From Parkview Estate, take a Danfo going towards Obalende. You can find these buses along Awolowo Road.
At Obalende, look for a direct Danfo going to Mile 2. These buses are usually available near the main park or under the bridge.
From Mile 2, cross to the side of the expressway heading towards Badagry. Find a Danfo or 'Korope' (smaller bus) heading towards Badagry. Tell the conductor you are going to Volks.
For the Obalende to Mile 2 leg, sometimes 'short-trip' buses (e.g., Obalende to Costain, then Costain to Mile 2) might be faster if direct buses are scarce, though it adds an extra change.
Always confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses, and avoid displaying valuables.
It is generally advisable to avoid traveling this route late at night (after 8-9 PM) using public transport due to increased security risks, including 'one-chance' incidents and reduced visibility. If unavoidable, use a trusted private car service or travel in groups.
The best way to avoid traffic is to travel during off-peak hours: very early morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM). You can also use traffic apps like Google Maps or listen to Lagos Traffic Radio (96.1 FM) to monitor real-time conditions before you set out.
'One-chance' refers to a criminal method where passengers board a seemingly public vehicle (often an unmarked car or bus) that is operated by criminals. Once inside, they are robbed, abducted, or harmed. Always use clearly marked public transport at designated bus stops and avoid boarding vehicles that seem suspicious or have few passengers.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic. Afternoons from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM can also be manageable before the evening rush begins. Avoid 6:30 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM if possible, as travel time can double.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, pickpocketing is common in crowded buses and bus stops. 'One-chance' incidents can occur, especially late at night on less busy routes or expressways. Always be aware of your surroundings and avoid isolated bus stops after dark.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available on certain segments of this route, particularly from the Island (CMS/Obalende) to Mile 2. There is no direct BRT route from Parkview to Volks. The Lagos Blue Line Rail project is under construction and may offer future alternatives, but is not currently operational for this full route.
