Depart from Ojota Bus Stop/Terminal. Look for the BRT stand heading towards Ikeja/Oshodi.
Board a BRT bus going towards Ikeja. The bus will take the Maryland-Opebi-Ojota Link Bridge and Ikorodu Road, then turn onto Mobolaji Bank-Anthony Way.
Alight at 'Ikeja Under Bridge' or 'Ikeja Along' BRT station. This is a major interchange point.
From Ikeja Under Bridge, walk towards the Danfo/Keke Napep park. Look for buses or Keke Napeps going to 'Akowonjo' or 'Egbeda' (which passes Akowonjo).
Board a Danfo or Keke Napep. The vehicle will typically follow Obafemi Awolowo Way, Ikeja Flyover, Agege Motor Road, and Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway before turning into Surulere Road towards Akowonjo.
Alight at Akowonjo Roundabout or your specific stop on Okeho Street.
Purchase and recharge your BRT card at BRT terminals for faster boarding.
If Akowonjo direct buses are scarce at Ikeja, you can board one going to 'Egbeda' and alight at the Akowonjo junction (Surulere Road).
Keke Napeps are generally faster but slightly more expensive than Danfos for the Ikeja-Akowonjo leg.
While the ideal travel time is 11 minutes (without traffic), actual travel time by public transport can range from 45 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or even longer during peak traffic hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) due to congestion.
Yes, key bus stops and landmarks include Ojota Terminal, Maryland, Anthony, Ikeja Under Bridge/Along, Cement, Mangoro, and Akowonjo Roundabout. These are useful for boarding or alighting.
Traveling at night (especially after 8:00 PM) carries higher risks in Lagos. It's advisable to complete your journey before then. If you must travel late, use well-lit, busy routes and avoid unofficial or empty public vehicles. Stay vigilant.
While ride-hailing apps are available, this guide focuses on public transport options (BRT, Danfo, Keke Napep) for cost-effectiveness and general accessibility. Using a ride-hailing app would be a private hire, not a public commuting method.
'One-chance' refers to criminal gangs who operate disguised as public transport providers. They pick up unsuspecting passengers, rob them, and sometimes commit further crimes. Be wary of empty or suspiciously clean Danfos, especially at night or from unofficial stops. Always board from designated bus stops.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) and late mornings (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) are the best times to avoid the worst of Lagos traffic. Afternoons (1:00 PM - 3:00 PM) can also be manageable. Avoid peak hours: 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium. While daytime travel is generally safe, evening and night journeys (especially after 8:00 PM) carry higher risks due to 'one-chance' syndicates and pickpockets. Always be alert, avoid isolated bus stops, and keep your belongings secure.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for the initial part of the journey from Ojota towards Ikeja. There is no rail service available for this specific intracity route.
