From Aboru, take a 'Danfo' (yellow bus) heading towards Iyana Ipaja or Egbeda.
At Iyana Ipaja or Egbeda, find a 'Danfo' going to Oshodi. Ensure it's the Oshodi-Isolo axis, not Agege.
From Oshodi Bus Terminal, board a BRT bus going towards CMS/TBS (Tafawa Balewa Square). This is a faster and more comfortable option.
At CMS or TBS, cross over to find a 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) heading to Obalende.
From Obalende, take another 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' directly into Dolphin Estate. You might need to specify your exact street within Dolphin Estate.
Enter 'short-trip' buses: If you find a bus that doesn't go directly to your next major stop, take a 'short-trip' to an intermediate point to beat long queues for direct buses.
Always confirm the bus destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way.
Keep small denominations of Naira handy for bus fares; conductors often don't have change for large notes.
Watch out for pickpockets in crowded bus stops like Oshodi and CMS.
Night travel is generally not recommended for public transport due to 'one-chance' risks and reduced availability of buses. If unavoidable, use well-lit routes, avoid isolated stops, and consider a trusted private car service if possible. Always inform someone of your journey plan.
The best way to avoid traffic is to travel outside of peak hours (before 6:30 AM or between 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM). Weekends generally have lighter traffic. Using BRT where available can also help bypass some road congestion as they use dedicated lanes.
No, for an intracity journey like Aboru to Dolphin Estate, there are no local flight or train options. Public buses (Danfo, BRT) and private vehicles are the primary modes of transport.

Safety Rating
Medium. While Lagos is generally safe during the day, evening travel, especially in shared public transport, carries a 'one-chance' risk. Always opt for well-lit, busy routes and avoid isolated bus stops at night. Keep your valuables secure and out of sight. For private vehicles, ensure doors are locked and windows are up in traffic. Be aware of your surroundings.
