Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Banana Island Gate, take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a local 'Danfo' bus shuttle.
At Falomo, board a 'Danfo' bus clearly heading towards 'Ajah' or 'Epe'. Confirm with the conductor that it will pass 'Ajah Market' or 'Ajah Underbridge'. This is the longest leg of your journey.
From Ajah, take another 'Danfo' bus or a 'Keke Napep' heading specifically towards 'Abijo'. Make sure the driver knows 'Abijo Bus Stop'.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are mid-morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or early afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos' notoriously heavy peak hour traffic. Avoid early mornings (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM) and late evenings (5:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if you want to minimize travel time.
Safety Rating
Medium. General Lagos urban safety precautions apply. Be aware of pickpockets in crowded buses and at busy bus stops. 'One-chance' incidents, where passengers are robbed in shared vehicles, can occur in less regulated taxis or buses; always use designated public transport stops and vehicles. Evening travel on the Lekki-Epe Expressway past Ajah can be less populated, so it's advisable to plan your arrival before dark if possible.
BRT / Rail / Water
There are no direct BRT dedicated lanes or rail services that cover the entire route from Banana Island to Abijo. However, some larger 'Coaster' buses operate along the Lekki-Epe axis, offering a more structured, BRT-style travel experience for parts of the journey.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
