From inside Parkview Estate, take a Keke Napep or a short Danfo ride to Falomo Bus Stop or Obalende Bus Stop.
At Falomo or Obalende, look for a 'direct' Danfo going to Ojota. These buses will cross the Third Mainland Bridge.
From Ojota, cross to the other side of the road or take a short connecting Danfo/Keke going towards Ketu/Alapere. Tell the driver 'Alapere'.
To save money, walk from Parkview Estate gate to Falomo if you're comfortable with a 10-15 minute walk.
At Ojota, sometimes you can find a 'short' Danfo that drops passengers just before Alapere, which can be cheaper than a full trip to Ketu.
LASTMA officials are very active around Falomo Bridge and Ojota. Ensure your Danfo is not stopping illegally to avoid delays.
While major roads are generally busy, it's advisable to complete your journey before 8 PM. If you must travel late, opt for busier bus stops and avoid isolated routes. 'One-chance' incidents are a risk on less crowded buses at night, so be vigilant.
The best strategy is to travel outside of peak hours (6 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM). Taking the BRT from CMS/TBS can also help you bypass some traffic, as it uses dedicated lanes for a significant part of the journey.
Yes, a Cowry card is mandatory for BRT travel in Lagos. You can purchase and top up these cards at any major BRT terminal like CMS, TBS, Ojota, or Ketu.
No, there are no direct public Danfo or BRT buses from Parkview Estate directly to Alapere. You will always need to use at least two connecting buses or a mix of Keke and buses.

Best Time to Travel
Mid-morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or late afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) are ideal to avoid peak traffic. Travel between 6:00 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM will involve significant delays due to heavy traffic.
Safety Rating
Medium. This is a busy urban route. During the day, it's generally safe. However, late evening travel (after 8 PM) carries a higher risk of 'one-chance' incidents, especially on less crowded buses or isolated bus stops. Always use well-lit, busy bus stops and shared rides.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT buses are available for a significant portion of this route (e.g., from CMS/TBS to Ketu/Ojota). There is no rail option available for this specific intracity route.
