How much is a bus ticket from Benin City to Asaba?
Fares on this corridor currently run between ₦9,000 and ₦13,750. 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.

How long does the journey take?
Operators schedule the Benin City–Asaba run at 2h 30m, covering roughly 140km via Agbor. The fastest scheduled service on the corridor is GIGM at 2h 30m. Treat all of these as timetable figures rather than promises: they assume a clean run, and they do not include the time it takes to clear the city at either end.
East through Agbor to Asaba, on the western bank of the Niger. Because Asaba is short of the bridge, this run avoids the crossing that slows so many other corridors.
