Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Find an interstate bus heading to Lagos. Most will drop passengers at major terminals like Berger Bus Stop.
From Berger Bus Stop, look for a BRT bus or 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) going to Obalende/CMS.
At Obalende or CMS, find another 'Danfo' or 'Keke NAPEP' (tricycle) heading towards Ikoyi, specifically Falomo or Awolowo Road junction.
From Falomo or Awolowo Road, take a 'Keke NAPEP' or another 'Danfo' going into Ikoyi and specifically to Banana Island. You might need to take a short drop to the Banana Island gate, then another inside.
Inform the 'Keke' driver or security at the gate you are going to 'B Close' on Banana Island.

Best Time to Travel
Early morning (before 6:00 AM) on weekdays or mid-day (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) to avoid the worst traffic on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and within Lagos. Weekends, especially Sunday mornings, generally offer smoother travel.
Safety Rating
Medium. Interstate travel during the day is generally safe. However, 'one-chance' incidents can occur in Lagos public transport, especially at night. Be vigilant with your belongings and avoid late-night travel if possible. The roads leading to Banana Island are relatively secure.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of the journey within Lagos (e.g., from Berger to CMS/Obalende). The Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge railway offers an alternative for the interstate leg, but requires connecting local transport at both ends and doesn't directly serve Shasha or Banana Island.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
