Head to one of the main bus stop points in Ikoyi, such as Falomo Underbridge or the Obalende Link Bridge bus stop. These are major departure points for buses heading towards Lagos Island.

Board a commercial bus (Danfo) clearly marked 'CMS' or 'Marina'. Before boarding, confirm the destination with the conductor ('CMS lo n lo?' - 'Is it going to CMS?').

The bus will travel along Awolowo Road, pass through Onikan, and eventually cross one of the bridges onto Lagos Island. Be attentive and ready to alight as you approach CMS, which is a major interchange.

Alight at CMS Bus Stop. From here, Balogun Market is a short walk away. Ask for directions to 'Balogun Idumota' or simply 'Balogun Market' to get your bearings in the busy environment.

Navigate through the bustling streets. You can walk straight through Broad Street or Marina, taking any of the inner turns that lead into the extensive market hub. If you prefer a quicker, short ride into the market's deeper sections, look for a Keke Napep (tricycle) or a commercial motorcycle (Okada, though restricted in some parts).

You will find yourself amidst the vibrant sections of Balogun Market, renowned for textiles, fashion items, and various general goods. Specific areas include Idumota, Oke Arin, and the main Balogun Street itself.
