Traveling from Banana Island (Ikoyi) to Erunwen (Ikorodu) involves a significant intra-city journey from Lagos Island to the Mainland. This route is characterized by busy expressways and multiple transfers using public transport. This guide provides practical options, safety advice, and cost estimates to help you plan your trip effectively.
Distance
55.0 km
Duration
2h 30m
Total Cost
₦900 - ₦1,600
Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Banana Island, take a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) going towards Obalende or Falomo. These are common exit points from Ikoyi.
At Obalende or Falomo, look for a 'Danfo' bus heading to 'Ikorodu Garage' or 'Ikorodu Roundabout'. It's best to find a bus going 'direct' to Ikorodu to minimize transfers. These buses will typically use the Third Mainland Bridge and Ikorodu Road, passing through hotspots like Ojota, Ketu, and Mile 12.
From Ikorodu Garage or Ikorodu Roundabout, take another 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' going to Erunwen. Clearly ask for 'Erunwen Junction' or specific landmarks within Erunwen to ensure you get on the right vehicle.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (around 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM). Avoid peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) as traffic can be extremely heavy, significantly increasing travel time and sometimes fares. Travel during these times can easily double or triple your journey duration.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, travelers should exercise caution. 'One-chance' syndicates can operate in some public buses, particularly those loading from less regulated spots or late at night. Traffic robberies can occur in heavy gridlock on expressways. Always be aware of your surroundings and avoid displaying valuables.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a viable and often faster option for a significant portion of this route, specifically from CMS/TBS to Ikorodu. There is no direct train service available for this intra-city route.
The Oshodi multi-terminal is highly secure, but pickpockets operate on the outer pedestrian bridges. Keep phones and wallets zipped in inner pockets.
