Walk or enter a short Keke from your specific location in Mushin to Olosha Bus Stop or Mushin Garage.
Board a direct yellow Danfo bus going to Oshodi. Drop at the main Oshodi Under-bridge or Oshodi Interchange.
From Oshodi, walk to the terminal and find the big Danfo buses heading straight towards Mile 12 or Ketu. Ensure you ask the conductor to confirm they are passing the express route.
Stay on the bus as it drives past Ojota and Ketu. Tell the conductor you will drop at the final bus stop close to the market.
Always carry smaller cash denominations (called change) to avoid long arguments with the Danfo conductor.
Hold your bags tightly in front of you while waiting or walking through the Oshodi Interchange.
Keep an eye on the traffic flow before entering a bus; sometimes drivers change fares midway if they see unexpected traffic ahead.
Avoid using your mobile phone near the windows of a moving or static Danfo bus to prevent snatching.

Safety Rating
Medium - Commuters must stay alert and watch their belongings closely. Mushin can get rowdy around the local markets and garages, especially early in the morning and late at night. Pickpockets are common at crowded junctions like Oshodi and Ketu Under-bridge. Keep your phones and wallets secure inside your bags, avoid counting money openly, and stay clear of any sudden street brawls or gatherings.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, BRT buses are available along the major stretch of this route. While there is no direct BRT or train starting directly from inside Mushin to Mile 12, you can easily access the standard BRT corridor once you move out of Mushin and connect at Ojota or Fadeyi along Ikorodu Road.

Due to the current fuel prices and general transport fare inflation, the total cost by public Danfo bus ranges between ₦1,100 and ₦1,700 depending on the exact peak period and weather conditions.
Direct buses from inside Mushin straight to Mile 12 are very rare. The standard practice is to first take a short trip to Oshodi or Fadeyi/Onipanu, and then board a direct connection heading to Ketu Mile 12.
The most difficult traffic spots are usually around the Oshodi Interchange area and the bottleneck created at the Ketu Under-bridge and Mile 12 Market junction where heavy trucks and offloading activities block the lanes.
Yes, you can use your Cowry Card if you decide to take the alternative option of connecting via the standard BRT buses along the Ikorodu Road corridor starting from Fadeyi or Ojota down to Mile 12.
