About BRT/Danfo Fare Calculator
Navigate Lagos Transport Costs Like a Pro
Getting around Lagos is an adventure in itself. Between BRT buses, danfos, kekes, Uber, Bolt, and the occasional okada, the cost of transportation can eat into your budget faster than you realise - especially if you are commuting daily from areas like Ikorodu, Ajah, Lekki, or Berger to the Island or Ikeja. The BRT/Danfo Fare Calculator helps you estimate what your journey will cost across different transport modes, so you can choose the option that fits your pocket and your schedule.
Compare Fares Across Multiple Transport Options
The beauty of this tool is the side-by-side comparison. Enter your starting point and destination within Lagos, and the calculator estimates fares for BRT (Bus Rapid Transit), danfo (commercial minibuses), Uber, and Bolt. You instantly see which option is cheapest, which is fastest, and where the sweet spot between cost and convenience lies.
BRT fares are fixed and regulated by LAMATA, making them the most predictable option. Danfo fares fluctuate based on fuel prices, traffic, time of day, and honestly, the driver's mood - but the calculator uses current average fares for major routes to give you a reliable estimate. For ride-hailing services like Uber and Bolt, the tool estimates based on current per-kilometre pricing, typical surge patterns, and route distance.
Major Lagos Routes Covered
The BRT/Danfo Fare Calculator covers the routes that matter most to Lagosians. Popular corridors include Mile 2 to CMS, Ikorodu to TBS, Berger to Oshodi, Ajah to Victoria Island, Ikeja to Marina, Oshodi to Obalende, and many more. Whether you are commuting on the BRT corridor along Ikorodu Road or taking a danfo through the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway, the tool has estimates for your journey.
For routes that involve connections - say, BRT from Ikorodu to TBS and then a danfo to Obalende - you can calculate each leg separately and add them up for a total trip cost. This is particularly useful for planning weekly or monthly transport budgets.
Why Transport Budgeting Matters in Lagos
Transportation is consistently one of the largest expenses for working-class Lagosians after rent and food. A daily return commute of 1,500 to 3,000 naira adds up to 30,000 to 60,000 naira per month - a significant chunk of many salaries. Yet most people never sit down to calculate exactly how much they spend on transport because the costs come in small daily increments that feel manageable in the moment.
The BRT/Danfo Fare Calculator makes these costs visible. When you see that switching from Uber to BRT for your daily commute saves you 35,000 naira a month, or that moving from Ajah to a place closer to your office on the mainland could cut your transport bill in half, those are actionable insights that can genuinely improve your financial situation.
Updated for Current Lagos Realities
Lagos transport fares are not static. Fuel price changes, new BRT routes, toll adjustments, and ride-hailing pricing updates all affect what you pay. The calculator reflects current fare structures as of 2026, including the expanded BRT Blue Line and Red Line rail corridor fares. We update the fare data regularly to keep estimates accurate.
If you are new to Lagos - whether relocating for work, starting university, or visiting - this tool is especially valuable. Understanding transport costs before you arrive helps you choose where to live, how to commute, and how much to budget for getting around Africa's most dynamic city.
