At Oyingbo/Iddo, alight and find another Danfo going to 'CMS' (Marina). This leg will cross the bridge to the Island.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) and late evenings (after 8:00 PM) to avoid the worst of the traffic. Mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) can also be less congested than peak hours.
Safety Rating
Medium. Daytime travel is generally safe. Exercise caution during evening and night travel, especially if alone. Be aware of 'one-chance' syndicates (unmarked vehicles posing as public transport) and pickpockets at crowded bus stops like Oyingbo and CMS. Always use well-lit areas and established bus parks. Commercial vehicle drivers might be stopped by LASTMA/VIO for various checks; ensure you are in a registered public transport vehicle.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available from Yaba to CMS, offering a more structured and often faster option than regular Danfo buses. There is no train service practical for this short intra-city route, nor are local flights an option for this distance.
Shuttle fares from Berger to Mowe fluctuate depending on petrol availability at the Berger junction. Expect standard fares during off-peak morning hours.
