Compiling Route Details...
Moving from Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) on Lagos Island to Iyana Ipaja in Alimosho is a major cross-city journey. Because of fuel price hikes, fares change quickly. The trip takes you from the Island, across the lagoon, and deep into the mainland through heavy traffic zones like Oshodi and Ikeja Along. While it is a long distance, it is heavily serviced by commercial buses (Danfos), making it easy to find a ride at any time of day.
Distance
29.0 km
Duration
1h 30m
Total Cost
₦1,500 - ₦2,500
Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Walk from the main TBS complex to the outer bus park or CMS under-bridge to find big commercial buses going directly to Iyana Ipaja.
Board the direct Danfo or commercial bus marked 'Iyana Ipaja Express'. Ensure you enter with smaller cash notes to avoid 'change' issues with conductors.
Sit back as the bus drives through Eko Bridge, Funsho Williams Avenue, Oshodi, and Ikeja Along without stopping to drop passengers early.
Alight at your final stop at Iyana Ipaja Under-bridge or the main garage. Be careful of your pockets as you drop from the bus.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the worst traffic, travel between 10:00 AM and 2:30 PM (off-peak). If you must travel during morning peak hours (6:30 AM to 9:00 AM), expect delays around Costain and Ojuelegba. If you are traveling in the evening peak hours (4:30 PM to 8:30 PM), prepare for heavy gridlock from Oshodi all the way to Iyana Ipaja.
Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally safe during the day, but you must stay alert at night. Watch out for pickpockets and phone snatchers at crowded bus stops like Oshodi, Ikeja Along, and Iyana Ipaja Under-bridge. Never display your phone or cash openly in these areas, especially when boarding a moving bus. Avoid late-night movements after 9:00 PM if you can.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT bus or Train service that goes straight from TBS to Iyana Ipaja. However, you can take a standard Danfo or a Lagride/Uber. Alternatively, you can use the Blue Line Rail from Marina (near TBS) to Mile 2, then connect to Iyana Ipaja via commercial buses, though the standard road route through Oshodi remains the most direct choice for commuters.
