Walk or enter a short-drop Keke from the Tin Can Port gate to Mile 2 bus stop.
Board a direct yellow Danfo bus going to Oshodi and follow the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.
Drop at Oshodi and cross over the pedestrian bridge to enter another Danfo heading towards Mile 12 or Ketu.
Stay on the bus past Ojota, then highlight and drop at Ketu Bus Stop.
Always look for conductor holding 'change' before entering so you do not get stuck sharing money with a stranger.
Keep your small money or 'change' handy in your pocket separate from your main wallet to pay the conductor quickly.

Ask regular passengers inside the bus to confirm the final drop stop if you are unsure of the terrain.
