This guide helps you navigate from Oniru to Ikeja, two important areas. The journey covers about 24.3 km and, in ideal traffic, takes around 21 minutes. However, be prepared for longer travel times due to Lagos traffic. You'll pass through major roads like Ozumba Mbadiwe, Carter Bridge, Herbert Macaulay Way, and Obafemi Awolowo Way. We'll show you the best public transport options to get there safely and affordably.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy traffic, travel between 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM or 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM on weekdays. Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) and late evenings (after 8:00 PM) are also less congested. Weekends generally have lighter traffic, but major events can cause unexpected delays.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, evening travel requires caution. 'One-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed by criminals posing as public transport operators) can occur, especially late at night on less busy routes. Always choose busy public transport and avoid empty vehicles. Be mindful of your belongings in crowded areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a very good option for the major part of this journey, especially from CMS/Marina to Ikeja. The new Lagos Red Line train also offers a direct route from Oyingbo to Ikeja, providing a faster alternative to road transport for that segment.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
