From Demurin, walk to the nearest main road or take a short Keke Napep (tricycle) ride to the Ketu or Mile 12 bus stop on Ikorodu Road. Look for yellow buses (Danfo) heading towards Ketu or Ojota.
At Ketu or Ojota, locate the bus park for buses going to Obalende. Board a yellow bus (Danfo) heading to Obalende. These buses will cross the Third Mainland Bridge.
From Obalende, find another yellow bus (Danfo) or a Keke Napep going to Ikoyi. Specify 'Ikoyi Link Bridge' or 'Banana Island Gate'. You might need a final short ride (Keke or local taxi) from the main Ikoyi road into Banana Island itself, as public transport generally drops off at the gate.
Always board Danfos from recognized bus stops or parks to minimize 'one-chance' risks.
Keep your belongings secure and be mindful of pickpockets, especially in crowded buses.
Confirm your destination and fare before boarding.
Be prepared for potential delays due to traffic; carry water and snacks.
No, there are no direct public transport options from Demurin to Banana Island. You will need to make at least two transfers using yellow buses (Danfo) or a combination of BRT and Danfo/Keke Napep.
While major roads are generally busy, public transport can be risky late at night due to 'one-chance' incidents. It's advisable to complete your journey before 8:00 PM or consider a trusted ride-hailing service if traveling later.
Yellow buses (Danfo) have limited space; large luggage might be difficult to manage, especially during crowded times. BRT buses offer a bit more space. For very large items, a chartered local taxi might be more suitable, though it's not a public transport option.
Yes, to use the BRT service, you must have a Cowry card. These cards can be bought and recharged at any BRT terminal or major BRT bus stop.
No, there are no local flight or train options for traveling within Lagos from Demurin to Banana Island. The journey is entirely by road.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of Lagos peak hour traffic. Mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) offers relatively lighter traffic. Avoid peak evening hours (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents (unlicensed vehicles used for robbery) can occur. Pickpocketing is common in crowded buses and bus stops. Exercise caution, especially late in the evening.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant portion of this route (along Ikorodu Road to CMS/Obalende), offering a faster and more structured option. There is no train service available for this specific intra-city route.
