From Maryland, head towards the bus stop near Maryland Mall (also known as the Maryland Bus Stop). Board a yellow commercial bus (Danfo) specifically heading to "Oshodi Under Bridge" or "Oshodi Terminal 2/3". Ensure you confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding.
Alight at Oshodi. You will be dropped off either directly under the main Oshodi bridge or within the expansive Oshodi Transport Interchange area, depending on the specific bus route. Keep an eye out for the busy Oshodi market environment.
Once at Oshodi, navigate to the designated park for buses heading towards "Agege" or "Dopemu/Iyana-Ipaja via Agege". It's best to ask a uniformed park official or a reputable-looking conductor for directions to the 'Agege Park' within the interchange.
Board a bus clearly marked "Agege" or "Dopemu". Before settling, confirm with the conductor that it will pass through your desired drop-off point in Agege (e.g., Pen Cinema, Agege Market, Railway Crossing, or Ikeja Along).
During the journey, stay attentive. Tell the conductor your exact destination in Agege (e.g., "Pen Cinema", "Agege Market", "Railway Crossing") so they can alert you when you arrive at your stop.
If your final destination is not directly on Agege Motor Road or a major bus stop, you might need to take a short connecting ride via a Keke Napep (tricycle) or a local motorcycle (Okada, if available and safe) from your drop-off point.
Always confirm the destination with the conductor *before* boarding and paying, especially at bustling hubs like Oshodi, to avoid misdirection.
Traffic on Ikorodu Road and Agege Motor Road can be notoriously heavy. Avoid peak hours (7-9 AM, 4-7 PM) if your schedule allows, or be prepared for significantly longer travel times.
Keep your cash in small denominations readily accessible for fares. Store larger sums securely and out of sight to deter petty theft.

Ikorodu Road
While generally safe during the day, traveling late at night (after 8 PM) on public transport in Lagos carries increased risks due to reduced visibility and fewer people. Ride-hailing services are highly recommended for safety and convenience if traveling during these hours.
During off-peak hours, the journey can take about 45 minutes to 1 hour. However, during peak periods (morning and evening rush hours, 7-9 AM and 4-7 PM), it can easily extend to 1.5 to 2 hours or even more due to heavy traffic congestion on Ikorodu Road and Agege Motor Road.
Oshodi can be an overwhelming interchange. Don't hesitate to politely ask for directions from other commuters, market vendors, or uniformed park officials. Look for buses with clear destination boards. It's best to avoid engaging with touts who seem overly pushy or demand payment upfront for directions.
