From the Trade Fair Complex gate, walk towards the bus stop on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway. Look for commercial buses (Danfo) with 'Mile 2' written on them, or listen for conductors shouting 'Mile 2! Mile 2!'
Confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding the bus to Mile 2. Once seated, pay your fare. Be ready for a potentially crowded ride.
The journey to Mile 2 will take you through areas like Iyana-Iba and Alakija. Keep an eye out as you approach the major Mile 2 interchange, which is a significant transit hub.
Alight at Mile 2. Head towards the main bus park or the underbridge area where you'll find numerous buses heading to Oshodi. Listen for 'Oshodi! Oshodi!' shouts from conductors.
Board a commercial bus clearly marked 'Oshodi'. Confirm the destination and fare with the conductor before settling in. Pay your fare once comfortable.
The bus will take you along the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway, passing through popular points like Berger and Cele. Tell the conductor you're dropping at 'Oshodi Under Bridge' or the 'Oshodi Terminus', depending on your final stop within Oshodi.
Once you arrive at Oshodi, alight at your preferred spot – either the bustling Oshodi Under Bridge area for local connections or the more organized, modern Oshodi Transport Interchange for further transit and enhanced safety.
Bargaining is not common for official bus routes; always confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid disputes, especially if you're unfamiliar with the route.
Be highly mindful of your belongings in crowded buses and major bus stops like Mile 2 and Oshodi. Keep bags secured and valuables out of sight.
Traffic is a major factor; allow ample travel time, especially during peak hours (6-9 AM and 4-7 PM) when the estimated duration can significantly increase.
To minimize traffic, it's best to travel early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late evenings (after 8:00 PM) on weekdays. Mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) can also be manageable. Weekends generally offer lighter traffic conditions.
Yes, traveling by Danfo is generally considered safe for daily commuters. However, like any crowded urban transport system, it's crucial to be vigilant with your personal belongings. Stick to well-populated bus stops and avoid late-night travel if possible.
While commercial bus drivers generally stick to their established routes, ride-hailing apps often suggest optimized routes to bypass heavy traffic. Major diversions by Danfos are rare unless directed by traffic enforcement. In extreme gridlock, walking short distances to connect to another bus route might sometimes be faster.
