From CMS Bus Stop, locate and board a yellow Danfo bus heading towards Oshodi. Confirm with the conductor that it's going to Oshodi Under Bridge.
At Oshodi, look for a Keke Marwa or a smaller yellow Danfo (often called 'korope') going to Papa Ajao. You might need to ask for 'Isolo' or 'Airport Road' and alight at Papa Ajao Bus Stop.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of the rush hour traffic. Mid-afternoon (between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM) can also be manageable. Avoid traveling during evening rush hour (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible, as travel time can double.
Safety Rating
Medium. While main routes are generally busy and safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents can occur, especially in isolated areas or at night. Pickpocketing is common in crowded bus stops like Oshodi and CMS. Always be aware of your surroundings.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for segments of the journey, particularly from Ajah to CMS/TBS or Ajah to Iyana-Oworo, which can offer a more structured and sometimes faster experience. There is no direct BRT route for the entire journey. There are no local train services available for this route.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
