From your location on Banana Island, take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a local 'Danfo' bus to the Banana Island Gate.
At Banana Island Gate, board a 'Danfo' bus heading towards 'Falomo Under Bridge' or 'CMS'. If the bus goes directly to CMS, that's better. Otherwise, alight at Falomo Under Bridge.
From 'Falomo Under Bridge', take another 'Danfo' bus heading to 'CMS' (Bus Stop). This is a major hub on Lagos Island.
From 'CMS Bus Stop', Campos Square Area is a short walk (5-10 minutes) or a quick 'Keke Napep' ride away. Ask for directions to 'Campos Square' or 'Lagos City Hall'.
To save money, try to find a direct 'Danfo' from Banana Island Gate that goes all the way to CMS, avoiding an extra fare at Falomo.
Be prepared for crowded buses, especially during peak hours. Keep your belongings secure.
LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and VIO (Vehicle Inspection Officers) are often present around Falomo Bridge and Marina. Ensure your bus driver follows traffic rules to avoid delays.
Yes, ride-hailing apps are available and convenient, but this guide focuses on public transport options to give travelers more choices and potentially save costs. For a direct, private trip, ride-hailing is an option.
Direct public buses are rare. You will almost certainly need to take at least two stages of public transport (e.g., Keke/Danfo to a main road, then another Danfo or BRT to Lagos Island).
It is generally safer to travel during the day. If you must travel at night, stick to busy, well-lit areas and established bus stops. Avoid isolated routes and always be aware of your surroundings. Using ride-hailing apps might be a safer alternative at night if public transport options become sparse or less secure.
Avoid traveling between 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM (morning rush) and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM (evening rush) on weekdays, as these times experience the heaviest traffic congestion, especially around Falomo Bridge and all routes leading to Lagos Island.

Safety Rating
Medium. While the route is generally safe during the day, crowded areas can attract petty crime. Exercise caution at night, especially at bus stops. 'One-chance' incidents are rare on this specific route but always be vigilant when boarding unverified vehicles.
