Best Departure Points (Parks/Terminals)

• Fagba Bus Stop: Located at a busy intersection, Fagba offers routes to Agege, Iju, Ogba, and also connects to areas like Abule Egba and Alagbado.
• Ogba Bus Stop (closer to Ijaiye): While the main Ogba terminal is in Ikeja LGA, buses from the Ijaiye axis of Ifako-Ijaiye will often pass through or terminate at various points within Ogba, offering connections to Berger, Ojota, and other parts of Lagos.

Always look for the designated bus stops or 'loading' points where commercial buses (Danfos) and tricycles (Keke NAPEP) usually gather. Avoid flagging down vehicles in undesignated areas for safety and to ensure you get a fair fare.
