New Edo Line lists 13 terminals across Nigeria. Two are in Lagos: Ajah (front of Furniture Square, Thomas Estate) and Iyana-Ipaja (173 Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, by the BRT bus stop). The main terminal is Benin Central Park in Benin City. The company does not publish a fare list. Third-party 2026 listings put Benin to Lagos at about N18,000 to N38,000, so confirm the live fare in the app or at the counter before you pay.
LagosMove is an independent guide. We do not sell tickets, we do not work for New Edo Line, and no operator pays for a mention on this page.

What is New Edo Line?
Edo Line was a well-known Edo State transport brand that left the road for years. It returned in 2025. The FEDERAL MINISTRY OF INFORMATION AND NATIONAL ORIENTATION reported that Minister Nyesom Wike and Senator Adams Oshiomhole joined the Edo State Government at the inauguration of the revamped Edo Line in July 2025. THE NATION covered the brand’s return after 15 years.
The launch was not smooth. VANGUARD reported that Governor Monday Okpebholo suspended an earlier planned commissioning of the new buses. Reports also give different fleet sizes, so we do not quote one.
The company now trades as New Edo Line Limited. Its official website describes digital ticketing, a wallet and cashless payment. We have not tested those features.

The Benin spelling differs on the same site. The terminal listing says “Obakhavhaye.” The corporate office listing says “Benin Central Park, Obakhavbaye Street.” Ask for the exact gate when you call.
A listed terminal does not mean every route leaves from it every day. Always confirm your departure point for your date.
New Edo Line park in Lagos: Ajah or Iyana-Ipaja?
Ajah suits travellers in Lekki, Sangotedo, Ajah and the Island. The terminal sits on the busy Lekki-Ibeju corridor, so check our Lekki-Epe Expressway traffic guide before you leave. New to the area? Our Ajah area guide covers how to get around. Open Ajah terminal in Google Maps.
Iyana-Ipaja suits travellers on the mainland, around Ikeja, Egbeda and Alimosho. It sits by the BRT stop, so our BRT in Lagos guide can help you get there. Open Iyana-Ipaja terminal in Google Maps.
Board where your ticket says, even if the other park is closer. For more park options, see our Lagos bus parks guide and how to get around Lagos.
New Edo Line price list 2026 (estimates)
New Edo Line does not publish a fare list. The figures below come from third-party 2026 listings by AGOTRAVEL, EASYMOVE, TRANFARE, EXPRESSTRAVEL and ABUJAMOVE. They are estimates, not official prices.
| Route from Benin City | Reported fare range | Travel time | Where the figure comes from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lagos | N18,000 to N38,000 | 6 to 8 hours | 2026 third-party fare roundups |
| Abuja | N25,000 to N48,000 | 8 to 10 hours | 2026 third-party fare roundups |
| Port Harcourt | N15,000 to N32,000 | 7 to 9 hours | 2026 third-party fare roundups |
| Warri | N6,000 to N15,000 | 3 to 4 hours | Tranfare listing |
One listing by TRANFARE gives air-conditioned fares of N32,000 for Benin to Abuja, N33,000 for Benin to Abuja (Utako) and N12,000 for Benin to Warri. We found no reliable 2026 fares for the Ibadan, Kaduna, Uromi, Auchi or Ekpoma terminals. We also will not print a guess there. If you have paid one of those routes this year, tell us and we will add it with the date you travelled.
Why do the figures differ so much? Listings point to fuel costs, bus type, festive demand and terminal location. Our guide to how Lagos transport fares move explains the pattern. Treat any price list as a starting point. The amount the company quotes for your date is the one that counts.
Do not reverse a Benin to Lagos price to guess a Lagos to Benin fare. To compare other operators, see our guides to Iyare Motors, Agofure Motors and Lagos bus companies.
How New Edo Line compares on the Lagos to Benin corridor
Reported 2026 estimates for the same road. These are third-party figures, not quotes.
| Operator | Reported fare |
|---|---|
| ABC Transport | N21,000 to N32,000 |
| Agofure Motors | N22,000 to N35,000 |
| Young Shall Grow Motors | N23,000 to N32,000 |
| God Is Good Motors | N30,000 to N38,000 |
Price is only one part of the choice. Check the park you can reach, the departure time, the bus class and the luggage rules. See our guides to ABC Transport in Lagos, Young Shall Grow Motors, God Is Good Motors and Peace Mass Transit. For Edo State operators in the same market, read our pages on Faith Motors and Big Joe Motors. There is a wider list in our Lagos transport directory.
Bus, car or flight: the real cost
The road distance is about 308 km, through Sagamu, Ijebu-Ode and Ore.
| Option | Rough cost | Journey time |
|---|---|---|
| Bus to Benin City | N21,000 to N38,000 | 5 to 8 hours |
| Own car, fuel only | About N41,500 | 4.5 to 7 hours |
| Flight, Lagos to Benin (LOS to BNI) | From about N105,500 one way | About 1 hour in the air |
Air Peace and United Nigeria both appear on the Lagos to Benin air route. The N105,500 figure is a 2026 snapshot, and December is the most expensive month to fly. The car figure covers fuel only, so leave room for tolls, tyres and parking. For one traveller the bus is nearly always cheaper. For four people, add up four tickets before you assume that. If your dates are fixed, compare our Lagos road trip times with the flight you are looking at.
What we could not confirm
- Any official fare for any route.
- A full timetable, including a published Lagos to Benin departure.
- The live performance of the wallet and cashless payment.
- Fares for the Ibadan, Kaduna, Uromi, Auchi and Ekpoma terminals.
- Fleet size. Reports give different numbers, so we do not quote one.
If a terminal address has changed or a fare is out of date, tell us with the date you travelled and we will correct this page.
How LagosMove checked this guide
We read the company’s own terminals, booking and contact pages, checked that each link on this page loads, and compared the fare claims across several third-party listings. We quote the range they give and name the source. This page does not sell tickets, so we have no reason to push you toward one operator or one price.
How to book New Edo Line online
- Start on the official booking site at app.newedoline.com, or call the numbers below.
- Choose your route, date and terminal. Check that the terminal matches the park you plan to use.
