Compiling Route Details...
Moving from Mile 2 to Allen Avenue requires cutting across the heart of Lagos mainland. Because of recent fuel price increases and high inflation, standard bus fares fluctuate frequently. The journey involves taking a commercial bus (Danfo) from Mile 2 up to Oshodi, changing buses or taking a direct link toward Ikeja, and using a final bus or Keke to enter Allen Avenue. Depending on the time of day and traffic blockages, the trip can take anywhere from 45 minutes to over two hours.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy morning traffic, depart Mile 2 before 6:30 AM. For off-peak travel, mid-day between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM is usually smooth. If traveling in the evening, try to leave before 4:00 PM or wait until after 8:30 PM to avoid the worst rush-hour gridlock.
Safety Rating
Medium - Mile 2 and Oshodi are very crowded areas with high commercial activity. Keep your phones, bags, and wallets securely zipped up, especially inside the garages and when boarding moving buses. Avoid displaying large cash or expensive jewelry. Be alert at night around Ikeja Under-Bridge where pickpockets operate in the shadows.
BRT / Rail / Water
Partial. You can use the Cowry card to board the regulated high-capacity LAGBUS or BRT from Mile 2 terminal heading toward Oshodi. For the final leg from Oshodi to Ikeja, you will rely mostly on standard yellow Danfo buses, though the Lagos Blue Line rail is available nearby but does not directly connect this specific route.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
