Take a short Keke or a local commercial bus from Magodo Phase 1 or 2 out to the main highway at Ketu Bus Stop.
From Ketu Bus Stop, board a direct yellow Danfo bus going to Oshodi Oke.
Cross the pedestrian bridge at Oshodi and find the park for buses heading towards Mile 2 or Badagry. Board a Danfo and tell the conductor you will drop at Mile 2.
From Mile 2, take a short connection bus, a Keke, or an internal transit bus straight into Maza Maza motor park.
Always hold your change (smaller notes) in your hand before entering the Danfo to avoid fights with the conductor.
Keep your phone inside your deep pocket or bag, and do not press it when standing in crowded areas at Oshodi or Mile 2.
Ask the conductor clearly if the bus is going through the expressway or the internal local roads before you enter.
Count your balance immediately the conductor hands it to you so you do not lose your money.
