Traveling from the upscale Ikoyi area to Abaranje, a residential area in Igando-Ikotun LCDA, involves navigating through some of Lagos's busiest transport hubs. This journey typically requires multiple public transport changes, often starting with a feeder route to a major bus terminal like CMS or Oshodi, then connecting to Ikotun, and finally taking a 'short' ride to Abaranje. Expect significant traffic and plan your travel time carefully.

From Ikoyi (e.g., Falomo, Obalende), take a Danfo or Keke Napep to CMS Bus Stop.
At CMS, board a BRT bus or a regular Danfo heading to Oshodi Terminal.
From Oshodi Terminal, find a direct Danfo bus going to Ikotun.
At Ikotun Bus Stop, take a Keke Napep or a 'short' Danfo going into Abaranje.
At Oshodi, use the designated BRT lanes if possible to save time. Be wary of pickpockets in crowded areas.
For the Ikotun-Abaranje leg, confirm the specific part of Abaranje you're going to with the Keke driver, as it's a large area.
If you encounter LASTMA/VIO officials, especially around Oshodi, be patient as they manage traffic flow.
For Danfo buses, you can typically carry a small bag or backpack. Larger luggage might require paying for an extra seat or finding a commercial bus (like a Sienna charter) which is not a regular public transport option for this short distance. Keke Napeps have limited space, usually for one medium-sized bag.
Yes, especially from major hubs like Oshodi or Mile 2. You can sometimes take a 'short' Danfo to an intermediate stop like Iyana-Isolo or Ejigbo and then another 'short' Danfo to Ikotun. This might save a small amount but often takes more time due to extra waiting and transfers. The Ikotun to Abaranje leg is already a 'short-trip' system.
Traffic is a common part of Lagos travel. Stay calm, keep your belongings secure, and use the opportunity to observe local life. Have some water and snacks ready. If you're on a BRT, you might move faster than regular traffic.
BRT buses are easily identifiable by their distinct red, blue, or green colors and dedicated bus stops. Danfo buses are typically yellow with black stripes. They usually have their destination written on the front or side. Keke Napeps are usually yellow or green tricycles.

Safety Rating
Medium. While main routes are generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents can occur, especially when traveling late at night or using less crowded vehicles. Always use designated bus stops and avoid isolated areas. Abaranje, being a residential area, is generally safe but can be quiet in parts after dark.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of the journey, specifically from CMS/TBS to Oshodi or Mile 2. There is no train service available for this specific inter-Lagos route.
