Best Time to Travel

Locate the nearest park within Satellite Town and enter a tricycle (Keke) heading out towards the main road.
Drop at Alakija Bus Stop along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway and safely walk to the commercial bus loading point.
Board a commercial yellow bus (Danfo) or a mini-bus (Korope) heading towards Mile 2 or Festac, and tell the conductor you will drop at Maza Maza.
Alight from the vehicle at the Maza Maza bus stop just before the main bridge.
Always hold your smaller denomination notes ('change') in your hand before boarding to avoid fierce arguments with the Danfo conductor.
Secure your bags and zip them properly before stepping out at Alakija or Maza Maza under-bridge.
Check the vehicle body and tires before entering, as many local drivers operate rickety buses that frequently break down in traffic.
If you are traveling with heavy luggage, prepare to pay an extra negotiable cargo fee to the loaders at the bus park.

Areas Affected
Old Ojo Road
Due to recent fuel price hikes and transport inflation, a public trip using Keke and Danfo will cost you between ₦800 and ₦1,500 depending on traffic conditions and the time of day. A private ride-hailing car will cost between ₦3,500 and ₦6,000.
There is no direct BRT or train line inside Satellite Town. However, the Lagos Blue Rail Line runs along the nearby Lagos-Badagry Expressway with a major station at Mile 2, which is just a few minutes away from Maza Maza.
The safest time to travel is during broad daylight, specifically between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Early morning runs before 6:00 AM or late night travels after 8:00 PM carry a much higher risk of encountering traffic robbers and pickpockets.
Do not panic. Calmly collect your balance fare from the bus conductor, step out onto a safe sidewalk away from moving traffic, and look for the next available bus or Keke heading towards Mile 2 or Maza Maza to complete your journey.
