Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Start your journey at the Ahmadiyya Bus Stop. Look for yellow 'Danfo' buses heading towards Ikeja Underbridge or Pen Cinema. Confirm the destination with the conductor.
Alight at Ikeja Underbridge. Cross to the BRT terminal side. Purchase or top up your 'Cowry Card' if you don't have one, as BRT only accepts card payments. Board a BRT bus clearly marked for 'Obalende'.
The BRT will take you across the Third Mainland Bridge to the Obalende BRT terminal. This is a major transport hub. From here, you need to find a local 'Danfo' bus or a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) going towards Falomo Bridge or Ikoyi. Confirm it's heading towards 'Banana Island gate' or 'Parkview Estate junction'.
Alight at the Banana Island gate or the nearest accessible public bus stop. From the gate, you may need to walk or arrange for a short local taxi ride if you have a specific address on the island, as public transport generally doesn't enter the main residential areas of Banana Island.

Best Time to Travel
Mid-morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or late afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) to avoid the heaviest rush hour traffic. Weekends often have lighter traffic, but allow for unexpected delays.
Safety Rating
Medium. While BRT buses are generally safer, crowded Danfo buses and bus stops can be targets for petty theft. Avoid displaying valuables and be aware of your surroundings, especially during peak hours. Night travel is not recommended for public transport on this route.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT services are available for significant portions of this route, offering a more structured and often faster option than regular Danfo buses. There is no train service for this specific intra-city route.
