Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Go to Ikotun Roundabout Bus Stop and look for a Danfo (yellow bus) heading to Oshodi.
Board the Danfo. The journey will take you through areas like Egbeda, Iyana-Ipaja, Dopemu, and Agege Motor Road before reaching Oshodi. This segment can be very slow due to traffic.
At Oshodi, alight and find another Danfo going to Obalende. Ask drivers or conductors for 'Obalende'.
Board the Obalende-bound Danfo. This bus will likely use the Third Mainland Bridge. Alight at Obalende Under Bridge.
From Obalende Under Bridge, find a Keke Napep (tricycle) or a shared mini-bus ('Korope') heading into Ikoyi. Specify your exact destination in Ikoyi (e.g., Falomo, Awolowo Road, Glover Road).
