I work in Ikeja and I live in Okota.
If you think commuting in Lagos is small money, let me break down my daily transport cost.
Morning Routine
• Cross the footbridge linking to Cele Express – ₦50
• Keke to the bus stop – ₦200
• Bus to Computer Village – ₦700
(₦800 on Mondays)
• Keke from Computer Village to my office – ₦200
After Work
• Keke back to Computer Village – ₦200
• Bus to Cele Express – ₦1,000
• Cross the footbridge and walk home – ₦50
Total Daily Spend
On a normal day:
₦50 + ₦200 + ₦700 + ₦200 + ₦200 + ₦1,000 + ₦50
= ₦2,400 per day
On Mondays:
₦2,500 per day
That’s just transport. No food. No unexpected stops. No surge pricing.
If you’re a 9–5er in Lagos, you already know how quickly commuting adds up.
