Lagos Getting there & around

Getting around

Arriving in Lagos can be complicated and you may be dropped at one of several motor parks – Oshodi, Yaba and Oju Elegba Junction are the likeliest candidates. Minibuses run from these to more central points, such as Obalende Motor Park on Lagos Island.

Minibuses (fares N30 to N200 according to distance) serve points all over Lagos – prices increase when you cross a bridge from one part of Lagos to another, but you’ll have a job working out the routes unless you stay here for some time. Yellow private taxis start from N200. For short distances, okadas (motorcycle taxis) are a better bet; a medium-length trip shouldn’t top N100. If you’re in a go-slow, an okada may be the only way out.
