The money isn't the problem for me, but I become very agitated and uncomfortable in a car standstill for 5 minute talk of 10, spent over 3 hours from berger to egbeda my God the AC drained the fuel, in fact the fuel I used from Ilorin to Lagos was the same I used in the holdup... Lagosians I hail.

lekki to oshodi is never N500, it's about N200 to N250, Oshodi to Lekki is about N250 to N300 and not 5H, ajah to oshodi na 4H not 5H

It all depends on peak and off-peak period.
Do you know that on Sunday's oshodi to Ajah is 500 once it's around 6.30pm.Bus drivers are aware that most people leave for work to escape early morning Monday rush.
Sundays prices are hiked
Same for Monday prices
Tuesday prices are normal
Wednesday too
Thursday prices are hiked
Worst prices on Friday's especially return prices to the mainland.
It's normal prices on Saturday.

Op, no sane mushin resident go through oshodi to island. eyin eko, Idumota, cms is just #200 from mushin.
Also, you are writing for a brand, what do you mean by Highland?
Ikotun to Island is not #700, workers on the island leaving around Ikotun leave very early, so they can get straight bus to obalende/cms at #300 that morning, or #150 to mushin, then #200 to island.
Egbeda to oshodi is #200/250.

Scary prices everywhere.

So if one earns N1M annually, more than 30% is spent on only transportation to work ? shocked

Yet another reason why the world's only city with no functioning train system needs one. Where people can live in Ota or even Ibadan and work in Lagos.

If wishes were horses...

COST OF TRANSPORT AROUND LAGOS MAJOR ROUTES FOR WORKERS

Lagos is the commercial capital of Nigeria, this has impacted in a lot of things in the state including high cost of transportation around the state.

We will be taking a look at the cost of transportation around major destinations in Lagos for the working class , we will be calculating how much the working class spend going to and fro around Lagos and the cost of rent per year. We believe most Lagosians spend the same amount on transport and rent every year.

Our calculation would be cost of transport and total working days, it would be total cost in a day that is to and fro, we have a total of 261 working days in 2019

NOTE: some of this prices fluctuate a lot due to rain( sounds funny right) when rain falls in Lagos forget it the transport fare will always be high, infact sometimes you wont see buses, which make some people trek or enter bike to their destinations or if there is so much crowd that means so much money for danfo buses(yellow buses). Equally from obalende or cms, people usually would want to go to locations inside Victoria island or ikoyi you would need to enter buses to go around, do you know from obalende to bonny camp starts from ₦100 or national open university of Nigeria or Ikeja where you have to take keke to opebi, oregun or any place in Ikeja starts from ₦100.

We will start our destinations from places like Iyana ipaja, ikotun and end at the work place locations like yaba, obalende/cms, lekki/ajah, ikeja. We excluded places like abule egba because the cost of transportation from those places are very high compared to Iyana ipaja as more people enter transport from Iyana ipaja.

We are putting the average salary of the Lagos Working Class at ₦70,000 Monthly, we will be using this to

We will be using the yellow buses (danfo) as examples, as brt don’t function in some route example ikotun to oshodi or egbeda to obalende. You cant see brt routes here
