Depart from Orile Road. Walk to the nearest Danfo bus stop along Orile Road or Agege Motor Road (e.g., Orile Agege Bus Stop).
Board a Danfo heading towards Pen Cinema. This bus will take you along Agege Motor Road.
From Pen Cinema, cross over and board another Danfo heading towards Ikeja Under Bridge or Computer Village. Inform the conductor you are going to Olowu Street or a nearby landmark in Ikeja.
The Danfo will likely take Oba Akran Avenue and then Obafemi Awolowo Way, dropping you near Olowu Street.
Always confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way.
Fares can fluctuate during peak hours or heavy traffic, so be prepared for slight variations.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses and bus stops.
While major roads are generally busy, it's advisable to avoid late-night travel if possible. If you must travel, use well-lit routes, stick to known public transport hubs, and avoid boarding empty vehicles or those without proper branding. Always prioritize your safety.
Direct Danfo buses are often available from major bus stops in Orile Agege that go straight to Ikeja Under Bridge or Computer Village. From these points, Olowu Street is a short walk or a quick Keke/Danfo ride away. Always ask the conductor if they go 'along' Olowu Street.
During peak hours, taking a BRT bus for the major part of the journey (from Agege Motor Road to Ikeja Under Bridge) is often the fastest due to their dedicated lanes. Alternatively, a Keke Napep might navigate through traffic more efficiently by using smaller roads, but it can be more expensive.

Medium. During the day, the route is generally safe as it passes through busy, well-populated areas. However, caution is advised for evening and night travel due to risks of 'one-chance' operations, especially if boarding buses from isolated spots or those that appear empty.
