Travelling from Ibadan
Ibadan’s scheduled network points east and north, and almost never west. The journey most people expect to find here — the short run down to Lagos — is the one the national operators do not timetable at all. That corridor runs on informal minibuses that post no fares and take no bookings, which is why it is absent from an index built on scheduled services. What is timetabled from Ibadan is the long haul: the southeast, the south-south and the FCT.
How the terminals are laid out
The index records one boarding point per operator in Ibadan, so the choice here is between carriers rather than between neighbourhoods.
Practical advice
Most destinations out of Ibadan are posted by a single operator, so there is rarely a second service later the same day. Book the long eastbound runs ahead rather than turning up.
