This transport guide shows you the best, cheapest, and fastest ways to move from Makoko to Oniru. It covers the popular yellow buses (Danfo), alternative express connections, and private rides.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the heavy morning rush, try to leave Makoko between 6:00 AM and 6:30 AM. If you miss that window, it is better to wait until the off-peak period starting from 10:00 AM when the traffic on the bridge and inside Ikoyi has reduced.
Safety Rating
Medium - You must stay sharp and alert, especially around heavy bus terminals like Adekunle under-bridge and Obalende. Watch your pockets to avoid pickpockets. If you are moving early in the morning or late at night, avoid walking in dark, lonely corners. Keep your phone inside your bag when boarding a Danfo.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT lane or train service running straight from Makoko to Oniru. However, regulated large buses (Lagos Bus Reform Initiative) pass through nearby Obalende and connect towards the Island.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
