Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Odonla, find a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) or shared taxi heading towards Sagamu Road.
At Sagamu Road, board another Danfo heading towards Ikorodu Road. Ask for buses going to 'Mile 12' or 'Ketu'.
From Mile 12 or Ketu, take a Danfo going to 'Obalende'. This bus will navigate through Ikorodu Road and the Third Mainland Bridge.
At Obalende, look for a Danfo or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) heading towards 'Ikoyi' or 'Banana Island Gate'.
Once at Banana Island Gate, you may need to take another Keke or walk to your specific address within Banana Island, as not all public transport enters deep into the estate.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are mid-morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or early afternoon (2:00 PM - 3:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos' peak hour traffic. Weekends, especially Sundays, generally offer faster travel times.
Safety Rating
Medium. The journey involves long stretches of highway and busy city roads. 'One-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed or kidnapped in commercial vehicles) are a risk, especially on less populated routes or at night. Always board vehicles at recognized bus stops and avoid isolated areas. Pickpocketing can occur in crowded buses and terminals. It is NOT advisable to travel at night (after 7:00 PM) for this route due to increased security risks.
