At Falomo Underbridge, board a 'Danfo' bus (the yellow commercial mini-buses) heading towards Victoria Island (VI). Look for buses going to 'Eko Hotel Roundabout' or 'Bar Beach'. Always confirm with the conductor that they are going towards Ozumba Mbadiwe or Adeola Odeku.
Alight at a convenient bus stop on Ozumba Mbadiwe (e.g., near Eko Hotel, Zenith Bank HQ) or Adeola Odeku, depending on how close it gets you to Bishop Aboyade Cole Street. From there, you can either walk or take a short 'Keke' or another 'Danfo' for the final leg.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late evenings (after 7:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's traffic. Mid-day (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) can also be manageable, though still expect some delays.
Safety Rating
Medium. This route is generally safe during the day due to its busy and central nature. However, always be aware of your surroundings, especially for pickpockets in crowded buses or bus stops. Avoid displaying valuables openly. While 'one-chance' scenarios are less common on this specific short, high-traffic route, it's always wise to be vigilant when using public transport, particularly if boarding from less busy spots or late at night.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) route from Dolphin Estate to Bishop Aboyade Cole. However, you can leverage BRT services by first getting to Falomo and then potentially taking a BRT bus along Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue for a portion of the journey. This would still require further walking or another short bus/Keke ride to reach Bishop Aboyade Cole. There is no train service available for this intra-city route.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
