From your location in Ikoyi (e.g., near Awolowo Road or Falomo), locate a commercial bus (Danfo) park or designated bus stop. Board a Danfo heading towards 'Obalende'. Be vocal and ask 'Obalende?' to confirm with the conductor.

Alight at Obalende Bus Stop. This is a major transit hub where you'll find connecting buses to various mainland destinations. You might need to cross the road or navigate through the busy park.

At Obalende, look for commercial buses heading towards 'Ojuelegba' or 'Fadeyi'. These are prominent gateways into Surulere. Confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding.

Depending on your specific destination in Surulere, you can drop at either 'Fadeyi Bus Stop' or 'Ojuelegba Under Bridge'. Ojuelegba is often considered a more central point within Surulere, offering easier connections.

From Ojuelegba or Fadeyi, if your final destination is deeper within Surulere (e.g., Bode Thomas, Adeniran Ogunsanya, Itire Road), you'll need to board another short Danfo or a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a 'Okada' (motorcycle taxi, if permitted on that route). Clearly state your exact street or landmark.
