Depart from Mende Road and take a 'Keke' (tricycle) or 'Danfo' (mini-bus) heading towards Ojota.
At Ojota Bus Stop, board a 'Danfo' heading towards 'Fadeyi' or 'Jibowu'. This bus will take you along Ikorodu Road.
From Fadeyi or Jibowu, take another 'Danfo' specifically going to 'Ojuelegba'. This will be a short ride along Western Avenue.
Look for 'short-trip' buses at major bus stops; they might be slightly cheaper or faster if you're only going a few stops.
Always confirm the destination with the 'conductor' before boarding to avoid going in the wrong direction.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded 'Danfo' buses.
The cheapest way is typically by using a combination of 'Danfo' buses, as outlined in Option 1. BRT (Option 2) can be slightly more expensive for the BRT leg but might save time.
While possible, evening travel (after 8:00 PM) carries higher safety risks due to 'one-chance' incidents. If you must travel at night, try to use well-lit, busy bus stops and consider sharing a ride with someone you know if possible. Fares might also be slightly higher at night.
Direct 'Danfo' buses are rare for this specific route. You will almost certainly need to make at least one or two transfers at major bus stops like Ojota or Fadeyi/Jibowu.
'Keke' is the local term for a motorized tricycle, commonly used for short-distance travel within neighborhoods in Lagos.

Best Time to Travel
Early morning (before 6:30 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) are ideal to avoid peak hour traffic. Evening travel after 7:00 PM also sees reduced traffic, but safety precautions are more critical. Avoid 6:30 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium. During the day, the route is generally safe, but travelers should be aware of petty theft and pickpockets in crowded areas like bus stops. 'One-chance' vehicles (unregistered public transport used for robbery) are a risk, especially if traveling late at night or with few other passengers. Always use known bus stops and avoid isolated areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant portion of this route, particularly along Ikorodu Road, offering a faster and more structured public transport option. There is no rail service for this specific intra-city route.
