Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Depart from Ogba, Benin City. Take a local Keke or taxi to a major interstate bus park. Common parks for Lagos-bound buses include those for God is Good Motors (GIGM), Big Joe, or The Young Shall Grow.
Board an executive interstate bus heading to Lagos. The bus will follow the main route: Exit Benin City via Airport Road, Akpakpava Road, Dawson Road, Iyaro Street, Urubi, then connect to the A121 highway. The A121 leads to the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Continue on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, passing through Ogun State, and entering Lagos State. The bus will typically drop passengers at major terminals like Jibowu, Maza Maza, or Berger Bus Stop in Lagos.
From your Lagos drop-off point (e.g., Jibowu), take a Danfo (yellow bus) heading towards Costain or Mile 2. If at Maza Maza, you are closer to Mile 2. If at Berger, you'll need to connect to a bus heading towards Iyana Oworo/Third Mainland Bridge, then connect to a Mile 2 bound bus.
From Costain or Mile 2, find a direct Danfo or Keke (tricycle) heading into Apapa. Be prepared for severe traffic on Apapa Road and Wharf Road. The bus will navigate through Ikorodu Road, Western Avenue, Apapa Road, Wharf Road, Itapeju Avenue, and Randle Avenue to reach Apapa.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to depart from Ogba (Benin City) is very early in the morning (e.g., 5:00 AM - 6:00 AM). This allows you to cover most of the interstate journey before Lagos traffic builds up and to arrive in Apapa before peak afternoon congestion.
Safety Rating
Medium. The interstate journey is generally safe during daylight hours. However, night travel on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway can pose risks from highway robbers. Within Lagos, 'one-chance' syndicates operate, especially in less crowded areas or late at night. Always use reputable public transport and be aware of your surroundings.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no BRT or train service directly from Ogba (Benin City) to Apapa (Lagos). However, BRT services are available for the final leg of the journey within Lagos, particularly along Ikorodu Road, offering a relatively faster and more structured public transport option once you arrive in Lagos. The Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge train operates between Ibadan and Lagos, but you would need to arrange separate transport to Ibadan first.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
