From Banana Island Gate, take a Danfo or Keke NAPEP going to Falomo Under Bridge or Obalende.
At Falomo or Obalende, board a Danfo heading towards Yaba or Oyingbo. Confirm 'Yaba' or 'Oyingbo' before boarding.
From Yaba Bus Stop, you'll find smaller Danfos or Keke NAPEPs going directly into Abule Oja.
Always confirm your destination with the conductor before paying. Prices can fluctuate based on time of day and fuel costs.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses and bus stops.
LASTMA/VIO are often present around Falomo and Yaba, ensuring traffic rules are followed. Drivers might take alternative routes to avoid them, which can add time.
The cheapest way is typically using multiple Danfo stages. However, be prepared for potential delays and less comfort compared to BRT for the main leg of the journey.
The best way to avoid traffic is to travel during off-peak hours: mid-day (10 AM - 3 PM) or very early in the morning (before 6:30 AM). The Third Mainland Bridge is a major bottleneck during peak times.
Traveling at night carries higher risks, especially on public transport. If you must travel at night, try to use more established bus stops and avoid isolated routes. Be extra vigilant for 'one-chance' operators.
Yes, the main bus stop is 'Yaba Bus Stop' (often called 'Yaba Terminus'). From there, you can easily find transport to areas like Abule Oja, Akoka, and Sabo. The BRT terminal is also located within the general Yaba area.

Best Time to Travel
Mid-day (10:00 AM - 3:00 PM) is ideal to avoid the intense morning and evening rush hour traffic on the Third Mainland Bridge and Yaba axis. Early mornings before 6:30 AM are also relatively clear.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, evening travel requires extra caution due to potential 'one-chance' incidents in less crowded public transport and pickpocketing in busy areas like Yaba. Always be aware of your surroundings.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT is available for a significant portion of this route (e.g., from Obalende/CMS to Yaba). There is no direct rail option for this specific intra-city journey.
