Walk or take a short local walk from your house in Makoko to the main road at Adekunle Bus Stop.
Board a commercial yellow Danfo bus going to Yaba and drop at Yaba Under-bridge.
From Yaba Under-bridge, cross over or enter another short-distance Danfo bus heading towards Ojota or Ikorodu Road, and drop at Fadeyi Bus Stop.
Always hold change (smaller Naira notes) when you enter a Danfo to avoid serious fighting with the conductor.
Keep your bag in front of you and securely zipped at Yaba Under-bridge so boys do not slide their hands inside.
Listen carefully when the conductor shouts destination names so you do not board a bus going towards Oyingbo by mistake.

With the current fuel price situation, using public buses will cost you between ₦900 and ₦1,500 in total. If you choose a private ride-hailing car, expect to pay between ₦3,500 and ₦5,500 depending on traffic.
No, you will rarely find a direct Danfo bus loading from inside Makoko straight to Fadeyi. You must come out to the main road at Adekunle or Herbert Macaulay Way and follow the connection through Yaba or Jibowu.
If Yaba is completely blocked, tell your driver or conductor that you want to drop. You can easily trek past the traffic hotspot up to Jibowu, and from there enter another cheap, quick bus straight to Fadeyi.
Fadeyi requires high alertness after dark. It is a major transit point, and area boys sometimes use the crowded atmosphere to pick pockets or snatch phones. Keep your electronic items hidden and do not stand alone in dark corners.
