Compiling Route Details...
Moving from the quiet, high-brow area of Ikoyi to the highly populated, busy hub of Ikotun means crossing from Lagos Island to the deep Mainland. This journey can take anywhere from 1.5 hours to over 3.5 hours depending entirely on the heavy Lagos traffic. Because of current high fuel prices, transport costs have gone up significantly, so you need to prepare well before stepping out.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the worst traffic, leave Ikoyi before 6:00 AM for morning trips. For afternoon or evening trips, try to move between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Avoid travelling between 4:30 PM and 8:30 PM unless you are ready to sit in long traffic jams.
Safety Rating
Medium - You must remain highly alert, especially at major mainland bus stops like Obalende and Oshodi. Keep your phones and wallets deep inside your bags, avoid counting cash in public, and do not board unbranded buses (One-Chance) at night.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT lane or train service from Ikoyi to Ikotun. However, you can use the standard BRT buses from Obalende to Oshodi, or take the Blue Line Rail from Marina to Mile 2 if you choose an alternative route, then connect to Ikotun via standard commercial buses.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
