From Mobolaji Johnson Train Station (Ebute Metta), take a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) to Jibowu Motor Park in Yaba, Lagos. This is a major hub for interstate travel.

At Jibowu, go to the booking counter of reputable transport companies such as GIGM, GUO Transport, Peace Mass Transit, or God Is Good Motors. Purchase a ticket directly to 'Ado-Ekiti'. You will typically travel in a comfortable Luxury Bus (large coach) or a Toyota Hiace (14-18 seater bus).

The journey begins on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Be prepared for potential traffic within Lagos and on parts of the expressway. The bus will usually make one major rest stop, often around Ore in Ondo State, for about 20-30 minutes. Here, you can buy refreshments and use the restroom.

After Ore, the journey continues through towns like Akure (Ondo State capital) before heading directly to Ado-Ekiti. Road conditions are generally fair, but some sections may have potholes, especially during the rainy season. You may encounter security checkpoints; have your identification ready if requested.

You will arrive at the transport company's dedicated terminal in Ado-Ekiti. These terminals are usually centrally located, often near the main 'CMS' area or Fajuyi Park. From there, take a 'Keke Napep' or 'Okada' (motorcycle taxi) to reach your final destination within Ado-Ekiti.
