From Alausa Secretariat/Computer Village bus stops, board a commercial bus (Danfo) heading towards Obalende/CMS. Confirm with the conductor.
Alight at Obalende bus stop. From Obalende, look for another commercial bus heading towards Falomo Bridge/Ikoyi Gate.
Alight around Falomo Bridge or Ikoyi Gate. From this point, you will need to take a Keke Marwa (tricycle) or a shared taxi directly into Banana Island.
Traffic is heaviest during morning (7-10 AM) and evening (4-8 PM) rush hours; plan your journey accordingly.
Always confirm your destination with the bus conductor before boarding to avoid going off route.
Keep small denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500 notes) for bus fares as conductors often don't have change for larger notes.
Be prepared for multiple transfers and potential waiting times at bus stops, especially during non-peak hours when buses fill up slower.
To avoid the worst of Lagos traffic, it's best to travel between 10 AM and 3 PM on weekdays, or very early mornings (before 7 AM) and late evenings (after 8 PM). Weekends generally have lighter traffic, but major events can cause localized congestion.
While many commercial buses operate late, it's generally safer to use ride-hailing apps or pre-booked private taxis for late-night travel, especially when going to less familiar areas like Banana Island which has restricted access.
Yes, ride-hailing apps like Uber and Bolt are designed for door-to-door service and can take you directly from your specific pick-up point in Alausa to your precise address within Banana Island.
No, there are no direct commercial bus (Danfo) routes from Alausa to Banana Island. All public transport options will require at least two to three transfers, usually involving different bus lines and a final Keke or taxi ride.
