Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From your specific location in Ikorodu, head to a major bus stop along Ikorodu Road (e.g., Ikorodu Garage, Agric Bus Stop, Owode). Board a commercial yellow bus (danfo) that clearly indicates 'Mile 12' or 'Ketu' as its destination.
Alight at Mile 12 Market. This is a significant interchange. You will need to carefully cross the main Ikorodu Road to the opposite side to continue your journey towards the Island.
At the Mile 12 Motor Park area (often found under the Mile 12 bridge or nearby bus shelters), look for and board a larger commercial bus (could be a BRT feeder bus or another large danfo) explicitly heading towards 'Obalende' or 'CMS'. Confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding.
The bus will take the Third Mainland Bridge, offering panoramic views of the Lagos lagoon. Your drop-off point will be the busy Obalende Bus Stop, a major transport hub on Lagos Island.
From Obalende, you have a couple of options for the final leg to TBS. You can board a local 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a smaller 'Danfo short' shuttle that runs directly to Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS).
Alternatively, if traffic is light or you prefer a short walk, TBS is only about a 10-15 minute walk from Obalende, proceeding along the Outer Marina road.
