This is a detailed, practical guide for traveling from Ojo on the mainland to Falomo in Ikoyi on the island. The journey takes you across the length of Lagos through major transport corridors, moving from the outer mainland, crossing the lagoon, and entering the high-brow commercial zone of Ikoyi. Due to recent fuel price increases hitting over β¦1,300 per liter, transport costs have gone up significantly, making careful route planning essential.

Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Board a local Danfo or take a short Keke ride from your specific area in Ojo to the main bus stop at Ojo Barracks or Mile 2.
From Mile 2, enter a direct Danfo heading to CMS or board the Lagos Blue Line Train to the Marina terminal which is much faster.
Drop at CMS and walk toward the Obalende park or cross the under-bridge to board a direct Danfo going straight to Falomo / Ikoyi.
Disembark at the Falomo bus stop right under the bridge close to the commercial buildings.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the extreme Lagos morning traffic gridlock, it is best to depart Ojo between 5:00 AM and 5:45 AM. For the evening return trip, leave Falomo before 4:00 PM or delay your movement until after 8:00 PM when the initial closing-hour rush settles down.
Safety Rating
Medium - Commuters must remain highly vigilant. Pickpocketing and bag-snatching by 'one-chance' syndicates or area boys are common at busy parks like Mile 2, Orile, and CMS. Avoid flashing phones or carrying large cash openly.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes. The Lagos Blue Line Rail is fully operational from Mile 2 down to Marina. There are also standard LAMATA BRT buses running along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway to Mile 2, and from CMS to various parts of the Island.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
