From your location in Ajegunle, take a direct commercial bus (danfo) heading towards Mile 2 or Berger Suya.
At Mile 2 or Berger Suya, board a commercial bus destined for CMS (Central Mosque) or Obalende. These buses will cross the Third Mainland Bridge.
From CMS or Obalende, find a bus or Keke Napep going towards Falomo Bridge/Ikoyi. Many buses ply Awolowo Road.
At Falomo or a convenient drop-off point along Awolowo Road, take a Keke Napep or a local ride-hailing bike (if permitted and safe for short distances) directly to the Banana Island Gate.
Travel during off-peak hours (10 AM - 3 PM, or after 8 PM) to avoid severe traffic congestion, especially on the Third Mainland Bridge.
Always confirm the bus destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid going off-route.
Keep smaller denominations of Naira notes for bus fares; conductors often don't have change for large notes.
Be aware of your surroundings and keep personal belongings secure, especially in crowded bus stops.
To avoid peak traffic, plan your journey between 10 AM and 3 PM, or after 8 PM on weekdays. Weekends generally have lighter traffic, but early mornings are still best.
