Where is Trade Fair Bus Stop Located? Your Ultimate Lagos Transport Guide

From CMS/Marina (Lagos Island)

If you're coming from the heart of Lagos Island, CMS (Central Business District) and Marina are your main departure points:

• BRT Buses: Take a BRT bus from CMS directly to Mile 2. From Mile 2, you can easily find buses or "danfos" going towards Trade Fair.
• Yellow Buses (Danfo): From CMS, take a yellow bus heading to Mile 2. Once at Mile 2, board another yellow bus or minibus going towards Badagry or Iyana-Iba and tell the driver or conductor you're dropping at Trade Fair.

From Mile 2

Mile 2 is perhaps the most direct connection point to Trade Fair, given its proximity on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway:

• BRT Buses: Several BRT routes pass through Mile 2 towards the Badagry axis. Any BRT bus heading towards Iyana-Iba, Ojo Barracks, or Badagry will pass by Trade Fair.
• Yellow Buses (Danfo): At Mile 2, you'll find numerous yellow buses and minibuses specifically calling "Trade Fair," "Alaba," "Iyana-Iba," or "Badagry." These are your quickest options.

From Iyana-Ipaja

From Iyana-Ipaja, you'll typically need to connect through Oshodi or direct to Mile 2:

• Via Oshodi: Take a direct yellow bus from Iyana-Ipaja to Oshodi. From Oshodi, follow the instructions above.
• Via Egbeda/Agege to Mile 2: Some routes might take you through Agege to connect to the Badagry Expressway, though this is less common for Trade Fair. The Oshodi route is generally more straightforward.
