Walk out from Korede street or junction and board a straight Danfo heading to Mushin Olosha or directly to Oshodi.
Drop at Mushin Olosha or Oshodi under-bridge and cross safely over to the motor park heading towards Onipanu or Town Planning.
Enter another Danfo or a stable Keke Marwa going inside Ilupeju via Town Planning Way.
Tell the conductor or driver your final bus stop inside Ilupeju (like Palmgrove, Bhojsons, or Industrial Estate) and alight safely.
Always enter the bus with your small money (change) to avoid rough arguments with danfo conductors.
Keep your eyes on your valuables at busy bus stops like Olosha or Oshodi.
Ask the driver if the bus is going 'straight' or taking a detour to avoid sudden drops.
If you see a direct bus going from Oshodi to Ilupeju, jump inside quickly as it saves you double fare.

Because of current fuel price hikes, the total cost by public danfo ranges between ₦900 and ₦1,400. If you decide to take a private ride-hailing car, expect to pay between ₦4,500 and ₦7,000 depending on the time of day.
It is moderately safe, but you must be very alert. Major junctions like Mushin Olosha and Oshodi can get dangerous from 9:00 PM upwards. Try to finish your journey before it gets completely dark, and do not hold your phone carelessly near the bus windows.
The fastest option is to head towards Ikorodu Road (Fadeyi/Onipanu) and use the regulated transport lanes or take the new Red Line rail if your timing aligns, rather than sitting inside a local danfo passing through the crowded Mushin market area.
Yes, very heavily. Once it starts raining, spots like Town Planning Way and Mushin roads experience heavy water logging. Danfo drivers use this opportunity to double or even triple fares, so a ₦1,000 trip can easily jump to ₦2,000.
