This guide provides practical public transport options for travelers moving from Banana Island to Parkview Estate, both located within Ikoyi, Lagos. While it's a short distance, direct public transport is not available due to the exclusive nature of both areas, requiring a few transfers using Keke (tricycle) and Danfo (minibus).

Exit Banana Island: From your location within Banana Island, make your way to the main Banana Island Gate. Public Keke (tricycles) are usually available just outside the gate.
Take a Keke from Banana Island Gate to Falomo Roundabout. Confirm the price with the Keke driver before boarding.
At Falomo, look for Danfo (yellow minibuses) heading towards 'Awolowo Road' or 'Secretariat'. Board one of these and inform the conductor you are going to Parkview Estate (usually the Gerrard Road gate or near Federal Secretariat).
Alight at the Parkview Estate gate or the nearest bus stop on Awolowo Road and walk into the estate. If your destination is deep inside, you might need another short Keke ride within the estate, though walking is often feasible.
Always negotiate your Keke fare before starting your journey to avoid disputes.
For Danfo, listen carefully to the conductor calling out destinations. If unsure, ask politely.
Have exact change ready for Danfo fares to make transactions smoother.
While the distance is relatively short (around 3.8 km), walking the entire way is not recommended due to the heat, heavy traffic, and inconsistent pedestrian infrastructure in some parts of Ikoyi. It's much more comfortable and safer to use a combination of Keke and Danfo.
No, there are no direct public buses or BRT services that run directly into or between Banana Island and Parkview Estate due to their exclusive nature. You will always need to use a combination of Keke and Danfo with transfers at key points like Falomo or Keffi.
To save money, try to walk short distances where it's safe and feasible (e.g., from your exact pickup point to Banana Island Gate, or from the final bus stop into Parkview Estate). Also, always negotiate Keke fares before you board, and use Danfo for longer legs as they are generally cheaper than Keke.
