From your starting point in Ipakodo, walk or take a short 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) ride to the nearest BRT bus stop along Ikorodu Road.
Board a BRT bus heading towards CMS/TBS (Tafawa Balewa Square). These buses are usually red or blue.
Alight at the CMS BRT Terminal.
From CMS, look for a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) or 'Korope' (small bus) heading to Victoria Island (VI) / Eko Hotel Roundabout / Adeola Odeku.
Alight at Adeola Odeku Street. From there, you can walk a short distance or take another 'Keke Napep' to Agoro Odiyan Street.
BRT buses are generally safer and more organized. They have dedicated lanes, which can save time during traffic.
Buy a BRT card if you plan to use it frequently; it can be more convenient.
Be aware of your belongings, especially in crowded terminals like CMS.
Travel very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or during off-peak hours (between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM). Using the BRT system can also help as it utilizes dedicated lanes for much of the Ikorodu Road stretch.
Key bus stops include Ipakodo Terminal, Mile 12, Ojota, Maryland, Fadeyi, Jibowu, Yaba, Oyingbo, and CMS. For Victoria Island, look for stops around Eko Hotel Roundabout or Adeola Odeku Street.
Traveling at night carries higher risks. If you must travel at night, opt for well-lit, busy BRT terminals or reputable commercial parks. Avoid isolated stops. It's generally advisable to complete your journey before 8:00 PM if using public transport due to 'one-chance' concerns.
For public transport (BRT or Danfo), budget between ₦900 and ₦1500 for a one-way trip, excluding any short 'Keke' rides. Always carry smaller denominations of Naira notes for easier transactions.
LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and VIO (Vehicle Inspection Office) operate heavily around major intersections and bridges. Expect their presence around Ojota, Maryland, Jibowu, Eko Bridge approaches, and key roads in Victoria Island. They primarily target commercial vehicles for traffic violations.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's peak hour traffic. Afternoons from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM can also be less congested. Avoid 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium. While daylight travel is generally safe, be cautious. 'One-chance' incidents can occur, especially in commercial buses late at night or with unfamiliar drivers. Pickpocketing is common in crowded bus stops and buses. Always be alert and avoid displaying valuables.
BRT / Rail / Water
