At CMS/TBS, locate the BRT terminal or public bus park. Board a BRT bus or a large Danfo heading to Oshodi. The BRT is usually faster.
From Oshodi, specifically around the Oshodi Underbridge or the main park, find a Danfo bus clearly marked 'Iyana Ipaja'. Confirm the destination with the conductor.
At Iyana Ipaja, you will find 'Keke Napep' (tricycles) and smaller buses (Danfos) going into Isheri Olofin. Confirm your exact destination within Isheri Olofin with the driver/conductor.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are during off-peak hours: late morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or early afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM). Avoid peak rush hours (6:00 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM - 8:00 PM) as traffic can extend travel time significantly. Traveling very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) can also drastically reduce travel time.
Safety Rating
Medium. While major public transport routes are generally safe during the day, exercise caution, especially when traveling very late at night (after 9 PM). 'One-chance' incidents, where criminals pose as commercial vehicle operators to rob passengers, are a known risk. Always use established bus stops and well-populated public transport. Pickpocketing can occur in crowded areas like Oshodi and Iyana Ipaja; keep valuables secure and out of sight.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for significant portions of this route, specifically from Lekki to CMS/TBS and from CMS/TBS to Oshodi. This offers a more structured and often faster transport option. There is no operational intracity rail service directly serving this specific point-to-point route at present.
If traveling between Lagos and mainland extensions via Berger, plan departures before 6:30 AM or after 8:30 PM to bypass heavy bottlenecks at the outward police posts.
