From Magodo Phase 1, walk to the main road (CMD Avenue) or take a Keke Napep or a local 'short-drop' bus to Berger Bus Stop.
At Berger Bus Stop, look for a Danfo bus going directly to 'Ikorodu Garage' or 'Ikorodu Roundabout'. If direct buses are scarce, you can take a bus to Mile 12 or Ketu, then transfer to another bus heading to Ikorodu Garage.
Once at Ikorodu Garage or Ikorodu Roundabout, find a smaller Danfo bus or a Keke Napep (tricycle) that is going to 'Imota'. Always confirm your destination with the driver or conductor before boarding.
Arrive at Imota.
Always confirm the exact fare with the conductor before you board any Danfo to avoid any arguments later.
For the Berger to Ikorodu leg, aim for a 'direct' bus if available, as it minimizes transfers and potential delays.
Keep your personal belongings secure, especially in crowded bus stops like Berger, Mile 12, and Ikorodu Garage.
Be careful of 'short-trip' buses that might drop you off midway unless that's your specific intention to break the journey.
It is generally not advisable to travel long distances like this at night in Lagos, especially using public transport. The risks of 'one-chance' vehicles, petty crime, and limited transport options increase after dark. If it's absolutely necessary, use well-lit, busy bus stops and ensure your phone is charged.
No, there are no direct public buses that go straight from Magodo Phase 1 to Imota. You will need to make at least one or two transfers, typically at major transport hubs like Berger, Ojota, or Ikorodu Garage, depending on your chosen route.
To save money, always opt for public Danfo buses and BRT where available, as they are significantly cheaper than private taxis. Avoid traveling during peak hours when fares can increase due to high demand. Additionally, walking short distances to major bus stops can help you save on short Keke Napep fares.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is mid-day, typically between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, to avoid the worst of Lagos' morning and evening rush hour traffic. Traveling very early on a Saturday or Sunday morning can also significantly reduce your travel time.
Safety Rating
Medium. During daylight hours, the route is generally safe. However, there's a risk of 'one-chance' vehicles, especially if you board unmarked taxis or buses late in the evening. Always use public transport at designated, busy bus stops. Be aware of your surroundings and keep your valuables secure. Avoid travelling very late at night if possible.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available along a significant portion of Ikorodu Road, offering a faster and more structured option compared to regular Danfo buses. To use BRT, you will need to purchase and top up a BRT card. There is no direct train service relevant for this intra-city route.
