From your exact location within Lekki Phase 2, board a Keke Napep (tricycle) or a local mini-bus (Korope) heading towards the Abraham Adesanya Roundabout on the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Tell the driver 'Abraham Adesanya' or 'Eko Akete'.
At Abraham Adesanya Roundabout, alight and locate the major bus stop. Board a 'large' Danfo or a BRT (if available and suitable for the full length) specifically heading towards 'CMS', 'Obalende', or 'Victoria Island'. Confirm with the conductor that it passes 'Falomo'.
Tell the conductor you are dropping at 'Falomo' or 'Ikoyi Link Bridge'. This is a major interchange point where you will connect into Ikoyi.
From Falomo Bus Stop, you'll need to find a Keke Napep or a shared taxi ('along') heading into Ikoyi. Ask to be dropped at 'Banana Island Gate' or 'Parkview Estate junction' if that's closer to the gate.
Upon reaching the Banana Island Gate, if your specific destination is further inside, you might need to walk, use an internal taxi service (often available at the gate), or a pre-arranged pick-up, as public transport generally does not ply deep inside this exclusive estate.
**Cash is King:** Always carry sufficient smaller denominations of Naira notes (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors often claim 'no change'.
**Traffic Awareness:** Leave early, especially during weekday peak hours (6:00 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM), as traffic on the Lekki-Epe Expressway and towards Ikoyi can be horrendous, significantly increasing travel time.
**Confirm Destination:** Always confirm with the conductor or driver that they are indeed going to your desired drop-off point before boarding, especially for longer routes to avoid misdirection.
Under normal traffic conditions, the journey takes approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes. However, during peak hours (especially weekday mornings and evenings), it can easily extend to 2 to 3 hours due to heavy congestion on the Lekki-Epe Expressway and the approaches to Ikoyi.
Yes, public transport is generally considered safe for daily commuting in Lagos. However, it's always advisable to be aware of your surroundings, keep valuables secure, and avoid late-night travel on public buses. Ride-hailing services typically offer a higher degree of personal safety and convenience for this particular route.
As of, while BRT services operate on parts of the Lekki-Epe Expressway, there isn't a direct BRT route specifically from deep inside Lekki Phase 2 directly to Banana Island. You would typically need to connect to the main BRT corridor from your location and then connect further from Falomo/CMS to Ikoyi, making it a multi-leg journey for public transport users.
