From Parkview Estate, take a 'keke Napep' or local 'danfo' bus to Falomo Bus Stop.
At Falomo Bus Stop, board a 'danfo' bus heading towards CMS Bus Stop.
From CMS Bus Stop, find a 'danfo' bus going to Costain Bus Stop. This bus will cross the Eko Bridge.
At Costain Bus Stop, take another 'danfo' bus or a 'keke Napep' directly to Wharf Road, Apapa.
To save money, try to enter 'short-trip' buses that cover a segment of the journey, even if it means more transfers.
Be aware of bus conductors calling out destinations; confirm 'Apapa Wharf Road' or a close landmark.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses.
The fastest way, especially during peak traffic hours, is often by combining local road transport to a jetty (like Falomo or Ikoyi Jetty) and then taking a ferry directly to Apapa Jetty. This avoids the severe road congestion.
No, there are no direct public 'danfo' buses that run from Parkview Estate (Ikoyi) straight to Apapa. You will always need to take multiple stages or use the ferry option.
It is generally advisable to complete your journey before 8 PM. If you must travel at night, try to use well-lit routes and avoid sparsely populated bus stops. Be vigilant and avoid boarding buses that appear empty or suspicious.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid peak traffic, travel early in the morning (before 6:30 AM) or during off-peak hours (between 10 AM and 2 PM). The evening rush hour (4 PM - 8 PM) is particularly challenging on this route, especially around the bridges and Apapa.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, exercise caution. 'One-chance' bus operations are a known risk in Lagos; avoid boarding empty buses or those with very few passengers, especially at night. Pickpockets can operate in crowded buses and bus stops. For evening travel, try to complete your journey before 8 PM or use more secure options if possible.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or rail service from Parkview Estate to Wharf Road. You would need to use multiple local bus stages or combine with the ferry service.
