Board a bus that will take you through Herbert Macaulay Way (Yaba) and Western Avenue (Ojuelegba) towards Oshodi. If available, a BRT bus from Yaba offers a more comfortable ride with dedicated lanes.
Alight at Oshodi Under Bridge or the main Oshodi Terminus. This is a crucial transport hub for connecting to Ajao Estate.
From Oshodi, locate the bus park or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) stand for vehicles heading to Ajao Estate. Specifically, ask for Ajao Estate via Osolo Way or Asa Afariogun Street.
The bus or Keke will take you directly into Ajao Estate, along Osolo Way or Asa Afariogun Street, allowing you to alight at your specific destination within the estate.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy traffic, travel early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM). Evenings after 7:00 PM are also usually clearer, but consider personal safety when traveling late.
Safety Rating
Medium. Daytime travel is generally safe, but travelers should be vigilant. Be aware of pickpockets in crowded bus stops (like Oshodi) and 'one-chance' syndicates, especially if traveling alone or late at night. Always use established public transport and avoid isolated areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) services are available along major parts of Herbert Macaulay Way and Agege Motor Road, offering a potentially faster and more structured public transport option for segments of this route. There is no direct train service suitable for this short, local journey.
