From Abule Oja, take a short Keke (tricycle) or walk to the Sabo/Yaba BRT Terminal.
At Sabo/Yaba BRT Terminal, purchase a BRT card or top-up an existing one. Board a BRT bus heading towards CMS. The journey will take you across Eko Bridge.
Alight at CMS BRT Terminal. Look for Danfo (yellow mini-buses) heading to 'Obalende' or 'Ikoyi'. It's best to take one to Obalende first.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) to avoid peak rush hour traffic. Mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) offers the most manageable traffic. Avoid 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM if possible, as traffic towards Ikoyi and the Island can be severe.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos public transport is generally safe for daily travel. However, minor risks include pickpocketing in crowded buses/parks, and 'one-chance' situations (unscrupulous taxi drivers) if you opt for unverified private taxis. Stick to designated public transport and avoid late-night travel if possible. Always be aware of your surroundings and keep valuables secure.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant portion of this route, offering a more structured and often faster option. There is no rail option directly serving this route for passengers.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
