From Osborne Foreshore, take a Keke Napep or Danfo bus to Obalende or CMS.
At Obalende or CMS, look for a BRT bus or a long Danfo bus heading to 'Ikorodu Garage' or 'Ikorodu Roundabout'. Ensure it's a direct bus to Ikorodu.
Once you arrive at Ikorodu Garage, take another Keke Napep or a short Danfo bus going to 'Ipakodo Ferry Terminal' or 'Ipakodo'.
To save time, especially during peak hours, consider taking 'short-trip' buses (e.g., Obalende to Ketu, then Ketu to Ikorodu) if direct buses are scarce, but this might cost slightly more.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops like Mile 12 and Ikorodu Garage.
LASTMA and VIO are usually active around major junctions like CMS, Obalende, Oworonshoki, Ketu, and Mile 12. Public transport drivers are generally aware, but delays can occur.
The ferry (water transport) is almost always faster, usually taking 30-60 minutes, as it avoids road traffic congestion. The road journey can take 1.5 to 3 hours or even more depending on traffic.
Traveling by ferry is generally safe at night, though services might be limited. For road travel, it is advisable to avoid late-night trips on Ikorodu Road due to increased 'one-chance' risks. Always opt for well-lit, busy bus stops if you must travel at night.
The multi-stage public bus/Danfo journey is generally the cheapest option, costing between ₦1,100 - ₦2,000. The ferry is usually more expensive but offers speed and comfort.
No, there are no direct buses from Osborne Foreshore to Ikorodu. You will need to take a connecting ride (Keke or Danfo) from Osborne to Obalende or CMS first, then board a BRT or long Danfo to Ikorodu.

Best Time to Travel
For road travel, the best times are very early morning (before 6:30 AM) or mid-day (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) to avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic. For ferry travel, check the schedule and aim for non-peak times for a more relaxed experience, though ferries are less affected by road traffic.
Safety Rating
Medium. While day travel is generally safe, road travel on Ikorodu Road, especially late in the evening or at night, carries a 'one-chance' risk (unwanted detours or robbery by criminals posing as public transport drivers). Ferry travel is generally safer and less prone to such risks.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT buses are available for a significant portion of the road journey from Lagos Island/Obalende towards Ikorodu. There is no direct train service for this specific intrastate route.
