Moving from Bariga to Victoria Island (VI) means traveling from the Lagos Mainland to the Island. Because of heavy traffic on the Third Mainland Bridge and inside Victoria Island, a trip that should take about thirty minutes can easily stretch to over an hour and a half during rush hours. Commuters have to use a mix of yellow commercial buses (Danfos), corporate buses, or ride-hailing cars to make this daily journey.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the morning rush, leave Bariga between 5:30 AM and 6:15 AM. If you leave after 6:30 AM, you will get stuck in heavy traffic on the Third Mainland Bridge. For the evening return trip, leave Victoria Island before 4:00 PM or wait until after 8:00 PM when the bottleneck traffic at Falomo and the bridge approach has cleared up.
Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally busy and safe during the day, but you must stay alert. Pickpockets are very common at crowded bus stops like Bariga Under-Bridge, Yaba, and Obalende. Keep your phone and wallet inside your bag, and avoid showing off cash. At night, hold your belongings tightly and stay in well-lit areas where many people are waiting.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT bus or Train line that goes straight from Bariga to Victoria Island. However, you can take a local bus to Yaba or Ikorodu Road to access the BRT lanes, or take a Danfo to Obalende where you can connect easily to Victoria Island.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
