Moving from Okokomaiko to Boundary (Ajegunle) takes you from the far West of Lagos towards the major port and market zones. Because of ongoing road works and heavy truck traffic near the ports, you must plan your movement carefully to avoid getting stuck in terrible gridlock.

Walk or take a short Keke from your house to Okokomaiko bus stop on the main Lagos-Badagry Expressway.
Board a big yellow bus (Danfo) going directly to Mile 2. Ensure you have small change (legal tender notes) to avoid arguments with the conductor.
Cross over to the park or roadside where buses load for Ajegunle. Enter another Danfo or a Keke Marwa going straight to Boundary.
Stay on the bus as it moves past Wilmer and drops you final stop at the bustling Boundary market area.
Always ask the conductor 'Are you going to Boundary?' before you lift your leg to enter the vehicle.
Hold your money in your hand so you can pay easily and avoid sitting with change issues throughout the journey.
Keep your windows partially rolled up if you are sitting close to the side of the bus during slow traffic to prevent phone snatching.
If you are carrying heavy market load, talk to the driver to agree on the luggage price before they pack it into the boot.

Safety Rating
Medium - Watch your pockets and bags at major rush-hour bus stops like Iyana-Iba and Mile 2. Avoid showing expensive phones at night, especially when traffic slows down completely.
BRT / Rail / Water
The Lagos Blue Line Rail operates from Mile 2 down to Marina, but does not connect directly to Boundary. You can use the train to skip traffic if you are coming from farther down, but for this specific route, you will mostly rely on Danfo buses and Keke.

With current fuel inflation, you should hold at least ₦3,500 in physical cash for a round trip using Danfo, just to be safe in case prices surge due to sudden traffic or rain.
No, there is no direct blue BRT bus that goes straight from Okokomaiko to Boundary. You have to use the standard yellow Danfo buses or Keke to complete the journey.
Keep your phone inside your bag, don't hold it in your hand. Ensure your bag is zipped and held tightly to your chest. Do not patronize roadside hawkers if the environment looks dark and unsafe.
On Saturdays and Sundays, traffic is usually lighter, and fares might drop slightly by ₦100 or ₦200. However, Saturday evening traffic can still build up around the Boundary market area due to shoppers.
