From any major bus stop in Anthony (e.g., Anthony Bus Stop, Maryland Bus Stop), board a yellow commercial bus (Danfo) heading towards 'Obalende' or 'CMS'. Always confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding.
Alight at Obalende bus terminal. Look for Keke Napeps (tricycles) or smaller commercial buses (korope) specifically heading towards 'Falomo Bridge' or 'Ikoyi'. Clearly state 'Falomo Bridge' as your stop.
At Falomo Bridge, alight and proceed to find Keke Napeps or private taxis. Take one specifically heading into 'Banana Island'. Keke Napeps will typically drop you at the main gate; taxis can take you to specific addresses within the island.
Always confirm your destination and fare with the conductor/driver before boarding, especially for Keke Napeps and taxis.
Keep small denominations of Naira as conductors/drivers may not always have change for large notes.
Be mindful of rush hour traffic (6 AM-9 AM and 4 PM-7 PM) as travel times can more than double.
For safety, avoid traveling with valuables openly displayed and keep your phone secured.
Consider using ride-hailing apps (Uber/Bolt) for the final leg from Falomo or even the entire journey for comfort, though at a higher cost.
The best times to travel are typically mid-mornings (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) or late evenings (after 8:00 PM) on weekdays. Weekends generally have lighter traffic, especially on Sundays, though the Ikoyi/Lekki axis can still experience congestion.
Yes, Danfos are generally safe for daily commuting. However, always be aware of your surroundings, keep your belongings secure, and avoid late-night travel if possible. For maximum security, stick to busy routes and well-lit areas.
Absolutely. Apps like Uber and Bolt offer a more comfortable and direct option. While significantly more expensive (expect ₦7,000 - ₦15,000+ depending on surge pricing and traffic in ), they eliminate the need for transfers and provide door-to-door service.
If you have significant luggage, commercial buses can be challenging. It's highly recommended to opt for a ride-hailing service (Uber/Bolt) or a private taxi from Anthony directly to Banana Island for convenience and space.
