Moving from Victoria Garden City (VGC) on the Island to Amuwo Odofin on the Mainland means crossing Lagos from east to west. Because of the long distance and heavy traffic, you can take different routes using commercial buses (Danfo), BRT buses, or ride-hailing cars. This guide breaks down the easiest, cheapest, and most practical ways to complete this journey safely.
Distance
42.0 km
Duration
2h 30m

Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Walk or take a short Keke ride from your location inside VGC out to the VGC bus stop on the express.
Board a big yellow bus (Danfo) or a coaster bus going directly to Obalende or CMS. Stay on the bus through Lekki and cross the toll gate.
From Obalende or CMS, look for a Danfo heading straight to Mile 2. This bus will pass through Eko Bridge and move along the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.
Drop at Mile 2, cross the pedestrian bridge, and enter a short-trip Danfo or a Keke heading inside Amuwo Odofin (Festac side or Apple Junction).

Best Time to Travel
To beat the heavy morning rush hour traffic, leave VGC before 5:30 AM. If you miss this window, wait until 10:00 AM when the morning rush has reduced. For evening travel, try to leave before 4:00 PM or wait until after 8:30 PM to avoid getting stuck for hours on the road.
Safety Rating
Medium - Be very careful at night, especially around Obalende, Mile 2, and Iyana Isolo bus stops. Keep your phones and wallets inside your bags. Do not show off expensive items, and avoid entering unmarked commercial vehicles (popularly called 'One Chance'). Always stay alert in crowded spaces.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or train line from VGC to Amuwo Odofin. However, you can use the Blue Line Rail from Marina/CMS to Mile 2, which covers a large part of the Mainland leg of this journey very quickly. Blue BRT buses are also available from Obalende/CMS heading towards Oshodi and Mile 2.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
