jibowu under-bridge area. Traffic also builds up heavily right at the Fadeyi bus stop during evening rush hours.
It is best to be very careful after 9:00 PM. The stretch between Jibowu and Fadeyi can become lonely and dark, making it a target for pickpockets and hoodlums ('area boys'). If you must travel late, use a registered ride-hailing car or stay inside a fully loaded commercial bus.
