From Maryland Bus Stop, near Maryland Mall, look for buses (Danfo) heading towards 'Ketu', 'Mile 12', or 'Ikorodu'. These are the main routes that will take you down Ikorodu Road.
Board one of these buses. Be sure to confirm the destination and tell the conductor you're dropping at 'Ketu Bus Stop'. Pay your fare.
Alight at Ketu Bus Stop. This is a major interchange and you'll easily spot it after crossing the Ketu overhead bridge.
Once you alight, walk a short distance towards the turning that leads into Secretariat Way. You'll find Keke Napep (tricycles) and smaller shuttle buses parked there.
Board a Keke Napep or a shuttle bus specifically heading into 'Ikosi' or 'Secretariat'. Confirm your destination with the driver before boarding.
Tell the driver your specific drop-off point within Ikosi. Ikosi is a distinct area, and drivers are generally familiar with key points along Secretariat Way.
Always keep smaller denominations of Naira for Danfo fares, as conductors sometimes claim not to have change for large notes.
Be aware of your surroundings and secure your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops like Maryland and Ketu.
Travel during off-peak hours (e.g., 10 AM - 3 PM) if possible to avoid the most intense traffic on Ikorodu Road, which can significantly extend travel time.
Yes, it's generally safe to travel by Danfo on this route, as it's a well-trodden commercial corridor. However, always be mindful of your belongings, keep valuables out of sight, and avoid late-night travel if possible.
While the estimated duration is 1400 seconds (approximately 23 minutes) without heavy traffic, during Lagos' notorious peak hours (6-9 AM and 4-8 PM), this journey can easily stretch to 45-75 minutes, or even more, due to congestion on Ikorodu Road.
For ride-hailing services, drivers often use real-time traffic data and may attempt to navigate alternative inner roads to mitigate congestion. However, for Danfo, Ikorodu Road is the primary and most direct artery for this connection, making significant traffic avoidance largely impossible by commercial bus.
