Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Banana Island, take a Keke (tricycle) or a drop-off Danfo to Falomo Roundabout. Negotiate the price before boarding.
At Falomo, board a Danfo heading towards CMS (Costain/Marina). Confirm with the conductor that it's going to 'CMS'.
From CMS, take a BRT bus going towards Iyana Oworo. BRT is usually faster and more comfortable due to dedicated lanes. Alternatively, you can use a regular Danfo, but it might be slower.
At Iyana Oworo, look for BRT buses or direct Danfo buses heading to Ikorodu Roundabout. Always confirm with the conductor that they are going to 'Ikorodu Roundabout' or 'Ikorodu Garage'.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or mid-day (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) to avoid the heaviest traffic. Try to avoid peak hours, which are typically 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, be cautious about 'one-chance' vehicles, especially on longer routes or late at night. Pickpocketing can happen in crowded buses and bus stops. Always be aware of your belongings and avoid boarding empty or suspiciously cheap buses. Evening travel on less busy parts of Ikorodu Road should be approached with extra caution.
