The road: Ikorodu Road, then the bridge

Ikorodu Road carries some of the heaviest commuter traffic in Lagos, with its own BRT lane and danfos stopping at every bus stop. From Ketu down to Jibowu the morning is stop-start, and getting to VI then means crossing to the Island: usually Third Mainland Bridge, sometimes Eko Bridge when Third Mainland is locked.

This route is on the waitlist because people along Ikorodu Road asked for it. The car you’d share is a professional’s own car, already making the drive to VI, with 2 or 3 riders picked up in the order the road meets them.

Pickup points: being set up

Pickup points here are still being set up. They’ll be named landmarks people already use, by bus stops on Ikorodu Road, at a spot where a car can pull in without stopping in the BRT lane. Heading for the Island, the road meets them in this order:

  1. Ketu
  2. Ojota
  3. Maryland
  4. Anthony
  5. Palmgrove
  6. Onipanu
  7. Fadeyi
  8. Jibowu
  9. Victoria IslandDrop-off

Start further out, in Mile 12 or Ikorodu? Join anyway: choose Other and say where you’d wait. The final points depend on where riders and drivers actually wait.

Morning and evening times

Morning pickups are planned for 6:00 to 7:00 am, with cars reaching VI after the bridge. Heading home, cars will leave VI between 5:00 and 7:00 pm. You choose the time you usually leave when you join, and rides will only run between 5:00 am and 10:00 pm.

We’ll add typical journey times for this route once the pickup points are set and the first drivers have timed it.

Every ride will be confirmed ahead: morning rides the evening before, rides home by 4:30 pm on the day. If someone can’t make it, Simbi, Ganusii’s WhatsApp assistant, will offer the seat to someone else on the route or tell everyone who is riding.

What a solo ride-hail costs today

Solo ride-hail, Ikorodu Road to VI, weekday morning

Being checked

We’re checking what a solo Bolt or Uber from Ikorodu Road (Ojota and Maryland) to Victoria Island costs on a weekday morning, and will post the range here with the month.

Until then, price your own trip in Bolt or Uber at the time you usually leave. That’s the same guide Ganusii will show when you and your driver agree a fare.

How the fare is agreed

There’s no set Ganusii price during the pilot. Today’s solo ride-hail fare for the same trip is the guide. How fares work

  1. Your offer

    What you’d pay for a seat, one way.

  2. Your driver’s ask

    What they’d accept for a seat, one way.

  3. Agreed fare

    Everyone in the car pays the same, directly to the driver after each ride.

Verified people, and HELP on every ride

In an emergency, call 112 or 767 (Lagos emergency) first. Ganusii is not an emergency service. When you can, message HELP so the team knows.

Everyone will show a government-issued ID, take a live photo and confirm a work email before they ride; drivers also share their licence and vehicle details. When rides start, you can message HELP on any ride to report a safety concern or a car or trip issue, and the Ganusii team watches HELP from 5:00 am to 10:00 pm. Trust and safety in full

Questions about this route

How much is a carpool from Ikorodu Road to VI?

There’s no set Ganusii price. You say what you’d pay for a seat, one way, your driver says what they’d accept, and today’s fare for the same trip by solo ride-hail is the guide. You’ll pay your driver directly. We’re still checking today’s solo fare from Ikorodu Road to VI; until then, check Bolt or Uber at the time you leave.

Where will I be picked up on Ikorodu Road?

Pickup points on this route are being set up. They’ll be named landmarks by bus stops people already use, such as Ketu, Ojota, Maryland, Anthony, Palmgrove, Onipanu, Fadeyi and Jibowu, at a spot where a car can pull in without stopping in the BRT lane. You’re never picked up at your gate.

Does the car go over Third Mainland Bridge?

That’s your driver’s call on the day: usually Third Mainland Bridge, sometimes Eko Bridge when Third Mainland is locked. Your pickup point and your drop-off in VI stay the same either way.

Why not just take the BRT?

The BRT on Ikorodu Road costs far less than a solo ride-hail, and for many people it’s the right choice. A Ganusii carpool is for professionals who want a seat in a car with verified people, a pickup time confirmed the evening before, and no change of bus on the Island to reach VI.

Are Ganusii carpools running on Ikorodu Road yet?

Not yet. The waitlist is open and the first route is Lekki / Ajah to Victoria Island; Ikorodu Road is on the waitlist. Carpools start on a route when enough verified drivers and riders are leaving around the same time.

Who will I share the car with?

Verified professionals going the same way: everyone shows a government-issued ID, takes a live photo and confirms a work email, and drivers also share their licence and vehicle details. You’ll get the first names and numbers of the people in your car. In an emergency, call 112 or 767 (Lagos emergency) first. Ganusii is not an emergency service.
