Showing the primary/fastest route plan
First, make your way to the main Ogbese junction or the designated shared taxi park within Ogbese. These points are usually easy to spot due to the gathering of commercial vehicles and passengers.
Once there, look for cars (often Toyota Corollas, Sienna minivans, or other sedans) whose drivers or conductors are calling out 'Akure' or 'Old Garage'. Always confirm that their destination is indeed Akure before proceeding.
Agree on the fare per passenger before you get into the car. These are shared rides, meaning the car will typically wait until it's full (usually 4 passengers for a sedan, 6-7 for a Sienna minivan). If you prefer to leave immediately or have a lot of luggage, you can pay for the empty seats.
The journey is usually direct along the Akure-Owo Expressway. The car will generally drop passengers at 'Old Garage' (also known as Oja Oba) in Akure, which is a very central transport hub. You can sometimes request to be dropped at a specific point along the main road within Akure, provided it's convenient for the driver and other passengers.
