From Ojota Bus Stop, look for a yellow 'Danfo' bus heading towards 'Fadeyi', 'Yaba', or 'Oshodi'. These buses will take the Ikorodu Road route.
Alight at 'Palmgrove Bus Stop' or 'Onipanu Bus Stop' along Ikorodu Road. From there, cross the road or navigate to the side where you can find buses or 'keke Napep' (tricycles) going to Bariga.

Stick to established public transport like BRT or busy Danfo routes. Be cautious of 'one-chance' vehicles (unregistered shared taxis or buses with criminal intent); always board buses from designated bus stops with other passengers.
Peak hours are typically in the mornings, from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM, and in the evenings, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. During these times, expect significant delays on Ikorodu Road and around major bus stops.
