Moving from Shomolu to Volkswagen (located along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway) requires traveling from the Mainland towards the West district of Lagos. Since there is no single direct commercial bus from Shomolu to Volkswagen, commuters must break the journey into strategic connection points. The most reliable path goes through Fadeyi or Ojuelegba, down to Mile 2, and then straight to Volkswagen. This guide outlines the most practical, safe, and cost-effective ways to navigate this long-distance Lagos commute using everyday public transport.
Distance
32.0 km
Duration
1h 50m

Best Time to Travel
To beat the heavy morning rush, try to leave Shomolu between 6:00 AM and 6:30 AM. If you miss this window, it is better to wait until 10:00 AM when the traffic reduces. For evening travel, avoid the Mile 2 area between 5:30 PM and 8:00 PM if you want a fast trip.
Safety Rating
Medium - Be very careful with your phones and wallets at Mile 2, especially in the early mornings and late evenings. Avoid counting cash in the open, and watch out for pickpockets at crowded bus parks.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, partial availability. You can use the BRT bus from Fadeyi or Palmgrove down to Costain or Mile 2. Also, the Lagos Blue Line Rail is fully operational from National Theatre/Alaba down to Mile 2, which helps you skip a massive part of the road traffic.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
