From Ojota Underbridge, board a 'Danfo' bus heading towards 'Mile 2'. Make sure the bus clearly states 'Mile 2' on its signboard.
Alight at Mile 2 bus stop. From there, look for 'Danfo' buses or 'Keke Napep' (tricycles) going into Amuwo Odofin/Festac. Tell the conductor or driver '7th Avenue'.
Once you turn onto 7th Avenue, you can alight at your specific destination or take another short 'Keke Napep' or 'Okada' (motorcycle taxi, if available and allowed) for inner street navigation.
To save money, look for 'short-trip' buses that cover shorter segments if direct buses are scarce or more expensive.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded buses and at bus stops like Oshodi and Mile 2.
LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and VIO (Vehicle Inspection Officers) are often present around Ojota, Maryland, and Oshodi. Their activities can sometimes cause sudden traffic or vehicle checks.
With typical Lagos traffic, the journey can take anywhere from 1 hour to 2.5 hours, especially during peak periods (morning and evening rush hours).
It is generally not advisable to travel late at night (after 9 PM) using public transport on this route due to increased safety risks like 'one-chance' incidents. If you must travel, stick to well-lit, busy bus stops and consider using reputable private hire services if public transport is scarce.
While ride-hailing apps like Bolt or Uber are available in Lagos, this guide focuses on public transport options for travelers seeking budget-friendly or local commuting experiences. Ride-hailing will be significantly more expensive.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM on weekdays to avoid peak hour traffic. Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) are also generally faster. Avoid 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, evening travel requires extra caution. Be aware of pickpockets in crowded bus stops like Ojota, Oshodi, and Mile 2. 'One-chance' syndicates operate, especially at night; avoid boarding vehicles with only a driver and one or two passengers. Stick to known, busy bus stops.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant portion of this route, especially from Ojota along Ikorodu Road towards Oshodi. There is no direct train service to Amuwo Odofin; the Lagos Blue Line rail is still under construction for full connectivity.
