Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Banana Island gate, take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a 'Danfo' to Falomo Underbridge or Obalende.
At Falomo or Obalende, find a 'Danfo' heading towards Ajah. You might need to specify 'Abraham Adesanya' or 'Awoyaya' if you want to go further than the main Ajah roundabout. This is a long stretch, so confirm the destination with the conductor.
From Ajah (specifically around Abraham Adesanya or Awoyaya), cross to the other side of the road and find another 'Danfo' or a shared 'Sienna' taxi heading towards Eleko or Epe. Tell the driver or conductor you are going to Arapagi. It's important to confirm Arapagi is on their route.
