Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Ikoyi, take a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading to 'Obalende' or 'CMS'. If already at Obalende, proceed to the next step.
At Obalende, board a 'Danfo' going to 'Oshodi Under Bridge' or 'Oshodi Terminal'. Ensure it's not a 'short-trip' bus ending earlier. Alternatively, you can take a BRT bus from Obalende/CMS to Oshodi for a more comfortable ride.
From Oshodi (look for buses heading towards 'Iyana-Ipaja' or 'Abeokuta'), find a 'Danfo' going to 'Iyana-Ipaja'. These buses are usually found at the main Oshodi park.
At Iyana-Ipaja, cross to the other side of the road (if needed) and take a 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) heading towards 'Kola Bus Stop' or 'Toll Gate'. Kola is just before the Toll Gate.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6 AM) or late mornings (after 10 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the traffic. Similarly, late afternoons (after 7 PM) can be less congested than early evenings.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day using public transport, 'one-chance' vehicles (unmarked commercial vehicles used by criminals) are a risk. Be wary of strangers, especially when traveling at night. Pickpocketing can occur at crowded bus stops.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of this route, specifically from Obalende/CMS to Oshodi. There is no rail option directly connecting Ikoyi to Kola.
The Oshodi multi-terminal is highly secure, but pickpockets operate on the outer pedestrian bridges. Keep phones and wallets zipped in inner pockets.
