From Aboru, take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a 'Danfo' (yellow bus) heading towards Iyana-Ipaja. Many buses will drop you at the main Iyana-Ipaja bus stop.
At Iyana-Ipaja Bus Stop, look for a 'Danfo' going to Oshodi Underbridge or Oshodi Oke. Make sure the bus is heading towards Oshodi.
From Oshodi Underbridge, find a 'Danfo' that is going directly to Obalende. This bus will take the Third Mainland Bridge. Confirm with the 'conductor' before boarding.
At Obalende Bus Stop, ask for a 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' going to Falomo Bridge or Awolowo Road. Tell them you are going to Parkview Estate. You will likely need to take another short 'Keke Napep' or 'drop' taxi from Falomo/Awolowo Road into Parkview Estate proper, depending on the exact gate you need.
**Localized Intel**: Iyana-Ipaja and Oshodi are major transport hubs and notorious LASTMA/VIO hotspots. Ensure your 'Danfo' driver has all valid papers to avoid delays. At Oshodi, be wary of pickpockets.
**Saving Money**: For the last leg within Ikoyi, consider walking a short distance if your luggage is light, as 'Keke Napep' or 'drop' taxis can be pricey for short distances.
**Time Saving**: During peak hours, 'short-trip' buses are often available at major bus stops (e.g., from Iyana-Ipaja to Agege, then Agege to Oshodi) which can sometimes be faster than waiting for a direct long-distance bus, but might cost slightly more overall.
Traveling at night, especially after 8 PM, on public transport in Lagos carries a higher risk. If possible, complete your journey before then. If you must travel at night, use well-lit, busy routes and avoid isolated bus stops. Consider 'drop' taxis from trusted sources if available, but be aware of the instruction not to use ride-hailing apps as alternatives to public transport.
Plan your trip to avoid peak hours (6 AM-9 AM and 4 PM-7 PM). Utilize the BRT where possible as it has dedicated lanes. For portions of the journey, consider routes that avoid known bottlenecks if you are driving, though public transport options are usually fixed.
Yes, key bus stops for this route include Iyana-Ipaja, Oshodi Underbridge (or Oshodi Terminal for BRT), Obalende, and Falomo. These are major interchange points where you can easily find connecting buses.
No, it is highly unlikely to find a single 'Danfo' bus that goes directly from Aboru to Parkview Estate. You will definitely need to break your journey into multiple segments with different buses or 'Keke Napep' rides.
No, there are no local flight or train options available for travel within Lagos from Aboru to Parkview Estate. This journey is strictly by road.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM on weekdays, and before 9:00 AM or after 7:00 PM. Weekends, especially Sundays, generally offer lighter traffic. Avoid peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) to significantly reduce travel time.
Safety Rating
Medium. While the route itself isn't known for specific highway security risks, general urban safety precautions apply. Lagos, like any large city, has its challenges. During the day, it's generally safe. However, evening travel on public transport, especially in less populated areas or late at night, requires extra vigilance due to 'one-chance' incidents. Always be aware of your surroundings.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is partially available for this route. You can use BRT from Oshodi towards CMS/Obalende, which covers a significant portion of the journey across the Third Mainland Bridge. There is currently no direct train service that connects Aboru to Parkview Estate.
