Key Routes and Transport Modes

Travelers looking to access Ayobo will often pass through major hubs like Ikeja, Oshodi, or Abule Egba. From these points, you can easily find direct transport options.

Entering Ayobo

• From Oshodi: Look for direct buses heading to "Ayobo" or "Ipaja-Ayobo." These buses usually take the express road, passing through Dopemu, Iyana-Ipaja, and then to Ayobo.
• From Ikeja (Under Bridge/Along Computer Village): You can find buses going to "Iyana-Ipaja." From Iyana-Ipaja, you'll then take another bus or Keke Napep directly to "Ayobo." Some direct buses might also be available during peak hours.
• From Abule Egba: Buses and Keke Napep are readily available from Abule Egba going towards "Gate" or "Ayobo." This is a shorter route for those coming from the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway axis.

Moving Within Ayobo

Once you are in Ayobo, Keke Napep and Okada (in inner streets where allowed) are the most common ways to move around. They connect different parts of Ayobo, like Ayobo Market, Megida, and other residential areas.
