From your location in Ikoyi, take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a 'Danfo' (yellow bus) to Obalende Bus Stop.
At Obalende, look for the BRT terminal. Board a BRT bus heading towards Iyana Oworo or Ketu. Inform the conductor that you are alighting at Iyana Oworo.
From Iyana Oworo, board another BRT or a 'Danfo' heading towards Berger. Ensure the bus is going 'along' the expressway towards Berger.
At Berger, alight at the Ojodu Berger park. From there, take a 'Keke Napep' or a local 'Danfo' shuttle directly into River Valley Estate.
To save time, board BRT buses at designated terminals as they often have dedicated lanes.
Always confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid going off-route.
Keep your BRT card loaded to avoid delays at the terminal.
While 'one-chance' incidents can happen anywhere, they are more commonly reported on less crowded routes or late at night, especially on the expressways leading to Berger. Always choose busy public parks and avoid isolated stops.
For BRT, a BRT card is essential. For 'Danfo' buses and 'Keke Napep', cash is predominantly used. It's advisable to have small denominations of Naira.
Direct 'Danfo' buses from Ikoyi (like Falomo or Obalende) to Berger are rare or non-existent. You will almost certainly need to break your journey at least once, usually at Obalende/CMS and then again at Iyana Oworo or Ojota before Berger.
On 'Danfo' buses and 'Keke Napep', luggage space is very limited. A small bag or backpack is fine. For larger luggage, you might need to pay for an extra seat or consider alternative transport like a private taxi (though not covered in this guide).

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are ideal to avoid peak hour traffic. Mid-day (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM) can also be less congested. Avoid 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, evening travel on the expressways (especially from Berger onwards) requires caution due to 'one-chance' incidents and reduced visibility. Always use reputable public transport and avoid late-night travel if possible.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for significant portions of this route, particularly from Obalende/CMS towards Iyana Oworo and Berger. There is no rail service for this specific intra-city route.
