From your exact location in Victoria Island, locate a major bus stop along Ahmadu Bello Way or Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue. Board a yellow commercial bus (Danfo) clearly marked 'CMS' or 'Obalende'. Confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding.
Alight at the CMS Bus Terminal. This is a major interchange. Be attentive to the conductor's call and disembark promptly.
Once at CMS, locate the designated loading bay for buses heading towards 'Mile 2' or 'Badagry'. You might need to ask locals or follow the shouts of conductors calling out destinations.
Board a commercial bus heading to 'Mile 2'. These buses are usually direct from CMS. Tell the conductor you're going to Mile 2.
The bus will take you directly through Eko Bridge, Costain, and Funsho Williams Avenue (Western Avenue) before joining the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway. You will eventually get to Mile 2. Alight at the final stop, usually 'Mile 2 Under Bridge' or 'Mile 2 Last Bus Stop'.
From Mile 2 Under Bridge, you can easily connect to various parts of Mile 2 or onward to Festac Town or the Badagry Expressway.
Always confirm the fare with the conductor before handing over money, and ensure you receive your change immediately. Fares can fluctuate based on time of day and traffic.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops and while boarding/alighting. Keep your phone and wallet secure.
Travel early in the morning (before 6:30 AM) or late in the evening (after 7:00 PM) to avoid the notorious Lagos rush hour traffic, which can significantly extend your journey time.
To avoid the heaviest traffic, it's best to travel very early in the morning (before 6:30 AM) or late in the evening (after 7:00 PM). Mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) can also be less congested than peak hours, but traffic is generally unpredictable in Lagos.
Yes, Danfos are generally safe for daily commuting, but like any public transport in a major city, it's crucial to be aware of your surroundings, secure your belongings, and avoid displaying valuables. Stick to busy bus stops and well-lit areas, especially when traveling at night.
No, commercial Danfo buses in Lagos primarily operate on a cash-only basis. Always ensure you have sufficient small denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500 notes) to pay your fare. Ride-hailing services, however, accept card payments through their apps.
