From Parkview Estate, take a Keke or a 'short-trip' Danfo to Obalende.
At Obalende, look for Danfos heading directly to Oshodi Underbridge or Bolade.
In Obalende, there are many Danfos. Ask drivers or conductors 'Oshodi?' to confirm their destination.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops.
LASTMA/VIO are often present around Obalende, ensure your driver doesn't take illegal turns.
While major roads are generally busy, it's advisable to complete your journey before 8:00 PM. If traveling later, stick to well-lit, busy bus stops and consider using reputable public transport options like BRT where available, or sharing a chartered taxi with trusted individuals if possible. Avoid isolated bus stops.
A 'Danfo' is a yellow commercial minibus, a very common form of public transport in Lagos. They operate on fixed routes but can be flagged down at designated stops.
A 'Keke' (or Keke Napep) is a motorized tricycle, often used for shorter distances within estates or to connect to main bus stops. They are common for inner-city travel.
For Danfos and Keke, you typically pay with cash directly to the conductor or driver. For BRT, you need a Cowry Card, which can be purchased and topped up at BRT terminals.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic. Afternoons from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM can also be relatively clear. Avoid 6:30 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. While the route is generally busy and well-trafficked, travelers should be aware of petty theft in crowded areas like Oshodi. Avoid displaying valuables openly. 'One-chance' incidents, though rare on major routes during the day, can occur with less reputable shared taxis or late-night travel. Always use established public transport.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available from Maryland/Fadeyi to Oshodi, offering a dedicated lane for faster travel. There is currently no rail option for direct travel between Parkview Estate and Oshodi-Isolo.
