From Ojuelegba, walk to the nearest BRT bus stop. You can find one directly under the Ojuelegba bridge or at the Stadium Bus Stop.
Board a BRT bus that is clearly marked 'Ikorodu' or 'Iyana-Ikorodu'.
Alight at the final BRT stop, which is Ikorodu Roundabout (also known as 'Iyana-Ikorodu'). This is a major transport hub.
From Ikorodu Roundabout, look for smaller yellow buses (Danfo) or shuttle buses heading specifically to Imota. Ask 'Imota, Imota?' to confirm the destination.
Board the Imota-bound bus and alight at your specific destination within Imota town.
BRT buses offer a more structured and often faster experience due to dedicated lanes, especially on Ikorodu Road.
Consider buying a BRT Cowry card if you plan multiple trips; it's more convenient than cash.
Always confirm the fare with the driver or conductor before boarding the Danfo from Ikorodu Roundabout to Imota.
Keep your personal belongings secure, particularly in crowded buses and bus stops.
Traveling at night on this route, especially after 7:00 PM, carries increased risks. It's best to complete your journey during daylight hours. If you must travel at night, use well-lit and busy bus stops, and be wary of 'one-chance' vehicles.
Direct buses are extremely rare or non-existent. The standard and most reliable method involves taking a bus to Ikorodu Roundabout first, and then transferring to a local shuttle or Danfo that specifically goes to Imota.
The total cost typically ranges from ₦700 to ₦1,400. This depends on whether you use BRT or regular Danfo, traffic conditions, and current fuel prices, as well as the number of transfers.
Key bus stops and landmarks include Ojuelegba, Fadeyi, Jibowu, Palmgrove, Obanikoro, Ketu, Mile 12, Agric, Owode, and Ikorodu Roundabout (Iyana-Ikorodu) before you get to Imota.
While the ground truth travel time is 40 minutes, heavy Lagos traffic, especially on Ikorodu Road, can significantly extend this. During peak hours or in the rainy season, the journey can easily take 2 to 3 hours, or even more. Always factor in extra time.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid the worst of Lagos traffic, aim to travel very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or during the late morning (after 10:00 AM). Early afternoons (1:00 PM - 3:00 PM) can also offer lighter traffic. Avoid peak hours between 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM, as travel times can be significantly longer.
Safety Rating
Medium. Main roads are generally safe during the day. However, 'one-chance' vehicles (unmarked public transport where passengers are robbed) are a known risk in Lagos, especially at night or when traveling through less busy areas. Always board vehicles at recognized bus stops and be cautious of strangers. It's advisable to travel during daylight hours.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) services are available for a significant portion of this route, specifically from Ojuelegba axis all the way to Ikorodu Roundabout. There is no train service directly connecting Ojuelegba to Imota.
