About the Ijegun Egba – Ibasa crossing
06:00, 07:30 and 09:00, Monday to Saturday. All three sailings fall in the first three hours of the day, covering 0.3 nautical miles in 2 minutes.
Nothing after nine
The service stops when the morning does. On a crossing this short that is a deliberate shape rather than a limitation — the traffic is people getting somewhere at the start of a day.
Ninety minutes apart
The three departures are evenly spaced, which on the Lagos lagoon usually means one boat making three round trips rather than three vessels.
Six days
Sunday carries nothing. The schedule on file extends into 2027, in keeping with how this network publishes.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Passenger water buses
- Modern jetty terminals
