Depart from a bus stop on Oworo Road. Board a Danfo bus heading towards Obalende.
Alight at Obalende Bus Stop. Look for another Danfo or shared taxi going towards Falomo or Ikoyi.
From Falomo Roundabout, find a Keke Napep (tricycle) or a small shared shuttle bus specifically going into Banana Island. These are usually available near the Ikoyi Link Bridge entrance.
Once inside Banana Island, alight at 2nd Avenue or near Ondo Street. From there, you might need to walk a short distance or take another Keke if available to B Close.
Always confirm the destination with the bus conductor ('Obalende, right?') before boarding.
Enter 'short-trip' buses to beat the long queue if you see buses going shorter distances towards your destination's general direction.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially at busy bus stops like Obalende.
LASTMA and VIO are active around Falomo and Ikoyi; ensure your Keke driver follows traffic rules to avoid delays.
Traveling at night, especially after 8 PM, carries higher risks due to reduced security presence and increased 'one-chance' incidents. It's advisable to complete your journey before nightfall if relying on public transport.
No, there are no direct public buses (Danfo or BRT) from Oworo directly into Banana Island. You will always need multiple transfers, typically at Obalende/CMS/TBS and then Falomo, before taking a Keke or shuttle into Banana Island.
You should budget between ₦800 - ₦1,500 for a one-way trip using public transport, accounting for possible fare increases due to traffic or fuel costs. This excludes any potential Keke rides within Banana Island itself.
'One-chance' refers to a criminal act where individuals posing as public transport operators (bus/taxi drivers and conductors) kidnap and rob passengers. To avoid this, always use buses at recognized bus stops, avoid empty vehicles, and be wary of 'private' cars offering cheap rides. Trust your gut feeling; if a vehicle or situation feels off, wait for the next one.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6 AM) or late mornings (after 10 AM) are best to avoid the worst of Lagos' traffic. Mid-afternoons (between 1 PM - 3 PM) can also be less congested. Avoid traveling during peak evening rush hour (4 PM - 8 PM) if possible, as travel time can easily triple.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos routes, especially those crossing major bridges and connecting busy areas, require travelers to be aware. During the day, it's generally safe. However, 'one-chance' situations (where criminals pose as public transport operators) are a risk, particularly late at night or in less crowded areas. Pickpockets can also be active at busy bus stops.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a viable option for a significant portion of this route, especially from Iyana Oworo to CMS/TBS. There is no direct rail service for this intra-city route.
