From your location in Ikoyi, take a 'Keke' (tricycle) or a local 'Danfo' bus to CMS (Costain/Marina/Tafawa Balewa Square).
At CMS, locate the BRT terminal. Board a BRT bus heading towards Oshodi. Ensure you have a Cowry Card or purchase one at the terminal.
Alight at the Oshodi BRT Terminal. From there, you can easily connect to various parts of Oshodi-Isolo via local 'Keke' or 'Danfo'.
Purchase a Cowry Card for BRT travel to avoid delays.
BRT buses have dedicated lanes, making them generally faster and more predictable.
Avoid the BRT during extreme peak hours if you prefer less crowded buses.
Travel time can range from 45 minutes to 2 hours or more, heavily depending on traffic conditions and the time of day.
It's generally not recommended to use 'Danfo' buses or 'Keke' for late-night travel due to increased safety risks, including 'one-chance' incidents. If you must travel at night, use trusted means or avoid isolated stops.
For BRT, you'll need a Cowry Card, which can be loaded with cash. For 'Danfo' buses and 'Keke', cash payment is standard. Debit cards or online payments are not typically accepted.
Most public 'Danfo' buses are yellow with black stripes. They usually have their destination written on the front or side. Always confirm with the conductor.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are mid-morning (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) or late evening (after 8:00 PM) to avoid peak hour traffic. Avoid 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. Day travel is generally safe with standard precautions. Evening and late-night travel, especially using public 'Danfo' buses or 'Keke', carries a higher risk of petty theft and 'one-chance' incidents. Always use well-lit, busy bus stops and terminals.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a major and reliable public transport option for this route, with dedicated lanes for faster travel. The Lagos Red and Blue Rail lines are under development and not yet a direct, fully operational alternative for this specific intracity route.
