Alight at Falomo Roundabout or just before the Ikoyi-Obalende Bridge. From there, cross to the Obalende side or find another 'Danfo' heading towards CMS (Marina). Look for buses with 'CMS' written on them.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM on weekdays to avoid peak morning and evening traffic. Early Saturday mornings (before 9 AM) can also be less congested. Avoid peak hours (6:00 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. During daylight hours, the route is generally safe. However, evening travel (after 7 PM) or getting stuck in heavy traffic can increase the risk of petty theft. Always keep valuables out of sight and be aware of your surroundings. 'One-chance' incidents are rare on these central routes but always use designated bus stops and marked commercial vehicles.
