About the Iyagbe – Ojo market waterside crossing
Eighty-eight sailings a week outbound against 52 coming back — this is the most lopsided pair in the Lagos network, and the imbalance is the whole story of the route.
Sixteen departures a day from 06:00 to 17:20, three day patterns, 2 nautical miles and 15 minutes each way with Lagos State Waterways.
The direction people travel in is towards the market. Ojo Market Waterside serves one of the large trading grounds on the western creeks, and traders come in loaded and leave empty — or leave by road, which is why the return sailing count is barely half the outbound. A timetable this asymmetric is describing an economy, not a commute.
