Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From McEwen Street, walk a short distance (about 5-10 minutes) to the main Herbert Macaulay Way. Alternatively, take a 'Keke' (tricycle) to Sabo Yaba or Yaba Bus Stop.
At Sabo Yaba or Yaba Bus Stop, board a 'Danfo' (mini-bus) heading towards Obalende. Confirm with the conductor before boarding. This bus will take you across the Third Mainland Bridge.
Alight at Obalende Bus Stop (just after descending the Third Mainland Bridge). From here, look for another 'Danfo' or 'Keke' going into Ikoyi, specifically towards areas like Ikoyi Club Road, Falomo, or Awolowo Road.
Tell the driver/conductor your exact destination in Ikoyi. You might need to alight at a major junction and walk a short distance or take another short 'Keke' ride.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the Third Mainland Bridge and Obalende traffic. Mid-afternoons (between 2:00 PM and 3:30 PM) can also be less congested. Avoid peak hours between 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium. For daytime travel, the route is generally safe. However, like any major city, exercise caution. Avoid displaying valuables openly. For evening travel, the safety rating drops to 'Low' due to increased risk of petty crime. Always try to travel in groups or use known, reliable transport options. 'One-chance' incidents are rare on this specific intra-city route but general awareness is advised, especially if boarding unknown vehicles at night.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available partially. You can use BRT from Yaba to CMS (which passes Obalende), but you'll likely need to transfer to a Danfo or Keke from Obalende to reach specific parts of Ikoyi. There is no rail service directly connecting Mcewen Street to Ikoyi for this short distance.
Shuttle fares from Berger to Mowe fluctuate depending on petrol availability at the Berger junction. Expect standard fares during off-peak morning hours.
