Detailed Route and Area Breakdown: Getting to Iba

Getting to Iba, especially from major transport hubs in Lagos, is quite straightforward, thanks to the extensive network of commercial buses (Danfo) and tricycles (Keke Marwa). Here’s how you can typically get there:

From Oshodi to Iba

Oshodi is one of Lagos's biggest transport hubs. To get to Iba from Oshodi:

1. **Enter a bus heading to Mile 2:** At Oshodi Under Bridge or the new Oshodi Transport Interchange, look for buses going to Mile 2. This is the first major leg of your journey.

2. **Drop at Mile 2:** Once you get to Mile 2, you'll need to change buses.

3. **Enter a bus to Iyana Iba/LASU:** From Mile 2, you will find numerous commercial buses heading towards Badagry Expressway. Look for buses specifically going to Iyana Iba or LASU. Iyana Iba is the main junction leading into Iba, and LASU is right next door. You can drop at Iyana Iba and take a short Keke ride or walk into specific parts of Iba.

From Ikeja to Iba

Ikeja, the state capital, is another major starting point:

1. **Enter a bus to Igando/LASU-Igando Road:** From Ikeja Along or Computer Village area, you can find direct buses heading towards Igando. Some buses might even go directly to LASU. This route usually avoids the Badagry Expressway traffic for a while.

2. **Drop at Igando or LASU:** If you drop at Igando, you can easily find another Keke or bus heading towards Iba or LASU. If you get a direct bus to LASU, Iba is just a stone's throw away.

Alternatively, you could go from Ikeja to Mile 2 (via Oshodi or direct buses from Maryland/Ojota axis) and then follow the Mile 2 to Iba route described above.

From CMS/Marina to Iba

If you're coming from Lagos Island, specifically CMS or Marina:

1. **Enter a bus to Mile 2:** From CMS, take a bus directly to Mile 2. This is a common and straightforward route.

2. **Drop at Mile 2:** Just like from Oshodi, you'll alight at Mile 2.

3. **Enter a bus to Iyana Iba/LASU:** From Mile 2, board a bus going towards Iyana Iba or LASU on the Badagry Expressway. You can drop at Iyana Iba and proceed into Iba.
