From Banana Island, take a Keke Napep or a 'short-trip' Danfo bus to Falomo or Obalende.
At Falomo or Obalende, locate the BRT terminal. Board a BRT bus heading to Oshodi.
Alight at Oshodi. Look for Danfo buses heading to Egbeda or Iyana-Ipaja. Enter one going to Egbeda.
From Egbeda Bus Stop, take a 'short-trip' Danfo or Keke Napep directly to Shasha.
Buy a Cowry Card for BRT travel; it's more convenient and sometimes slightly cheaper than cash tickets.
At Oshodi, be firm with touts and ask for the specific bus destination loudly. Don't let them rush you.
LASTMA/VIO are often visible around Falomo and Oshodi; ensure your bus driver isn't violating traffic rules to avoid delays.
Travel very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or during off-peak hours (between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM). The BRT lane offers some relief from traffic on its dedicated path.
Traveling at night carries higher risks, especially in areas like Oshodi and Iyana-Ipaja. If you must travel at night, use well-lit, busy bus stops and avoid isolated areas. Consider a trusted private taxi if possible for night travel.
A 'short-trip' bus refers to a Danfo bus that covers a shorter segment of a longer route, often used for connecting between major bus stops or within a specific neighborhood. They are useful for breaking down long journeys into manageable legs.
Yes, but be discreet, especially in crowded areas or when stuck in traffic. Avoid openly displaying expensive phones or gadgets to reduce the risk of snatching.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are ideal to avoid peak traffic. Late evenings (after 8:00 PM) can be less congested but also carry higher safety risks in certain areas.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, evening travel, especially through Oshodi and Iyana-Ipaja axis, requires extra caution. 'One-chance' syndicates can operate, so always use well-populated bus stops and avoid displaying valuables. Be aware of your surroundings.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT is available for a significant portion of this journey (Obalende/CMS to Oshodi). There is no rail option directly serving this route.
