Moving from the busy market hub of Ketu Mile 12 on the mainland to the high-brow, exclusive Banana Island in Ikoyi is a long journey. It cuts across major parts of Lagos. Because of high fuel prices, the cost of transport has gone up significantly. To survive this route without breaking the bank or getting stuck in traffic for hours, you need to understand the right connection points, the best time to move, and how to combine different public buses (Danfo), BRT buses, and kekes (tricycles).

Best Time to Travel
To beat the worst traffic, leave Mile 12 between 5:30 AM and 6:00 AM for morning trips. If you travel during off-peak hours, 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM is quite free. For evening return trips from Banana Island, try to leave either before 4:00 PM or delay your movement until after 8:30 PM to avoid getting stuck on Falomo Bridge and Third Mainland Bridge.
Safety Rating
Medium - The mainland parts like Mile 12 and Obalende are very rowdy and attract pickpockets, especially in the early mornings and late nights. Hold your phone and wallet tightly, and avoid counting money in the open. Once you cross into Ikoyi and approach the Banana Island gate, the safety rating becomes very High because of heavy private security guards and restricted entry.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, BRT is fully available from Mile 12 terminal down to Fadeyi or CMS, which helps you bypass some traffic on Ikorodu Road. There is no direct passenger rail line linking Mile 12 to Ikoyi yet.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
