Walk to the main Oyingbo Bus Stop near the market and look for a yellow Danfo bus going directly to Ikeja or Yaba.
If you cannot find a direct bus to Ikeja, board a short drop Danfo to Yaba Bus Stop. Drop at Yaba and walk towards the rail crossing or the main garage.
From Yaba Bus Stop, enter another Danfo heading straight to Ikeja Under-Bridge. This bus will move along Ikorodu Road through Fadeyi, Onipanu, and Maryland.
At Ikeja Under-Bridge, look for a small bus (Korope) or a Keke Marwa going into Alausa Secretariat or drop at Shoprite.
Always hold small change ('change' or lower naira notes) to avoid fights with conductors who do not have balance.
Listen carefully to the conductor when they call the destination to ensure you do not enter a bus going to Ojota by mistake.
Keep your bag in front of you and do not show your phone while standing at busy bus stops.
Ask passengers next to you for the exact fare before the conductor starts collecting money so you do not get cheated.
Because of recent fuel price increases, if you use regular public Danfo buses, the total cost will range from ₦1,200 to ₦1,800. If you decide to use ride-hailing apps like Bolt or Uber, it will cost between ₦4,500 and ₦7,500 depending on the traffic density and time of day.
No, you will rarely find a direct yellow Danfo bus going straight from Oyingbo to Alausa. You will almost always have to take a bus to a major middle point like Yaba, Maryland, or Ikeja Under-Bridge, and then catch another short-drop bus or Keke that goes directly into the Alausa Secretariat.
Yes! You can use the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (Red Line). You can board the train from the Oyingbo station and drop at the Ikeja station. From the Ikeja station, you can easily take a short Keke or a Korope bus straight into Alausa, which helps you save a lot of time spent in road traffic.
Stay very alert. If you are inside a Danfo, make sure your phone is hidden inside your bag or deep in your pocket. Do not hold it near the open window where 'one-chance' operators or traffic robbers can easily grab it. Keep your bags zipped up tight.

Safety Rating
Medium - Be very careful with your phones and wallets at Oyingbo Market, Yaba Bus Stop, and Ikeja Under-Bridge, especially early in the morning and late at night. Pickpockets operate heavily in these crowded areas. Keep your car windows wound up in slow traffic.
