Walk to the main highway outside the Trade Fair complex and stand at the bus stop to board a short-distance yellow commercial bus (Danfo) heading down towards Iyana-Iba.
Drop at Iyana-Iba bus stop, cross over the pedestrian bridge safely to avoid fast-moving vehicles, and walk into the garage or packing lot to find a direct bus going to Igando.
Get off the bus at Igando bus stop, walk past the terminal area, and board another direct connecting Danfo or a large tricycle (Keke) heading straight down to Egbeda.
Stay on the vehicle until you arrive at your final drop-off point at the central terminal hub in Egbeda.
Always hold your small change (change money) in your hand before boarding to avoid unnecessary delay or arguments with bus conductors.
Keep your smartphones and wallets inside your main zipped bag when walking through the crowded space at Iyana-Iba.
If you notice conductors shouting an unusually high price at Iyana-Iba, walk a few meters ahead to see if you can catch a passing bus for cheaper.
Be ready to enter another vehicle quickly if your driver decides to cut the journey short or 'drop' passengers before the final destination due to traffic updates.

Areas Affected
Badagry Expressway
The fastest public option is taking a short Danfo to Iyana-Iba, and then immediately finding an express bus that routes directly through the newly paved sections of the Lasu-Iba road down to Igando before connecting onward to Egbeda.
Due to current fuel pricing and transport fare inflation in Lagos, it is highly recommended to have at least ₦3,500 in cash for a round trip using commercial buses, or about ₦12,000 if you plan to use private ride-hailing apps one way.
It is safer to finish your trip before 8:30 PM. Major stops like Iyana-Iba and Igando get very dark and isolated later in the night, making commuters easy targets for pickpockets and roadside boys (area boys).
No, tricycles do not run the full distance from Trade Fair to Egbeda because of government boundary rules. They only operate short internal shuttle trips, such as moving passengers from Igando bus stop down to Egbeda Under-bridge.
