From Mainland Lagos (Oshodi, Ikeja, Mile 12, Ketu)

The Lagos Mainland offers several departure points to Ibeshe, mostly via Ikorodu Road.

• From Oshodi: At the Oshodi Terminal, look for buses going to "Ikorodu Garage." This is a major route, and buses are frequently available. The journey will take you through Mile 12 and Ketu.
• From Ikeja: From Ikeja Underbridge or the Ikeja Along bus stop, you can find buses heading towards "Ikorodu Garage." These buses will also pass through Mile 12 and Ketu.

Water Transport Option

For those who prefer to avoid road traffic or are coming from certain parts of Lagos Island (like Ebute Ero or Five Cowries Terminal), water transport can be an alternative, though it might involve an extra step.

• You can take a commercial boat (ferry) from specific jetties on Lagos Island to Ikorodu jetties (like Ebute Ipakodo or Ajegunle Jetty).
• From the Ikorodu jetty, you would then take a Keke Napep or a local taxi to Ikorodu Garage, and then another Keke/bus into Ibeshe. This option is often faster during peak traffic hours but might be slightly more expensive.
