Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From inside Parkview Estate, take a Keke (tricycle) or walk to the estate gate/Awolowo Road. If taking Keke, confirm the fare before boarding.
At Awolowo Road, find a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading to Obalende. These buses are usually available directly outside the estate gate or a short walk away.
From Obalende Bus Stop, take another Danfo going to CMS. Be aware of LASTMA/VIO presence in Obalende, as they often manage traffic and commercial vehicles.
At CMS Bus Stop (under the bridge), look for a Danfo heading to Ojuelegba. This bus will cross the Eko Bridge and pass through Costain/Iponri. The Eko Bridge approach and Costain are known LASTMA/VIO hotspots.
From Ojuelegba Bus Stop, take a final Danfo or Keke directly to Bode Thomas Street. Confirm the specific part of Bode Thomas for easier drop-off.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are mid-morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or late afternoon (3:00 PM - 4:00 PM) to avoid the heavy morning (6:00 AM - 9:30 AM) and evening (4:30 PM - 8:00 PM) rush hour traffic. Weekends generally have lighter traffic.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, pickpocketing is common at crowded bus stops like Obalende, CMS, and Ojuelegba. 'One-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed by criminals posing as public transport operators) can occur, especially on longer Danfo trips late at night. Always be alert.
