Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Step 1: Get to the CMS BRT Terminal. From Onikan, you can take a short 'Danfo' (yellow mini-bus) or a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) to CMS (Costain/Marina route). Alternatively, it's a walkable distance for some if you are closer to Marina.
Step 2: Board a BRT bus going to Mile 2. Look for buses clearly marked 'Mile 2'. Ensure you have a BRT card or purchase a ticket at the terminal. BRT buses offer a more comfortable and structured journey.
Step 3: From Mile 2, take a 'Danfo' or a shared 'mini-bus' heading towards Badagry. You will find numerous vehicles at the Mile 2 motor park (under the bridge or nearby designated loading points) going along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway. Confirm with the conductor that they are going to 'Oto Awori' or 'Badagry' and will stop at Oto Awori.
Step 4: Alight at Oto Awori. The conductor will usually call out the stops. Be prepared to alight quickly as buses rarely stop for long.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late evenings (after 8:00 PM) are best to avoid the worst of Lagos's notorious traffic, especially on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway. Mid-day travel can be unpredictable but generally better than peak hours.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos roads can be busy and chaotic. Always be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded bus parks and during transfers. 'One-chance' incidents are rare on well-plied routes but vigilance is advised. Avoid displaying valuables openly.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant portion of this journey, particularly from CMS/TBS to Mile 2. There is no direct rail service connecting Onikan to Oto Awori.
