Traveling from Parkview Estate in Ikoyi to Aboru in Alimosho involves crossing a significant part of Lagos. This journey requires multiple public transport changes, typically using a combination of 'Danfo' (yellow buses), 'Keke Napep' (tricycles), and potentially BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) for part of the route. Expect a long journey due to Lagos traffic, especially during peak hours.

From Parkview Estate, take a 'Keke Napep' or 'Danfo' to Obalende Bus Stop.
At Obalende, board a BRT bus going to Oshodi Terminal.
From Oshodi BRT Terminal, walk to the 'Danfo' park under the bridge or nearby and take a 'Danfo' heading to Iyana Ipaja.
At Iyana Ipaja, you'll find 'Danfos' or 'Keke Napeps' going directly to Aboru Bus Stop.
BRT buses are generally faster and more comfortable than 'Danfos' for their routes. Use them where available.
At Oshodi, ensure you board a 'Danfo' from the designated parks to avoid 'one-chance' situations.
LASTMA/VIO are usually active around Obalende and Oshodi, ensure your 'Danfo' driver is compliant.
During off-peak hours, expect 1.5 to 2.5 hours. During peak hours, it can easily stretch to 3-4 hours or more due to heavy traffic.
It is generally advisable to complete your journey before 7 PM. If traveling at night is unavoidable, stick to well-lit areas, busy bus stops, and avoid isolated or empty buses. Inform someone of your travel plans.
Lagos transport often involves breaking down your journey into segments. If you can't find a direct bus, ask for buses going to major hubs like Oshodi or Iyana Ipaja, and then connect from there.
Most 'Danfo' and 'Keke Napep' services are cash-only. BRT buses use a Cowry card system, which can be purchased and topped up at BRT terminals.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or mid-day (between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM) are best to avoid the worst of Lagos traffic. Avoid peak hours (6:30 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible, as journey times can more than double.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, evening travel (after 7 PM) requires caution. 'One-chance' bus operations are a known risk in Lagos, especially on less crowded routes or at night. Always use buses from well-lit, busy bus stops and avoid empty or suspicious-looking vehicles. Keep your belongings secure and avoid displaying valuables.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT is available for a significant portion of this route (e.g., Obalende to Oshodi). There is no direct BRT service to Aboru. The Lagos Rail Mass Transit (Red and Blue Lines) does not directly serve this specific route effectively for public transport at this time.
