Board a 'Danfo' (yellow bus) or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) going to Yaba Bus Stop/BRT Terminal. Confirm with the conductor that they are going to 'Yaba'.
At Yaba BRT Terminal, purchase a BRT card or ensure you have enough credit. Board a BRT bus clearly marked 'CMS' or 'Marina'. Ask the BRT staff if unsure.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic. Afternoons from 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM can also be less congested. Avoid 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM - 7:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos public transport is generally safe, but 'one-chance' incidents can occur, especially in less crowded areas or late at night. Always be aware of your surroundings and avoid displaying valuables. Pickpocketing is common in crowded market areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT is a highly recommended option for part of this route, offering a more structured and often faster journey. There is no direct rail service for this specific intra-city route.
Bypass the Ikeja Under-Bridge corridor from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Traffic builds rapidly due to commercial buses loading along the main road lanes.
