Compiling Route Details...
Moving from the old Mainland hub of Ebute Metta to the modern Island commercial area of Oniru requires crossing from the Mainland to the Island. Because of heavy traffic on the bridges and major Island roads, you need to plan your time well, choose the right mix of yellow buses (Danfo), and prepare for current transport fares that have gone up due to recent fuel price increases.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy morning traffic, leave Ebute Metta before 6:00 AM or wait until off-peak hours from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. For evening return trips, leave Oniru before 4:00 PM or after 8:30 PM to escape the worst gridlock.
Safety Rating
Medium - Be very careful with your phones and bags at Oyingbo, Adekunle, and Costain bus stops, especially in the early mornings and late nights. Pickpockets operate quickly here. Hold your things tightly inside the Danfo and do not use your phone when traffic slows down or at crowded bus stops.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT bus or train line that goes straight from Ebute Metta into Oniru. However, you can use the Blue Line Rail from nearby Marina if you take a connection from Oyingbo, or you can use standard BRT buses from Oyingbo to CMS before entering another bus to Lekki/Oniru.
If traveling between Lagos and mainland extensions via Berger, plan departures before 6:30 AM or after 8:30 PM to bypass heavy bottlenecks at the outward police posts.
