Head to the Obalende BRT Terminal. This is a prominent, well-organized bus park and terminal easily accessible from various points in Obalende.
Purchase a BRT card or a paper ticket for your journey. Ensure it is topped up or valid for your destination. If you already have a BRT card, ensure it has sufficient credit.
Board a BRT bus clearly marked for 'Oworonshoki', 'Iyana Oworo', or 'Berger'. Always confirm the destination with the bus attendant if you are unsure.
The bus will travel across the Third Mainland Bridge. Your stop is Iyana Oworo. Alight at the Iyana Oworo BRT stop, which is a major junction and hard to miss.
From the Iyana Oworo BRT stop, you can walk to your final destination if it's nearby, or take a 'Keke' (tricycle) or another 'Danfo' for shorter distances within Iyana Oworo or Oworonshoki.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is during off-peak hours, typically mid-morning (10 AM - 12 PM) or early afternoon (2 PM - 4 PM), to avoid the worst of Lagos traffic. Travel times can easily double or triple during peak rush hours (6 AM - 9 AM and 4 PM - 7 PM).
Safety Rating
Medium. While BRT is generally considered safer due to its structured nature, local 'Danfo' buses can sometimes be associated with 'one-chance' risks, especially when traveling alone or late at night. Always be aware of your surroundings, avoid displaying valuables, and trust your instincts.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is readily available and highly recommended for this specific intra-city route. There is no train service that covers this short distance within Lagos.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
