About the Ojo market waterside – Iyagbe crossing
Ten departures a day, 52 sailings a week, 06:00 to 17:00 — the quieter half of a pair whose outbound leg runs 88 times.
Three day patterns cover it, the same as the reverse. Nothing about the calendar explains the gap; the difference is purely in how many boats are scheduled each way.
Both directions cover the same 2 nautical miles in 15 minutes across the Badagry creek system west of Lagos. The market at Ojo draws traffic in from the creek settlements through the morning, and the boats that carry it are not all needed to take people home again — the roads, congested as they are, absorb the rest.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Passenger water buses
- Modern jetty terminals
