Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From the Banana Island gate or nearby main road, find a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading towards Falomo or CMS (Marina). Confirm with the conductor before boarding.
At Falomo, look for a 'Danfo' going to Costain or Ojuelegba. If you stopped at CMS, find a 'Danfo' heading towards Costain.
From Costain or Ojuelegba, board a 'Danfo' heading towards Mile 2. This part of the journey can be very busy due to the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway traffic.
At Mile 2, you will find 'Keke Napep' (tricycles) or smaller 'Danfo' buses specifically going into Kirikiri. Confirm the exact part of Kirikiri you are going to, as it's a large area.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid the worst of Lagos traffic, it's best to leave Banana Island before 6:30 AM or after 10:00 AM in the morning. For evening travel, avoid the 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM rush hour. Mid-day (11:00 AM - 3:00 PM) generally offers smoother travel.
Safety Rating
Medium. While main roads are generally busy during the day, 'one-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed or abducted by criminals posing as public transport operators) can occur, especially in less busy areas or late at night. Kirikiri, being an industrial area, requires extra caution. Always use public transport from designated, well-lit bus stops and avoid empty vehicles, especially at night. Be vigilant with your belongings.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) service is available for parts of the journey (e.g., from CMS/TBS to Mile 2), offering a dedicated lane for faster travel on that segment. However, there is no direct BRT service from Banana Island to Kirikiri. There is no direct intra-city train service for this specific route.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
