Locate the Oshodi Under Bridge bus park. Ask for buses heading towards 'Mile 2' or 'Apapa.' Confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding to ensure you're on the right route.
Pay your fare and alight at the Mile 2 bus stop. This is a very busy interchange, so be vigilant and mindful of your belongings in this area.
From where you alight, navigate to the other side of the Mile 2 Expressway where buses depart for Ojo/Badagry. You can use the pedestrian bridge or look for a safe crossing point. Ask locals for directions to the 'Ojo/Badagry park' if unsure.
At the Ojo/Badagry bound park, look for buses (Danfo) with 'Iyana Iba,' 'Ojo Barracks,' or 'Badagry' written on them. Confirm with the conductor that they will drop you directly at 'Alaba International Market' before boarding.
Inform the conductor you're dropping at 'Alaba International Market.' The bus will typically drop you right at one of the main entrances or a major bus stop adjacent to the market.
Always confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding and paying to avoid going the wrong way, as buses ply multiple routes from major hubs.
Be prepared for significant traffic, especially on the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway and around Mile 2. Consider traveling during off-peak hours (mid-day) if possible.
Keep your belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings, especially at busy bus stops like Oshodi and Mile 2, which are hotspots for petty crime.
While major roads are generally lit, it's advisable to complete your journey before late evening, especially if using commercial buses (Danfo). Ride-hailing apps offer more security for night travel due to GPS tracking, driver identification, and trip sharing features.
The estimated duration of 40 minutes is ideal, but with Lagos' notorious traffic, especially on the Oshodi-Apapa and Lagos-Badagry Expressways, it can easily extend to 1.5 to 2.5 hours during peak periods (mornings, evenings, market closing times). Always budget ample extra time.
Absolutely. Try to avoid rush hours, typically from 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM on weekdays. Also, market closing times for Alaba International can cause particularly heavy congestion around the Ojo axis. Saturdays can also be busy due to market activity.
