Compiling Route Details...
Moving from the quiet, high-brow Banana Island in Ikoyi to the busy residential and industrial hub of Ilupeju means traveling from Lagos Island to the Mainland. Because of current fuel price hikes, this journey requires a good understanding of connecting buses, short keke trips, or ride-hailing options to avoid spending too much money or getting stuck in heavy Lagos traffic.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid the worst morning traffic, leave Banana Island before 6:30 AM or wait until the off-peak period starting from 10:00 AM. For evening trips from Ilupeju back to the Island, try to move before 4:00 PM or delay your movement until after 8:30 PM when the severe gridlock begins to clear.
Safety Rating
Medium. While Banana Island is highly secure, major transit hubs along the way like Obalende, Yaba Under-bridge, and Oshodi/Ilupeju bypass can be risky. Commuters must stay alert, look after their phones and wallets, especially in the evening, and avoid flashing expensive items at crowded bus stops.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT bus or Train service from Banana Island to Ilupeju. However, you can access the standard regulated BRT buses when you get to Fadeyi or Anthony Bus Stop along Ikorodu Road. The Lagos Blue Line Rail does not serve this route, and the Red Line Rail is accessible further down at Mushin or Oshodi if you are heading deep into the mainland.
