Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From VGC, take a local commercial bus (Danfo) or a Keke Napep (tricycle) from inside VGC or near its gate to Ajah Bus Stop. This is the first major public transport hub outside VGC.
At Ajah Bus Stop, locate the BRT terminal. Purchase or top up your Cowry Card (required for BRT). Board a BRT bus heading towards CMS (Central Business District). This bus will take you through the Lekki-Epe Expressway, Ozumba Mbadiwe, and Eko Bridge towards CMS.
From CMS BRT Terminal, alight and look for another BRT bus heading towards Oshodi. These buses typically depart from the same general area or a nearby designated BRT stop. Ensure the destination board clearly indicates 'Oshodi'. This will take you through Funsho Williams Avenue (Western Avenue) directly to the Oshodi Transport Interchange.
Once you arrive at Oshodi Transport Interchange (Terminal 3), Oshodi Market is within walking distance. Follow signs or ask for directions to the market area, which is bustling and easily identifiable.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) on weekdays are ideal to avoid peak hour traffic. Mid-afternoons (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) can also be less congested. Avoid traveling during typical rush hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) as journey times can more than double.
Safety Rating
Medium. While the route is within the city, travelers should be aware of 'one-chance' syndicates, especially when boarding unbranded commercial buses (Danfos) from isolated stops late at night. Pickpocketing is common in crowded areas like Oshodi Market. BRT buses are generally safer due to their regulated nature. Always be alert and keep your belongings secure.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a primary and highly recommended public transport option for a significant portion of this route, offering dedicated lanes and fixed fares. There is no direct train service connecting VGC to Oshodi Market.
