Directories list Onitsha South Transport (also called Onitsha South Mass Transit) as an interstate bus company based at Ora Eri Street, beside Toronto Hospital, MCC, along the Expressway, Upper Iweka, Onitsha. We could not find an official website, a published fare list or a working online booking page for the company. The address, phone numbers, routes and fares below come from third-party directories. Use them to plan your trip, then confirm with the operator before you pay.

Key takeaways

• Listed terminal: Ora Eri Street, beside Toronto Hospital, MCC, Upper Iweka, Onitsha (from FINELIB).
• Listed phone numbers: 0806 160 7539 and 0813 829 2227. A directory lists them; the operator has not confirmed them.
• Booking: mostly in person at the terminal, according to TRAVO. We found no verified online booking.
• Fares: directory estimates vary a lot. Onitsha to Port Harcourt ranges from ₦12,000 to ₦33,000 depending on the source.
• Safest step: call ahead, confirm the route, fare and loading point, then pay only at a staffed company counter.

What we could and could not verify

This matters because travellers often lose money to old numbers and fake “agents.” Treat every detail as a starting point, not a promise.

Where is the Onitsha South Transport terminal?

The FINELIB listing for Onitsha South Mass Transit places the terminal at Ora Eri Street, beside Toronto Hospital, MCC, along the Expressway, Upper Iweka, Onitsha.

Upper Iweka is one of the busiest transport hubs in the South East. Many parks and loading points sit close together. When you call, ask for:

• The full terminal address and a nearby landmark
• The exact gate or loading bay for your route
• How early you should report

If someone is picking you up after your trip, send them the terminal name and address. “Upper Iweka” alone is not enough.

Onitsha South Transport phone numbers

The same directory lists these numbers:

• 0806 160 7539
• 0813 829 2227

These numbers may be old or may reach a single staff member rather than the main office. TRAVO chose not to publish any phone numbers because the directories it checked disagreed. When you call, ask whether the line reaches the Onitsha terminal and whether the person can confirm your fare and departure time.

Never pay anyone just because they picked up a listed number. Our guide on how to verify a transport company’s WhatsApp booking line shows you how to spot fake lines.

Routes listed for Onitsha South Transport

FINELIB lists these destinations, among others:

Enugu, Abuja, Aba, Awka, Nnewi, Nsukka, Abakaliki, Afikpo, Uburu, Ikom, Ugep, Obudu, Ogoja and Calabar.

The list leans toward the South East and Cross River. A route on a directory does not mean a bus runs every day. Ask whether your trip is direct, what time it leaves and where it stops.

TRAVO also gives fare estimates for Lagos, Port Harcourt, Owerri and Warri. Those cities do not appear on the FINELIB route list. Confirm with the operator that they serve your route before you plan around it.

Onitsha South Transport price list 2026 (estimates only)

The ranges below come from TRAVO‘s 2026 fare comparison, updated September 28, 2026. TRAVO says the operator does not publish a fare list online, so it combined estimates from three directories. These are not official fares.

Fares change with fuel prices, bus type, demand and season. Prices often rise around Christmas and Easter. Our guide to how Nigerian holidays change Lagos transport fares explains the pattern.

Before you pay, ask whether the fare includes luggage, and what extra bags cost.

Does Onitsha South Transport have online booking?

We could not verify any online booking. TRAVO reports that tickets are sold mainly in person. If a website or social media page offers “Onitsha South” tickets, treat it with care until the operator confirms it is theirs.

Onitsha South vs other operators from Onitsha

If you can’t confirm a seat with Onitsha South, compare other options. The FINELIB directory of buses and terminals in Onitsha lists more companies to contact.

A company with an official terminal page gives you an extra way to check details. That doesn’t make it better for every trip, but it lowers the risk of being sent to the wrong branch.

How to book Onitsha South Transport safely

1. Call a listed number and confirm the route, date, departure time and fare.
2. Ask for the loading point and reporting time.
3. Go to the staffed counter at the terminal to buy your ticket.
4. Check your ticket for the correct destination, date and seat.
5. Keep your receipt until you arrive.
6. Don’t transfer money to a personal account, even if someone offers a lower fare.

Travelling from Lagos to Onitsha?

If your trip starts in Lagos, confirm which Lagos park your operator uses. A ticket that says only “Lagos” could mean Jibowu, Ajah, Festac or somewhere else. These guides can help:

Sending a parcel instead?

Don’t assume a passenger bus company will carry parcels on its own. Ask about packaging rules, fees and where to collect. Our guides on how to send parcels by bus between Nigerian cities and Lagos to Onitsha delivery options compare buses, couriers and haulage.
