From Banana Island, take a 'keke' (tricycle) or a 'Danfo' going to Falomo or Obalende Bus Stop.
At Falomo or Obalende, find a 'Danfo' heading directly to Mile 2. Confirm with the conductor that it's going to Mile 2.
From Mile 2, locate the 'Danfo' park for buses going along the Badagry Expressway. Board a 'Danfo' or 'minibus' heading towards Okokomaiko or Badagry. Confirm 'Volks Bus Stop' with the conductor before boarding.
Enter 'short-trip' buses to beat the long queue at major bus stops, even if it means paying slightly more.
Always confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding, especially at Mile 2, as buses can take different routes.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses and bus stops.
It is generally not advisable to travel alone to Volks Bus Stop at night, especially after 8:00 PM, due to increased 'one-chance' risks on the Badagry Expressway. If unavoidable, use well-lit public bus stops, stay alert, and consider sharing your location with a trusted contact.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic. Avoid traveling between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM if possible, as traffic is usually heaviest then.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, evening travel, especially on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway beyond Mile 2, carries a 'one-chance' risk. Always try to travel during daylight hours and use well-lit, busy bus stops.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant portion of this route, offering a more structured and often faster option compared to regular Danfo buses, especially from CMS/Obalende to Mile 2. There is no train service for this intra-city route.
