Young Shall Grow Motors at a Glance
According to ABOUT YSG on the company’s official site, YSG began in 1972 with a minibus running between Enugu and Onitsha. It moved its base to Lagos in 1973. Today it says it carries over 10,000 passengers and about 20 tons of cargo daily, with more than 1,500 vehicles. These are company figures. We have not seen an independent audit of them.
YSG also says its buses use speed limiters and tracking devices. Its services page lists five main services:
- Scheduled intercity passenger trips
- Online booking, including round trips
- Bus charter (up to five buses per request)
- Cargo and parcel transport
- West Coast trips to nearby countries

Does Young Shall Grow Have a Night Bus?
Many travellers search for a YSG night bus price list. The honest answer is that YSG’s official pages do not list a night service, night departure times or night fares. We could not confirm one.
If you need to travel late, ask YSG directly:
- Is there an evening departure on my date and route?
- Which terminal loads it, and what time should I report?
- What time will it arrive?
- Is the fare the same as a daytime trip?

Young Shall Grow Terminals in Lagos
The YSG OFFICIAL TERMINAL PAGE (view it here) lists these Lagos locations:
Agege, Ajah, Alaba International, Alafia, Cele (Cele B/Stop), First Gate, Iba (Iba Estate), Ijora, Ikorodu, Ikotun, Iyana-Ipaja, Jibowu, Lagos West Coast, Mazamaza (Badagry Expressway), New Firstgate, New Road, Oshodi, Otto (Otto Iddo) and Yaba.
It also lists Sango Otta in Ogun State.
Most entries give only an area name, not a street address. Not every terminal serves every route. Before you leave home, ask which terminal loads your bus and where to find it.
If you live on the Badagry Expressway side, Mazamaza is the terminal with the clearest listed location. Older guides often name only Jibowu, but YSG now lists many more pickup areas.
How to Book a YSG Ticket Online
The YSG booking page works in a few steps:
- Enter where you are travelling from and where you are going.
- Pick your travel date and the number of passengers.
- Continue to see the available trips, then choose your seat and pay.
- Save your booking reference and print or screenshot your ticket.
The same page has options to check booking status, cancel a trip, print a ticket or modify a trip. YSG does not publish its refund or change rules there, so ask before you pay.
Safety tip: Pay only through the official booking page or at a YSG counter. Be careful with anyone who asks you to pay into a personal account. For more booking advice, see our Lagos interstate bus booking guide.
