From Abule Oja, walk to the nearest major bus stop (e.g., UNILAG gate or Onike) and board a 'Danfo' (yellow public bus) or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) heading towards Yaba Bus Stop.
At Yaba Bus Stop, proceed to the BRT terminal or look for 'Danfo' buses going to Obalende. The BRT service is often faster and more organized.
From Obalende, you will find 'Danfo' buses or 'Keke Napep' (tricycles) that ply routes into various parts of Ikoyi (e.g., Falomo, Awolowo Road, Osborne). Clearly state your specific destination in Ikoyi to the driver.
Always have cash in small denominations ready for fares, as conductors rarely have change for large notes.
Be mindful of your personal belongings, especially in crowded buses and bus stops.
Confirm the destination and fare with the driver or conductor before boarding to avoid misunderstandings.
BRT buses offer a more structured and often safer experience compared to 'Danfo' for longer stretches.
It is generally advisable to avoid traveling late at night on public transport in Lagos due to increased security risks. If unavoidable, stick to well-lit, busy routes and consider using ride-hailing services for added safety, though this guide focuses on public transport.
'Danfo' and BRT buses have limited space for luggage. You can typically carry a backpack or a small bag that can fit on your lap or at your feet. Large suitcases might be difficult to accommodate, and you may need to pay for an extra seat or consider alternative transport if you have excessive luggage.
Direct 'Danfo' buses covering the entire Abule Oja to Ikoyi route are rare. Most public transport options involve at least one transfer, typically at major hubs like Yaba or Obalende, as detailed in the route options.
