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.
