From inside Parkview Estate, take a Keke Napep or walk to the Falomo Roundabout/Bus Stop.
At Falomo, find a 'Danfo' (yellow bus) going to 'Obalende'.
From Obalende, look for a 'Danfo' heading towards 'Ketu' or 'Mile 12'. These buses will use the Third Mainland Bridge and Ikorodu Road.
Once at Ketu Bus Stop, ask for a 'Keke Napep' or walk to your specific destination on Demurin Street. Demurin Street is a major road off Ikorodu Road at Ketu.
Always confirm the destination with the 'conductor' before boarding.
Keep your money ready in smaller denominations to avoid issues with change.
During peak hours, it might be faster to walk a short distance to a less crowded bus stop.
LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and VIO (Vehicle Inspection Office) officials are frequently seen around Falomo Roundabout, Obalende, entries/exits of the Third Mainland Bridge, and various points along Ikorodu Road (e.g., Maryland, Ojota, Ketu) enforcing traffic rules. Always ensure public transport vehicles you board appear roadworthy to avoid delays.
It is generally not advisable to use public 'Danfo' buses or 'Keke Napeps' late at night on this route due to safety concerns, including 'one-chance' incidents. If you must travel at night, consider staying with a trusted friend or using a reliable, pre-arranged taxi service if possible, though this guide focuses on public transport.
Yes, 'short-trip' buses (Danfos that cover shorter segments of a long route) can sometimes save you money or time if you only need to cover a small portion of a longer journey. However, for a route like Parkview to Demurin, taking direct buses for the main segments (Falomo-Obalende, Obalende-Ketu) is usually more straightforward and efficient than multiple very short trips.
No, for an intra-city journey within Lagos like this, there are no train or local flight options. Public transport (Danfo, BRT, Keke Napep) remains the primary method of movement.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic. Afternoons (between 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM) are also relatively better. Avoid 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium. While Lagos is generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' vehicles (unregistered public transport or private cars pretending to be taxis that rob passengers) are a risk, especially at night or when travelling alone. Always use well-marked, busy public transport during the day. Avoid late-night travel on public transport.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant part of the journey along Ikorodu Road, offering a dedicated lane and often a faster option than regular Danfos. There is no rail option for this specific intra-city route.
