From Parkview Estate, take a 'Keke Napep' or 'Danfo' bus heading towards Obalende.
At Obalende, look for 'Danfo' buses or BRT buses going to Oshodi 'Under Bridge'. BRT is often faster and more comfortable.
From Oshodi 'Under Bridge', cross to the Ilupeju side or ask for a 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' going directly to Town Planning Way, Ilupeju.
For the Obalende to Oshodi leg, consider using the BRT for a more structured and usually faster journey.
When at Oshodi, confirm the 'Danfo' or 'Keke' is heading specifically to 'Town Planning Way' as Ilupeju is a large area.
Be aware of your belongings in crowded Oshodi bus stops.
Each 'Danfo' bus usually has its destination written on the front or side. Alternatively, listen to the conductor calling out destinations or simply ask them directly. Look for 'Oshodi', 'Anthony', or 'Maryland' from Ikoyi, and 'Ilupeju' or 'Town Planning Way' from Oshodi/Anthony.
'One-chance' refers to public transport vehicles (often 'Danfos' or unmarked cars pretending to be taxis) operated by criminals. They pick up passengers and then rob them. To avoid this, always use marked public transport from official bus stops, especially at night.
LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and VIO (Vehicle Inspection Office) officials are common along Awolowo Road, around Falomo, and at the entry/exit points of the Third Mainland Bridge. They primarily target commercial vehicles for roadworthiness and proper documentation. As a passenger, this might cause slight delays but generally doesn't affect you directly.
No, there is no direct BRT service from Parkview Estate to Ilupeju. You would need to connect to a BRT route, for example, from Obalende to Oshodi, and then take another public transport option to Town Planning Way.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM, or after 8:00 PM, to avoid the heaviest traffic congestion. Morning rush hour (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM) and evening rush hour (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) will significantly increase travel time.
Safety Rating
Medium. While major routes are generally safe during the day, pickpocketing can occur in crowded buses and bus stops. Be cautious of 'one-chance' vehicles, especially when traveling late at night or from less populated bus stops. Always use well-lit, busy stops and avoid isolated areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of this route, specifically from Obalende to Oshodi. There is no direct rail service for this intra-city journey. The new Lagos Blue and Red rail lines do not directly serve this specific route yet.
