From the Mainland (e.g., Oshodi, Ikeja, Yaba, Agege)

If you're coming from central or northern mainland areas, the most common approach is via the **Apapa-Oshodi Expressway**. This major highway leads directly towards the Apapa/Tincan Island axis, with Ajegunle branching off at key points.

• **From Oshodi:** Enter a bus heading to "Mile 2" or "Apapa." From Mile 2, you can easily find buses or Keke Napep (tricycles) going directly into Ajegunle (e.g., to Boundary, Wilmer, Bale, or Kirikiri Road).
• **From Ikeja/Agege:** You would typically head towards Oshodi first, then follow the route described above. Alternatively, some routes might take you through Costain/Surulere towards Apapa.
• **From Yaba/Costain:** Take a bus heading towards "Apapa." Many buses from Costain pass through the Apapa area, from where you can connect to Ajegunle.

From the Island (e.g., Victoria Island, Lekki, CMS, Obalende)

Traveling from Lagos Island to Ajegunle involves crossing one of the major bridges connecting the Island to the Mainland (Eko Bridge or Carter Bridge). Your destination will usually be Apapa, from where Ajegunle is a short distance away.

• **From CMS/Marina/Obalende:** Look for buses specifically going to "Apapa." Once you drop at Apapa (e.g., Apapa Wharf or Liverpool), you can take another bus or Keke Napep into Ajegunle.
• **From Victoria Island/Lekki:** You would first need to get to CMS/Obalende. From there, follow the instructions above. This route typically involves a longer journey due to traffic and distance.
