Traveling from Ikoyi in Lagos Island to Aboru in Alimosho Local Government Area involves navigating through central Lagos and then heading towards the mainland's northern parts. This journey typically requires multiple public transport hops due to the distance and the nature of Lagos's public transport network. Expect significant traffic, especially during peak hours.

From your location in Ikoyi, take a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading towards Obalende or CMS.
At Obalende or CMS, find a 'Danfo' going to Oshodi Underbridge or Oshodi Oke.
From Oshodi Underbridge, locate 'Danfos' heading to Iyana-Ipaja.
At Iyana-Ipaja, take a 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) directly to Aboru.
To save time, especially at Oshodi, look for 'short-trip' buses that are filling up quickly, even if they don't go all the way to your next major stop. You might pay slightly more but avoid long waits.
Always confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way.
Keep your belongings secure, especially at crowded bus stops like Oshodi and Iyana-Ipaja.
No, there are no direct public buses (Danfo or BRT) that go straight from Ikoyi to Aboru. You will need to take multiple buses and change at major transport hubs like Obalende/CMS, Oshodi, or Iyana-Ipaja.
LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and VIO (Vehicle Inspection Officers) hotspots are areas where these officials are frequently present, checking vehicle documents and enforcing traffic rules. To avoid issues, ensure the vehicle you board appears roadworthy, and the driver is not driving recklessly. Public transport drivers usually know these spots and try to comply, but passengers should still be aware.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) on weekdays. For evenings, avoid traveling between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Weekends generally have lighter traffic, with Saturday mornings being the best time.
Safety Rating
Medium. While public transport from designated parks is generally safe, 'one-chance' operations (where criminals pose as public transport operators) can occur, especially in isolated areas or late at night. Pickpocketing is also common in crowded bus stops. It's best to travel during the day and use well-known transport parks.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant portion of this route, specifically from CMS/TBS to Iyana-Ipaja, offering a more structured and often faster option for that segment. There is no direct train service for this intracity route.
