The fastest way is typically by using a ride-hailing service like Uber or Bolt, as it offers a direct route with minimal stops. However, this is also the most expensive option.
The cheapest option involves using a combination of Danfo buses and Keke Napep. This requires more transfers and can be less comfortable, especially during peak hours.
While there isn't a single direct bus service that covers the entire route seamlessly, you can utilize the BRT system with a transfer or take a Danfo bus that goes in the general direction of Ikeja.
Travel time can vary significantly due to Lagos traffic. On average, expect anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour for this journey, depending on your chosen mode of transport and the time of day.
