Looking for the Ogun State Transport Company, its routes, or its fares? Here is the short answer. We could not find a current official website, route list or fare table for a company with that exact name. What we could verify is a set of Ogun State Government CNG bus services, launched in 2023, and a train service with a published Abeokuta stop. This guide shows what is confirmed, what is only historical, and how to check a trip before you pay.
LagosMove is an independent travel information site. We are not the Ogun State Government, a transport operator or a booking agent. We do not sell tickets or take payments for any trip.
Key Takeaways
- We found no official 2026 route list or fare table for an operator named “Ogun State Transport Company.”
- Ogun State’s “DapoCNG Bus” service began on the Mowe-Ibafo-Berger axis in late 2023. Fares then ranged from ₦200 to ₦400, according to THE GUARDIAN NIGERIA.
- A THISDAY review in October 2026 reported that high petrol prices made an immediate fare cut difficult in Ogun, despite the federal CNG fare plan.
- The NIGERIAN RAILWAY CORPORATION (NRC) lists Lagos to Abeokuta train fares from ₦3,000 (regular adult) to ₦9,000 (first class).
- Fares and stops change. Confirm every price at the counter or with the operator before you board.
Is There an Ogun State Transport Company in 2026?
Many people search for the name, and the confusion makes sense. Ogun State runs transport projects, but that is not the same as one company with a clear interstate network.
The OGUNINVEST page from the Ogun State Government lists “Mass Transit” as an investment area. It mentions the deployment and management of CNG buses and smart transport systems. It does not publish passenger routes, fares, terminals or a booking line.
So be careful with any website or social media page that claims to sell “Ogun State Transport” tickets. Unless the details come from an official government source or a confirmed operator, treat them as unverified.
What We Know About Ogun’s CNG Buses
THE GUARDIAN NIGERIA reported the launch of the Ogun State Government’s CNG buses, branded “DapoCNG Bus,” on the Mowe-Ibafo-Berger axis. According to that report:
- The state’s Commissioner for Transportation at the time, Gbenga Dairo, said the buses would run ahead of a planned Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service on the axis.
- Hours were 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday, and 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sundays.
- Stops were Mowe, Ibafo, Magboro, Arepo and New Garage in Berger.
- Fares ranged from ₦200 to ₦400 maximum.
- Governor Dapo Abiodun said the scheme started on the Adatan to Ita-Oshin corridor in Abeokuta and would extend to other towns.
Important: These details date from the 2023 launch. We have not confirmed that the same hours, stops or fares apply today. We also found no confirmed report that the planned BRT service is running. Ask at the bus stop or contact the Ogun State Ministry of Transportation before you plan around them.
Did the October 2026 CNG Fare Plan Lower Ogun Fares?
Not right away, based on the reports we found. President Bola Tinubu asked states to start showing lower transport costs from October 1, 2026, through the National Affordable CNG Transit Programme. The plan relies on states putting CNG and electric buses on the road.
Here is what credible reports say about Ogun and its border routes:
- THISDAY (October 3, 2026) named Ogun among the states where high petrol prices and other running costs made an immediate fare cut difficult.
- BUSINESSDAY reported that commuters from Ifo in Ogun State to Oshodi in Lagos were paying up to ₦1,500, up from ₦1,000 before recent fuel price rises.
- OGUN STATE TELEVISION (OGTV) reported long CNG queues at the NIPCO station in Ibafo and around Mowe. One commuter said CNG buses can delay a trip while they wait in the queue.
What this means for you: Don’t expect a lower CNG fare just because a bus runs on gas. Ask for the total fare before you board, and leave extra time on routes near Ibafo and Mowe.

How to Check a Route and Fare Before You Pay
- Find the real operator. Ask for the company name on the bus or ticket. A vague label such as “Ogun State Transport” is not enough.
- Use official channels only. Take contact numbers from the operator’s own website, office or verified social media. Our guide on how to verify a transport company’s WhatsApp booking line shows you what to check.
- Confirm the total fare. Ask whether the price includes luggage, and whether it covers the full trip or only part of it.
- Confirm the boarding and drop-off points. Terminal names can be confusing. Ask for a landmark.
- Leave early. Traffic on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway can be heavy. Our guide to Lagos road trip times explains when to set off.
- Check road safety updates. The OGUN STATE TRAFFIC COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT CORPS (TRACE) shares traffic notices on its official website.
