Moving from Computer Village in Ikeja to Victoria Island takes you from the busy mainland market area to the main business hub on the island. Because of heavy traffic on the Third Mainland Bridge and major road junctions, this trip can take anywhere from 1 hour to nearly 3 hours depending on when you move. Commuters can choose between direct yellow buses (Danfo), connecting routes through CMS, or using ride-hailing apps for a more comfortable ride.

Walk out of Computer Village to the Ikeja Under-Bridge bus stop.
Board a direct yellow Danfo bus going to CMS bus stop.
Drop at CMS, cross the pedestrian bridge, and find the buses heading into Victoria Island.
Enter another short-distance Danfo or a Keke going to Eko Hotel or Falomo inside Victoria Island.
Always hold your change (smaller naira notes) before you enter the Danfo to avoid issues with the bus conductor.
Keep your bag in front of you at CMS bus stop because pickpockets operate quickly in crowded spaces.
If you cannot find a direct CMS bus at Ikeja, take a short bus to Maryland first, then take a CMS bus from there.
Ask the conductor exactly where the bus is stopping before you step inside.
If you are using public Danfo buses, expect to spend between ₦1,800 and ₦3,200 in total for a one-way trip, depending on the exact route and current fuel prices. If you use a ride-hailing car app, it will cost between ₦9,000 and ₦15,000.
The absolute fastest way is to leave Ikeja very early, latest 6:00 AM. Once it is past 6:30 AM, traffic builds up at Maryland and the Third Mainland Bridge approach, which will add an extra 1 to 2 hours to your journey.
Yes, Keke Marwas operate heavily from CMS and Obalende parks into major areas of Victoria Island like Adeola Odeku, Akin Adesola, and Eko Hotel roundabouts, but they are restricted from entering certain inner residential estates.
Stay in well-lit areas where there are many people and active bus conductors. Do not stand alone on the dark sides of the pedestrian bridge. Board any bus going towards Mainland/Ikeja quickly, or use a ride-hailing app from a secure spot like a filling station or bank entrance.
