From Super Bus Stop Area, board a 'Danfo' bus heading towards Oshodi. Confirm with the conductor that the bus is going to 'Oshodi Under Bridge' or 'Oshodi Terminal'.
Alight at Oshodi Under Bridge. Look for the BRT terminal or another 'Danfo' park heading to Obalende or CMS.
Board a BRT bus or a 'Danfo' bus going to Obalende. BRT is usually faster and more comfortable.
From Obalende, look for smaller 'Danfo' buses or 'Korope' (minibuses) that go to Falomo or directly into Ikoyi (e.g., Awolowo Road).
Alight at Falomo or a convenient stop on Awolowo Road, Ikoyi. From here, you will need a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a local 'charter' taxi to get into Banana Island.
Always confirm destination with the conductor before boarding.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses and terminals.
Fares may increase during peak hours or heavy rain. Have smaller denominations ready for payments.
While ride-hailing apps are widely available in Lagos and offer a direct, door-to-door service, this guide focuses on public transport options as requested. Using ride-hailing apps will be significantly more expensive than public transport.
Traveling with heavy luggage on 'Danfo' buses or 'Keke Napep' can be challenging due to limited space. For this journey, consider using a 'charter' taxi for the final leg from Falomo/Ikoyi to Banana Island if your luggage is bulky, or be prepared for cramped conditions on public buses.
Women traveling alone should prioritize daylight travel, sit closer to the driver or in more populated sections of the bus, and avoid late-night public transport. Keep your phone charged and inform someone of your travel plans.
Each 'Danfo' bus usually has its destination written on its front or side. If unsure, simply ask the conductor or nearby passengers, stating your destination clearly (e.g., 'Oshodi Under Bridge?' or 'Obalende?').

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or mid-day (between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's peak hour traffic. Weekends generally offer smoother travel conditions.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos public transport can be safe, but travelers should be aware of petty crime risks. Always be alert, especially in crowded areas and during transfers. Avoid displaying valuables. 'One-chance' situations are rare on established public routes like BRT and major Danfo routes but can occur with unverified private vehicles. Night travel on public transport is generally not recommended due to increased risks.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a reliable option for parts of this journey, specifically from Oshodi to CMS/TBS. There is no direct rail service for this specific intra-city route.
