From Osborne Foreshore, take a Keke Napep or a short Danfo bus to Obalende Bus Stop.
At Obalende, board a BRT bus going to Oshodi. Look for the dedicated BRT lanes and terminals.
From Oshodi, find a Danfo bus heading to Ikotun. These buses usually load at the Oshodi Underbridge or directly from the main bus park.
At Ikotun, take a Keke Napep or a smaller mini-bus (Korope) directly to Abaranje.
Using BRT for the Obalende-Oshodi segment can significantly reduce travel time compared to regular Danfo buses, especially during peak hours.
Be aware of pickpockets at Oshodi Interchange; it's a very busy hub.
LASTMA and VIO officials are commonly seen around major junctions and bus stops like Obalende, CMS, Third Mainland Bridge exits, Oshodi, and Cele Express. They enforce traffic rules, so ensure your driver is compliant to avoid delays.
While ride-hailing apps like Bolt or Uber are available in Lagos, this guide focuses on public transport options. Using ride-hailing for such a long intracity trip can be significantly more expensive (₦8,000 - ₦15,000+) and traffic dependent.
It is generally advisable to complete this journey before 7:00 PM. Public transport options become scarce and less frequent at night, and safety risks, including 'one-chance' incidents, increase on less crowded routes.
To save money, always opt for the 'short-trip' Danfo buses if available for shorter segments instead of chartering. Also, avoid peak hours when fares tend to increase due to demand and traffic.
