Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Mcewen Street, walk a short distance to Herbert Macaulay Way. Look for the Yaba bus stop area (e.g., 'PZ bus stop' or 'Oyingbo Under Bridge' bound buses).
Board a 'Danfo' (yellow bus) heading towards Oyingbo or Iddo. Confirm destination with the conductor.
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.
