From Parkview Estate, take a local Keke Napep or Danfo shuttle to Falomo Roundabout or Obalende Bus Stop.
At Falomo or Obalende, board a BRT bus heading towards Oshodi or Ojota. Alight at Ojota Terminal.
From Ojota Terminal, take another BRT bus or a yellow Danfo bus going to Berger. Ensure it's going 'under the bridge' at Berger.
At Berger Bus Stop, you will find Keke Napep or local shuttle Danfo buses specifically for River Valley Estate or Isheri. Board one to your destination inside the estate.
BRT buses are generally more organized and have dedicated lanes, which can save time during traffic.
Always buy your BRT ticket/card at the designated BRT kiosks.
Enter 'short-trip' Danfo buses if available to beat long queues at major bus stops, even if it means more transfers. It can sometimes be faster.
While 'one-chance' can happen anywhere, areas around less busy bus stops, especially late at night on major expressways like Ikorodu Road or the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, are higher risk. Always board vehicles at busy, well-lit, and established bus stops.
Traveling at night on this route requires extra caution. If you must travel after 8 PM, try to use well-known bus services (like BRT where available) or charter a trusted private taxi/ride-hailing app (though not a public transport option, it's a safety consideration for night travel). Avoid isolated bus stops and always inform someone of your journey.
The best way is to travel outside of peak hours (6:30 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM). Using BRT where possible helps, as they have dedicated lanes. You can also use traffic apps like Google Maps for real-time traffic updates before you leave.
LASTMA and VIO officials are regularly seen around major junctions and bus stops, particularly at Falomo, Ojota, and Berger. They mainly focus on commercial vehicles for traffic offenses. Passengers usually aren't directly affected, but their operations can sometimes cause temporary slowdowns.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings/early afternoons (10:30 AM - 2:00 PM) to avoid peak traffic. Avoid traveling during rush 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. The route involves major Lagos roads and bus stops. During the day, it's generally safe. However, 'one-chance' vehicles can operate, especially late evenings. Always board buses at designated, busy bus stops. Be mindful of pickpockets in crowded areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for significant portions of this route, offering a more structured and often faster option compared to regular Danfo buses. There is no rail option directly serving this specific route within Lagos currently.
