About the Agaja – Ojo market waterside crossing
07:00, 10:30, 16:00 and 19:00, Monday to Saturday. Four departures across 3.8 nautical miles, each timed at 15 minutes — fifteen knots, and a boat that goes straight there.
The gaps are the timetable
Three and a half hours, then five and a half, then three. The middle of the day is the hole: nothing between half past ten and four in the afternoon.
A market, not a terminal
The destination is a market landing, and the hours follow it — early for the sellers, late afternoon and evening for everyone going home. Sunday carries nothing.
Listed to 21 April 2027
The 06:30 to Ebute Ojo leaves from the same place and covers the same distance in forty minutes rather than fifteen. Which figure is right depends on how many landings the boat works, and our data does not say.
