This is a very common route for many coming from the Alimosho axis:

1. **Ijegun to Ikotun:** From Ijegun, you'll typically take a Keke Napep (tricycle) or a local mini-bus (Danfo) to Ikotun Roundabout or Ikotun Market.
2. **Ikotun to Egbeda/Agege:** From Ikotun, you'll board another Danfo heading towards Egbeda or directly to Agege. This route passes through busy areas like Igando.
3. **Egbeda/Agege to Ikeja:** Once you get to Egbeda or Agege (e.g., Pen Cinema), you can find direct buses going to Ikeja Under Bridge, Computer Village, or other specific destinations within Ikeja.

Route 2: Via Ejigbo - Oshodi - Maryland

This route is an alternative, especially if traffic is heavy on the Ikotun axis:

1. **Ijegun to Ejigbo:** Take a Keke Napep or Danfo from Ijegun to Ejigbo.
2. **Ejigbo to Oshodi:** From Ejigbo, you can get a direct bus to Oshodi. Oshodi is a major transport interchange.
3. **Oshodi to Ikeja (Maryland/Under Bridge):** At Oshodi, you'll find numerous buses heading towards Ikeja. You can drop at Maryland, which is very close to Ikeja, or directly at Ikeja Under Bridge or Computer Village. This route might involve passing through areas like Isolo or Okota before reaching Oshodi.

Both routes involve multiple drops and boarding new vehicles, which is typical for long-distance intra-city travel in Lagos. Ride-hailing services like Uber or Bolt offer a more direct, but often more expensive, option.

Safety and Travel Tips for Your Journey

Traveling in Lagos requires a bit of street smarts. Here are some tips to make your journey smoother and safer:

• **Plan Ahead:** Always check the time of day. Traveling during peak hours (6 AM - 9 AM and 4 PM - 8 PM on weekdays) will significantly increase your travel time.
• **Confirm Fares:** Before boarding any public transport, always ask the conductor for the fare to your destination to avoid disputes.
• **Be Aware of Your Surroundings:** Keep an eye on your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops and buses.
• **Use Reputable Transport:** Stick to recognized bus stops and well-marked vehicles. For ride-hailing, confirm the driver and vehicle details match your app.
• **Keep Your Phone Charged:** A charged phone is crucial for navigation, communication, and emergencies.
• **Carry Small Denominations:** Conductors often claim not to have change for large notes.
