Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Banana Island Gate, take a Keke Napep or a short Danfo to Falomo Roundabout or the Ikoyi Link Bridge area.
At Falomo/Ikoyi Link Bridge, find a Danfo or a larger commercial bus heading towards Oshodi. You might need to ask for buses going to 'CMS' or 'Obalende' first, then connect to Oshodi from there if direct buses are scarce. The bus will typically use the Third Mainland Bridge.
From Oshodi (either the Under Bridge area or the new Terminal), take a Danfo directly to Iyana Ipaja. Look for buses with 'Iyana Ipaja' clearly written on them or ask for directions.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM on weekdays to avoid the worst of the morning (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM) and evening (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) rush hour traffic. Very early mornings (before 6:00 AM) can also be quick. Weekends generally have lighter traffic, but Sundays might have reduced public transport availability.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, evening travel requires extra caution. There's a risk of 'one-chance' (criminals posing as public transport drivers/passengers) on less busy routes or late at night. Bag snatching is common in crowded bus stops like Oshodi and Iyana Ipaja. Always be alert and avoid displaying valuables. LASTMA and VIO officials are frequently present on major roads like the Third Mainland Bridge approaches, Oshodi, and Agege Motor Road, ensuring traffic rules are followed; they mostly interact with drivers.
BRT / Rail / Water
