Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Osborne Foreshore, take a Keke Napep or a short-trip Danfo bus heading towards Falomo or Obalende. Confirm destination before boarding.
At Obalende, look for a Danfo bus going to Ojota or Maryland. This bus will take you across the Third Mainland Bridge and along Ikorodu Road.
From Maryland or Ojota, find another Danfo bus heading to Ikeja Underbridge or specifically 'Alausa'. Many buses from Ikorodu Road go towards Ikeja.
At Alausa Bus Stop (on Obafemi Awolowo Way), you can either walk the short distance to Secretariat Road or take a final Keke Napep/short-trip Danfo if available, depending on your exact destination on Secretariat Road.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) and mid-afternoons (between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's peak hour traffic. Traveling after 7:00 PM is generally lighter traffic-wise but comes with increased safety risks.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos public transport can be safe, but 'one-chance' syndicates operate, especially in less crowded buses or at night. Always be alert, avoid empty buses, and use designated bus stops. Pickpocketing is common in crowded areas and buses.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT buses are available for a significant portion of this route, specifically from CMS/Obalende to Maryland. There is currently no active passenger rail service covering this specific intra-city route.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
