Depart from Shasha. Go to the nearest major motor park (e.g., associated with ABC Transport, God is Good Motors, or other local operators) that has buses heading to Lagos.
Take an interstate bus from Shasha directly to Berger Bus Stop in Lagos. This will involve traveling via Benin-Sagamu Expressway, Abeokuta-Sagamu Expressway, and Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
From Berger Bus Stop, cross the road to the BRT terminal or find a 'straight' Danfo (yellow mini-bus) heading towards Ojota.
At Ojota, alight and locate Danfo buses heading towards Obalende. These buses often pass through the Third Axial Road.
From Obalende, you can take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or another short-trip Danfo directly into Ikoyi, specifically towards Ikoyi Club Road or your final destination.
Arrive at your destination in Ikoyi.
Always confirm your bus destination before boarding, especially at busy parks.
For the local Lagos legs, consider using BRT where available as it can be more structured and sometimes faster than regular Danfos.
To save time, try to get a 'straight' bus that doesn't stop too often. You might pay a little extra for this.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded bus stops like Berger and Ojota.
While the ideal driving time is 115 minutes, with public transport and considering potential traffic, expect the journey to take anywhere from 3 to 5 hours, especially during peak periods or if there are delays at bus stops.
Yes, there are several popular rest stops and food vendors along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, particularly around the Shagamu Interchange and the Mowe/Ibafo axis. Most interstate buses will make at least one brief stop.
It is generally advisable to avoid night travel on the expressways due to reduced visibility and potential security concerns. If you must travel at night, use a reputable interstate bus company or a trusted charter service.
While ride-hailing apps like Bolt or Uber operate in Lagos, finding a driver willing to do the full Shasha to Ikoyi interstate trip might be challenging and very expensive. This guide focuses on traditional public transport options for cost-effectiveness and accessibility.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy traffic, plan to depart Shasha very early in the morning (e.g., 5:00 AM - 6:00 AM) or mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) on weekdays. Avoid traveling on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons, as these are peak travel times for people entering and exiting Lagos.
Safety Rating
Medium. The main expressways are generally safe during the day. However, evening and night travel on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway carries a 'medium' risk due to poor lighting in some sections and occasional reports of 'one-chance' operations if you stop in isolated areas or accept lifts from unknown vehicles. Within Lagos, crowded bus stops can be hotspots for pickpockets. Always be alert.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for the intra-Lagos portion of your journey, specifically from Berger/Ojota towards CMS/Obalende, offering a more structured and sometimes faster option. The Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge train operates from Ibadan to Ebute Metta (Lagos). While Shasha may not be directly on the train route, if you can easily access the Ibadan train station, this could be an alternative for the long-distance leg before connecting to Ikoyi via local transport.
