Go to a reputable interstate bus park that services routes along the A1, Ibadan-Ilorin Expressway towards Lagos.
Board an interstate bus heading to Lagos. Confirm the route passes through Ibadan and Oyo.
Alight at a major bus terminal in Lagos (e.g., Jibowu, Ojota, or Berger).
From the Lagos terminal, take a public bus (Danfo or BRT) heading towards CMS/Obalende.
From CMS or Obalende, board a bus (Danfo or BRT) specifically going to Ajah via the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Alight at Ajah Bus Stop. From there, take a Keke Napep or a local Danfo to Aiyetoro Road.
Book your interstate bus ticket in advance, especially during festive seasons.
Carry light snacks and water for the long journey.
Keep your valuables secure and easily accessible.
For the Lagos leg, look for BRT buses as they are generally faster and more organized than regular Danfos.
It is strongly advised to avoid night travel for such a long inter-state journey. Depart early in the morning to ensure you reach Lagos during daylight hours. Highway security risks are higher at night.
Traffic on Lekki-Epe Expressway is heaviest during morning rush hour (6:00 AM - 10:00 AM) and evening rush hour (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM). Try to plan your arrival into Ajah outside these times. Taking the BRT can sometimes help navigate traffic better than private cars.
Once you get to Ajah Bus Stop, you can easily find Keke Napep (tricycles) and local Danfo buses that will take you to various streets, including Aiyetoro Road, for a small fare.

Best Time to Travel
Depart very early in the morning (between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM) to cover most of the long distance in daylight and arrive at your destination before nightfall. This also helps beat early morning traffic out of your starting location and into Lagos.
Safety Rating
Medium-High. This is a very long journey. While major highways are generally safe during the day, night travel increases risks of vehicle breakdown, highway robbery, and poor visibility. 'One-chance' syndicates are a concern on local Lagos routes if you pick unverified taxis or buses, especially late at night.
BRT / Rail / Water
The Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge rail line offers a comfortable and safer alternative for the Ibadan-Lagos segment of this journey. BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) services are available for connecting within Lagos, especially from major terminals like Iyana Oworo, CMS, and Fadeyi, which can take you towards Ajah.
