How much is a bus ticket from Abuja to Ijebu Ode?
Fares on this corridor currently run between ₦46,000 and ₦55,000. The spread is not arbitrary — it tracks vehicle class far more closely than it tracks operator. A seat on a 14-seat Hiace and a seat on a luxury coach are different products sold on the same road, and the gap between them is usually larger than the gap between two operators selling the same class.

Operators schedule the Abuja–Ijebu Ode run at 10 hours, covering roughly 650km via Lokoja and the South West. The fastest scheduled service on the corridor is ABC Transport at 10 hours.

Ten hours scheduled. For anyone going to Ijebu Ode, Sagamu or the Ogun end of the Lagos corridor, getting off here avoids the slowest part of the whole journey: the approach into Lagos itself.
