Enter a Keke or small commercial bus from Korede junction going straight to Ayobo or Ikotun bus stop.
From Ayobo or Ikotun, board a yellow Danfo bus heading towards Iyana-Iba or Igando.
Drop at Iyana-Iba bus stop, cross the road carefully using the pedestrian bridge, and find the buses loading straight to Mile 2.
Stay on the bus as it drives along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, passing through Volks and Barracks, until you arrive at the final stop.
Always hold your small change (change money) before you enter the Danfo bus to avoid fighting with conductors.
Listen carefully when conductors are calling destinations so you don't enter a bus going to standard Badagry instead of Mile 2.
Keep your bags zipped and hold them in front of your chest when dropping at Iyana-Iba or Mile 2.
If you are unsure of your exact bus stop, sit close to the driver or conductor and tell them to drop you at Mile 2 Under-bridge.

Yes, the Lagos Blue Line Rail system has a major terminal at Mile 2. You can use it to connect directly to Marina on Lagos Island very quickly.
Mile 2 can be very rough and dangerous late at night or early in the morning. It is best to avoid moving through the area past 8:30 PM. Always stay in crowded, well-lit spaces.
Do not panic. Wait for the conductor to transfer you to another bus ('wone') or ask for a partial refund ('balance') so you can board another commercial bus moving your way.
