From Banana Island Gate, take a Keke Napep or Danfo bus to Falomo Bus Stop.
At Falomo, take a Danfo bus or another Keke Napep going to CMS Bus Stop.
At CMS, locate the BRT terminal (usually near TBS - Tafawa Balewa Square). Take a BRT bus directly to Ikorodu Terminal (Ikorodu Garage).
From Ikorodu Garage, take a Keke Napep or a local Danfo shuttle to Agoro Odiyan. Confirm with the driver if they are going to your specific street or a nearby junction.
BRT buses are generally more comfortable and follow dedicated lanes, which can save time during traffic.
Ensure you have a BRT card or cash to purchase a ticket at the BRT terminal.
LASTMA/VIO Hotspot: Be aware of traffic officials around Falomo, CMS, and major junctions on Ikorodu Road. Drivers might take detours to avoid them, which can add to your travel time.
Traveling at night on this route is not recommended, especially for first-time travelers or alone. Public transport options reduce significantly, and 'one-chance' risks increase. If absolutely necessary, stick to well-lit, busy areas and consider private transport options (though not covered in this guide).
No, there are no direct public buses (Danfo or BRT) that go straight from Banana Island to Ikorodu. You will always need to make at least two transfers.
The best way is to travel during off-peak hours: very early mornings (before 6 AM) or late mornings (after 10 AM). Using the BRT lanes can also help reduce travel time during moderate traffic.
While official BRT fares are fixed, Danfo fares can sometimes be subject to slight negotiation or change based on fuel prices and traffic. Always confirm the fare before you board, especially for the final leg to Agoro Odiyan.

Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos is generally safe during the day, but be cautious. 'One-chance' incidents can happen, especially in less crowded buses or late at night. Pickpockets are common in busy bus stops. Always use well-lit and busy routes. Avoid traveling alone late in the evening if possible.
