Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From your location within Balogun Market, walk towards Tom Jones or CMS Bus Stop. This is a central point for many buses leaving Lagos Island. Alternatively, take a short 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a local 'Danfo' to CMS.
At CMS Bus Stop, look for 'Danfo' (yellow buses) with 'Ketu' or 'Mile 12' written on them. Confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding. These buses will usually pass through Ketu.
The bus will typically cross either Eko Bridge or the Third Mainland Bridge (depending on traffic and the driver's preference) and then proceed along the Oworonshoki-Ikorodu Road axis. Pay attention to your surroundings.
Alight at Ketu Bus Stop. This is a major intersection and easily recognizable.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid peak hour traffic. Evening travel is also heavy from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Weekends generally offer lighter traffic.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, be aware of pickpockets, especially in crowded bus stops and buses. Avoid displaying valuables. 'One-chance' buses (where criminals pose as public transport operators) are a rare but present risk; always board buses from designated, busy bus stops.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a highly recommended and available option for a significant portion of this route, offering a dedicated lane for faster travel. There is no train service for this specific intra-city route.
