From Banana Island, take a 'Keke Napep' or a short 'Danfo' ride to Falomo Underbridge or Obalende Bus Stop.
At Obalende Terminus, look for 'Danfo' buses heading to Ketu/Mile 12. Confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding.
Alight at Ketu Bus Stop (before Mile 12). From Ketu, take another 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' directly to Demurin.
Always confirm your exact destination with the conductor before boarding any 'Danfo' to avoid going the wrong way or being dropped off at an inconvenient spot.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops like Obalende and Ketu, where pickpocketing can occur.
Try to have exact change or smaller denominations. Conductors sometimes claim not to have change for large notes.
Yes, common hotspots include areas around Falomo Bridge/Awolowo Road, entry/exit points of the Third Mainland Bridge, and Ikorodu Road around Ketu/Mile 12. Drivers are generally aware and cautious in these areas.
It is generally not advisable to use public transport alone late at night (after 8 PM), especially on the mainland routes. If you must travel, stick to well-lit, busy bus stops and consider using a trusted private car service if possible, though this guide focuses on public transport.
'One-chance' refers to criminal syndicates operating as public transport (usually unmarked 'Danfo' buses or private cars), who rob passengers. To avoid this, always use registered public transport at designated bus stops. Be suspicious of suspiciously empty buses or those with only a driver and conductor acting unusually.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are mid-mornings (10 AM - 12 PM) and early afternoons (2 PM - 4 PM) on weekdays. Weekends, especially Saturday mornings, generally have lighter traffic. Avoid peak hours: 6 AM - 9 AM (mainland to island) and 4 PM - 8 PM (island to mainland).
Safety Rating
Medium. Generally safe during the day, but evening travel on public transport, especially in less familiar areas or isolated stops, carries risks. Banana Island and Ikoyi are generally safer areas, while the Ketu/Mile 12 area can be very busy and prone to petty theft.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant portion of the journey, specifically from Obalende/CMS to Ketu. There is no direct BRT from Banana Island. Currently, there are no operational rail services that serve this specific intra-city route.
