Start at Marina and make your way to the CMS Bus Terminal. This is a short walk or a quick Keke Napep ride.
At CMS, board a BRT bus heading to Oshodi. Look for buses with 'Oshodi' clearly displayed. Pay your fare at the ticket booth before boarding.
From Oshodi Transport Interchange, locate the bus park for vehicles going towards Agege or Pen Cinema. Board a yellow Danfo bus or a mini-bus (Korope) going in this direction.
Alight at Pen Cinema or Agege Underbridge. From there, you will find Keke Napep (tricycles) or smaller Danfo buses specifically going into New Oko Oba.
BRT buses offer a more comfortable and generally safer ride.
Keep your BRT card topped up for convenience.
Be prepared for queues at BRT terminals during peak hours.
Always confirm your destination with the bus conductor before boarding any Danfo or Keke.
While public transport operates into the night, it's generally advisable to complete your journey before 8:00 PM. If you must travel at night, stick to well-lit, busy routes and consider using ride-hailing apps for more direct, albeit pricier, options if safety is a primary concern (though not covered in this public transport guide).
For small bags, you can keep them on your lap. For larger luggage, especially in Danfo buses, you might need to pay for an extra seat ('attachment') or place it in the boot, if available. BRT buses usually have designated luggage areas but space can be limited during peak hours.
For BRT, look for the designated BRT terminals and clearly marked buses. For Danfo and Keke Napep, conductors often shout their destinations. Always ask 'Oko Oba?' or 'Pen Cinema?' to confirm before boarding.
No, a direct public transport bus from Marina to New Oko Oba is highly unlikely due to the distance and the nature of Lagos's intra-city transport system. You will almost certainly need to take at least two or three different vehicles.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is mid-morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or early afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) on weekdays to avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic. Weekends generally offer smoother journeys.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, pickpocketing is common in crowded areas like Oshodi and Agege bus stops. 'One-chance' mini-buses (where passengers are robbed) can occur, especially at night or on less busy routes. Always be vigilant and avoid displaying valuables.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a significant option for the CMS to Oshodi leg of this journey, offering a more structured and often faster experience due to dedicated lanes. There is no direct train service covering this specific route.
