From Banana Island, take a Keke or a 'short-trip' Danfo to Falomo Roundabout or directly to the Ikoyi Link Bridge exit.
At Falomo or Ozumba Mbadiwe, board a BRT bus or a 'long-bus' Danfo going towards Ajah. Look for buses with 'Ajah' or 'Badore' on their destination board, but mostly 'Ajah'.
Alight at Ajah Market or Ajah Roundabout. From there, take a Keke or a local Danfo going into Badore. Specify your exact stop in Badore.
For the first leg, if you're close to the Link Bridge, walking across and boarding a bus from Ozumba Mbadiwe can save you money on the Keke.
BRT buses are generally faster and more comfortable for the Lekki-Epe Expressway leg. Look for the designated BRT lanes.
At Ajah, be clear with Keke drivers about your destination in Badore to avoid being dropped off too early or taken on a longer route.
Traveling at night by public transport carries a higher risk of 'one-chance' incidents. It's advisable to complete your journey before 8:00 PM if possible. If you must travel late, use well-lit, busy bus stops and avoid empty or suspicious-looking vehicles.
No, there are no direct public buses (Danfo or BRT) that run directly from Banana Island to Badore. You will always need to take multiple stages, usually involving changes at Falomo/Lekki Phase 1 and then again at Ajah.
The best way to avoid heavy traffic is to travel during off-peak hours: very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM), late morning (after 10:00 AM), or late at night (after 7:00 PM). Using BRT for the Lekki-Epe Expressway portion can also help as they use dedicated lanes.
A 'short-trip' bus or Danfo is one that covers only a portion of a longer route. Passengers sometimes take these to get past a particularly congested area or to reach a specific bus stop where they can then board a 'long-bus' for their main destination. This can sometimes save time or help you get a seat faster.

Early morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) to avoid peak hour traffic. Afternoons are best after 7:00 PM, but consider safety for late travel.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents (robbery in public transport) can occur, especially late at night or very early in the morning. Always opt for well-lit, busy bus stops and avoid empty vehicles. Keep valuables out of sight.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT buses are available along the Lekki-Epe Expressway, offering a faster and more structured option for the main leg of your journey (e.g., from Falomo/CMS to Ajah). There is no rail service for this route.
