• **Step 1: Head to a Major Park.** From wherever you are in Ikeja, make your way to a major bus stop like "Ikeja Underbridge" or "Pen Cinema."
• **Step 2: Board a Bus to Iyana-Ipaja.** Look for buses (known as "Danfo") or minibuses heading to "Iyana-Ipaja." This is a major interchange.
• **Step 3: Connect to Araromi.** Once you drop at Iyana-Ipaja, you can easily find smaller buses, Keke Napep (tricycles), or even motorcycles (Okada, where permitted) that go directly into the Araromi community. Just ask for "Araromi" from Iyana-Ipaja.

From Oshodi (Terminals 1, 2, 3)

Oshodi is another massive transport hub. Getting to Araromi from Oshodi is also convenient.

• **Step 1: Locate the Right Terminal.** From any of the Oshodi terminals (especially the new Oshodi Transport Interchange), look for vehicles going towards "Iyana-Ipaja."
• **Step 2: Board a Bus to Iyana-Ipaja.** You'll find plenty of Danfo buses or BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) feeder buses that can take you to Iyana-Ipaja.
• **Step 3: Connect to Araromi.** Similar to the route from Ikeja, once you alight at Iyana-Ipaja, you can take a Keke Napep or a smaller bus directly into Araromi.

From CMS/Marina

If you're coming from Lagos Island (CMS, Marina, or Broad Street), the journey is a bit longer but still manageable.

• **Step 1: Find a Bus to Oshodi or Ikeja.** From CMS or Marina, take a bus heading towards "Oshodi" or "Ikeja." Oshodi is often a faster route.
