Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From your location in Bucknor, take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a local 'Danfo' (yellow bus) heading towards Ejigbo. Ask to alight at Ejigbo Market Bus Stop or Ejigbo Under Bridge.
At Ejigbo Market Bus Stop, look for a 'Danfo' bus heading to Oshodi. Confirm 'Oshodi' with the bus conductor before boarding. You will pass through Isolo.
At Oshodi, you'll arrive at the main Oshodi Bus Terminal. Find a 'Danfo' heading to 'CMS' (Central Business District) or 'TBS' (Tafawa Balewa Square). These buses typically use the Third Mainland Bridge.
From CMS or TBS, cross the road to the bus stop for buses heading to 'Obalende' or 'Ikoyi'. Take a 'Danfo' going towards 'Falomo' or 'Ikoyi'. You will likely pass through Awolowo Road.
Alight at Falomo Bridge or a convenient stop on Awolowo Road in Ikoyi. From there, take a 'Keke Napep' or another short 'Danfo' ride directly to Banana Island Gate.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's peak hour traffic. Mid-day (11:00 AM - 3:00 PM) is also generally better.
Safety Rating
Medium. While using established public transport routes during the day is generally safe, always be aware of your surroundings. Avoid displaying valuables openly. Night travel on public 'Danfos' can carry higher risks ('one-chance' incidents, though less common on these specific routes).
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of this route, specifically from Oshodi to TBS. There is no intra-city rail service connecting Bucknor to Banana 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.
