Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Ewu Elepe, board a 'Danfo' (yellow mini-bus) heading towards Ikorodu Garage.
At Ikorodu Garage, alight and find another 'Danfo' going to Mile 12 or Ketu. Confirm with the conductor that it's heading to one of these major stops on Ikorodu Road.
From Mile 12 or Ketu, board a 'Danfo' heading towards Obalende. This bus will cross the Third Mainland Bridge. Ensure the destination is 'Obalende'.
At Obalende, look for a smaller 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) heading to Falomo or Ikoyi Link Bridge. You might need to specify 'Falomo Bridge' or 'Ikoyi Hotel' as your destination.
From Falomo/Ikoyi Link Bridge, you can take a 'Keke Napep' or a local yellow taxi directly into Banana Island. Be aware that some 'Keke' might only drop you at the main Banana Island gate, requiring a short walk or another taxi inside.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are very early morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning/early afternoon (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) to avoid the heaviest traffic. Avoid traveling during the evening rush hour (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible, as journey times can easily double.
Safety Rating
Medium. While public transport in Lagos is generally widely used, long journeys with multiple transfers can increase exposure to risks. Always be alert, keep your belongings secure, and avoid isolated bus stops, especially after dark. Be cautious of 'one-chance' syndicates, which sometimes operate by posing as public transport. Always board vehicles at designated, busy bus stops.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a major public transport option for a significant part of this journey, specifically from Ikorodu to Lagos Island (TBS). There is no direct rail service available for this route.
