Route Navigation
Maryland Mall
Head to the main Maryland Bus Stop area, specifically near the Maryland Mall entrance or along Ikorodu Road where buses pick up passengers.
Maryland Bus Stop (Ikorodu Road side)
Look out for yellow commercial buses (Danfos) or even BRT feeder buses with 'Ketu' boldly written on their front, or listen for conductors shouting 'Ketu! Ketu!' to attract passengers.
Onboard the Danfo
Board the bus. It's often a tight squeeze, especially during peak hours. Confirm with the conductor that the bus is indeed going directly to Ketu before finding a seat or standing space.
Onboard the Danfo
Pay your fare to the conductor. Always have smaller denominations (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) ready, as getting change for larger notes can sometimes be an issue.
Ketu Bus Stop
As the bus approaches Ojota and crosses the flyover, prepare to alight. Tell the conductor 'Ketu, o wa' or 'Ketu here, I want to drop' well in advance to ensure the driver stops at the official Ketu Bus Stop.
💡Pro Travel Tips
Always keep cash, preferably in smaller denominations, as digital payments are rarely accepted on Danfos.
Be extra vigilant with your belongings, especially during rush hours when buses are crowded.
To avoid getting lost, confirm your destination with the conductor and a fellow passenger if unsure.
