Moving from Maryland to Ejigbo is a journey that connects the central part of Lagos mainland to the inner residential area of Ejigbo. Because there is no single direct yellow bus (Danfo) that goes from Maryland straight to Ejigbo, you have to break the journey into stages. You will mostly move through major transit hubs like Oshodi or Isolo before entering Ejigbo, or use ride-hailing services for a direct trip.
Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy traffic, travel during the off-peak hours between 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM. If you must travel in the morning, leave Maryland before 6:30 AM. For evening travel, try to move before 4:30 PM or after 8:30 PM to avoid getting stuck at Oshodi or Jakande Gate.

Walk to Maryland Bus Stop under the bridge or near the entrance of Mallam Aminu Kano Crescent and board a yellow Danfo bus going to Oshodi.
Drop at Oshodi Under-bridge or the main Oshodi Interchange. Walk down to the park where buses are loading for Isolo or Cele Bus Stop.
Board a Danfo heading towards Cele Bus Stop or Isolo, and tell the driver or conductor that you will drop at Isolo Bus Stop.
From Isolo Bus Stop, locate the local park and enter a direct Danfo bus or a tricycle (Keke Marwa) that goes straight into Ejigbo, dropping at Jakande Gate or Ejigbo bus stop.
Always hold your change (smaller naira notes) in your hand before you enter the bus to avoid 'no change' fights with the conductor.
Ask the conductor clearly if the bus is going inside Ejigbo or just stopping at the highway bridge before you enter.
Keep your phones away when the bus stops in traffic around Oshodi or Anthony to avoid boys snatching it through the window.
If you travel late at night, make sure you enter buses that have full passengers already rather than empty buses waiting at dark spots.

Safety Rating
Medium - Be very alert at major transport hubs like Oshodi and Cele Bus Stop. Hold your bags tightly and keep your phones in your inner pockets, especially early in the morning and late at night, to avoid pickpockets (One-Chance operators and area boys).
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT lane or train line that runs from Maryland straight into Ejigbo. However, you can use the standard BRT buses from Maryland to move along Ikorodu Road to get closer to Oshodi, or use the Lagos Blue/Red rail lines for other parts of Lagos, but not for this specific inner route.

No, there is no direct yellow Danfo bus from Maryland straight to Ejigbo. You must take a bus to a middle point like Oshodi, Isolo, or Cele Bus Stop first, and then take another bus or Keke into Ejigbo.
Due to fuel price increases and inflation, if you are using public buses (Danfo and Keke), you should budget between ₦1,500 and ₦2,600 for a one-way journey. If you use a ride-hailing app, it will cost between ₦6,500 and ₦10,000 depending on traffic.
The worst time to travel is during the evening rush hour, between 4:30 PM and 8:00 PM. This is when workers are heading home, and places like Anthony, Oshodi, and Jakande Gate become heavily blocked with traffic.
Stay inside the bus and do not bring out your phone to browse or make calls. Keep your bags close to your chest. If you must change buses, walk quickly to where people are plenty and avoid dark corners under the bridges.
