Walk to the designated Oshodi Under-bridge motor park or the main terminal park area.
Locate and board a yellow commercial Danfo bus going directly to Costain or Oyingbo.
Ensure the conductor confirms they are going past Ojuelegba and taking the straight flyover or service lane towards National Stadium.
Stay alert and tell the conductor you will drop at Costain Bus Stop right before the main roundabout.
Always enter with smaller denominations of cash (change) to avoid severe arguments with commercial conductors.
Keep your mobile phones inside your pocket or bag completely when sitting near the bus windows.
There is no singular, dedicated direct BRT lane starting from Oshodi terminal that stops exclusively inside Costain. However, you can use regular standard large capacity commercial buses that navigate the main highways smoothly.
Due to fuel pricing shifts, always hold an extra ₦500 to ₦1,000 above the estimated upper range to ensure you do not get stranded during abrupt changes.
The main Costain bus stop area can become lonely and dark after 9:00 PM. It is highly advised to finish your commute earlier or use an active, well-lit ride-hailing alternative if traveling late.
This is common when drivers want to escape bad gridlock. Calmly confirm from the conductor where the new final drop stop will be, and follow other passengers to get a quick connecting Keke or mini-bus to complete your journey.
