Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Step 1: From your location in Sangotedo, take a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading towards Ajah Market or Abraham Adesanya roundabout. Look for buses with 'Ajah' or 'CMS' written on them.
Step 2: Alight at Ajah Market or Ajah Roundabout. From there, board another 'Danfo' going towards Lekki Phase 1, specifically asking for 'Admiralty Way' or 'Lekki Gate'.
Step 3: Once you get to Lekki Phase 1 (e.g., Admiralty Way or Lekki Gate), you will need one more short ride. Look for a 'Danfo' or 'Keke NAPEP' (tricycle) heading towards 'Falomo' or 'Ikoyi'. Confirm with the driver that they are going towards Banana Island or a point close to it.
Step 4: If dropped off at Falomo, you may need a final 'Keke NAPEP' or local taxi to enter Banana Island itself, as public buses typically don't enter the estate.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid peak traffic. Mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) can also be manageable. Avoid 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM.

Medium. While main routes are generally safe during the day, always be aware of your surroundings. Pickpocketing can occur in crowded buses. Avoid traveling alone very late at night on public transport.
