Quick answer: In 2026 we found Lagos to Yenagoa bus fares from about N25,000 to N41,150 a seat. Peace Mass Transit (PMT) listed N25,000 non-AC and N26,000 AC on a route page it has since taken down. GIGM’s online fare was reported at N41,150 on October 7, 2026. Neither figure is guaranteed for your travel date. The price that counts is the one shown when you book with the operator.
Key Takeaways
- Fares we found: about N25,000 to N41,150 per seat. These are planning figures, not quotes.
- Main Lagos park: Jibowu, on Ikorodu Road. PMT and GIGM both list terminals there.
- Main Yenagoa stops: PMT uses the Bayelsa Transport Terminal at Igbogene. GIGM lists a terminal at Kpansia.
- Road alert: In October 2026, part of the East-West Road at Agbarho in Delta State washed out. Ask your operator about the route before you travel.
- Book safely: Use the operator’s own website or a staffed counter. Never pay into a personal bank account.

Prices change with fuel costs, bus class, demand and holidays. Festive seasons often cost more.
Peace Mass Transit (PMT): What We Could Confirm
PMT is the operator most people ask about on this route. Here’s what we confirmed and what we couldn’t.
Confirmed:
- PMT’s live booking system lists both a Lagos – Jibowu Terminal and a Bayelsa Terminal.
- PMT’s pricing board gives the Jibowu address as 19 Ikorodu Road, Jibowu, Lagos.
- PMT’s terminal directory lists the Bayelsa terminal as Bayelsa Transport Terminal, Igbogene, Wing B, Bay 13. An older PMT listing called it “Left Wing, Peace Stand.” Ask staff for the exact bay when you book.
Not confirmed:
- PMT’s Lagos to Yenagoa route page is gone. Before it came down, it showed N25,000 (non-AC) and N26,000 (AC) at the top, with lower figures (N9,000 and N9,500) further down. Because the page contradicted itself and is now offline, we can’t call any PMT fare verified.
What to do: Search your date on PEACE MASS TRANSIT’s official pricing and booking page. Pick Lagos – Jibowu Terminal as your departure and Bayelsa Terminal or Yenagoa Terminal as your destination. For PMT’s other routes and Lagos terminals, see our Peace Mass Transit price list.
GIGM (God Is Good Motors): Fare and Terminals
AWAJIS reported a GIGM online fare of N41,150 for Lagos to Yenagoa, checked live on the GIGM booking site on October 7, 2026. That makes GIGM pricier than the PMT figures above. GIGM also runs several bus classes, so the price you see can vary.
GIGM’s terminal directory lists:
- Lagos: Jibowu, 20 Ikorodu Express Road
- Yenagoa: Kpansia, opposite Wema Bank, by INEC Junction

Other Operators to Check
We couldn’t find an official Lagos to Yenagoa fare or route listing for GUO, ABC Transport, Young Shall Grow, Chisco or Libra Motors. That doesn’t mean they don’t run the route. It means you should call their official lines before you plan around them.
Useful starting points:
Distance, Travel Time and Road Conditions
No operator publishes an official distance or journey time for this route. Online distance calculators put Lagos to Yenagoa at roughly 530 km by road. Most buses go through Benin City and on to the East-West Road. Plan for a full day of travel, and ask your operator how long the trip usually takes.
Current road alert: In October 2026, VANGUARD and PUNCH reported that a section of the East-West Road at Agbarho, in Ughelli North, Delta State, had washed out after heavy rain. The Delta State Government asked Julius Berger to carry out emergency works on the collapsed section. Getting traffic moving again was the first goal, with a permanent repair to follow (Vanguard report).
What this means for you:
- Your bus may take a detour or run late.
- Ask the terminal about the route when you book and again the day before you travel.
- Avoid travel times that would bring you into Yenagoa late at night.
The FRSC shares road safety guidance on its official website. If you’re thinking about a night bus, read why some interstate buses leave Lagos at night before you book.
Flying Instead: Lagos to Port Harcourt, Then Road
If a full day on the road doesn’t suit you, think about flying to Port Harcourt and finishing the trip by road. Travelmath puts Port Harcourt International Airport about 103 km from Yenagoa by road.
- Compare airlines in our Lagos to Port Harcourt flights guide.
- Check whether Bayelsa International Airport has passenger flights in our flights from Lagos to Bayelsa guide. We couldn’t confirm current scheduled Lagos flights there.
- Going to Port Harcourt by road first? See our Lagos to Port Harcourt bus guide.
How to Book a Lagos to Yenagoa Bus Safely
- Pick your operator. Compare the fare, bus type and terminal.
- Search your exact date on the operator’s own website or ask at a staffed ticket counter.
- Confirm the details: terminal, departure time, reporting time, seat number and luggage rules.
- Pay through official channels only. Never send money to a personal account. If someone gives you a WhatsApp booking number, check that the WhatsApp line is real first.
- Save your ticket and receipt on your phone until you arrive.
- Leave early for Jibowu. Ikorodu Road traffic can be heavy in the morning.
For the full process, read our Lagos interstate bus booking guide.
Budget for More Than the Ticket
The seat price isn’t your whole cost. Plan for:
- A ride to Jibowu from your part of Lagos
- Extra luggage charges, if your operator has them
- Food and water for a long trip
- A ride from the Yenagoa terminal to your final address

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a bus from Lagos to Yenagoa in 2026?
We found figures from about N25,000 to N41,150 a seat. PMT listed N25,000 to N26,000 on a page it has since removed. GIGM was reported at N41,150 on October 7, 2026. Check the operator’s booking page for your date.
Is the PMT fare N9,000 or N25,000?
PMT’s old route page showed both, which is why we don’t treat either as verified. Given PMT’s other 2026 fares, the higher figure looks more realistic. Search PMT’s pricing page for today’s fare.
Where do buses to Bayelsa leave from in Lagos?
Jibowu, on Ikorodu Road, is the main departure point. PMT lists 19 Ikorodu Road. GIGM lists 20 Ikorodu Express Road. Confirm your exact terminal when you book.
Where do buses arrive in Yenagoa?
PMT uses the Bayelsa Transport Terminal at Igbogene. GIGM lists a terminal at Kpansia, opposite Wema Bank, by INEC Junction.
Is the road from Lagos to Bayelsa safe right now?
We can’t promise road conditions on any given day. In October 2026, a washed-out stretch of the East-West Road at Agbarho was reported. Ask your operator about the route before you travel and avoid arriving late at night.
