From Victoria Island, find a bus or 'Danfo' going to CMS (Costain/Marina).
At CMS, locate the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) terminal. Board a BRT bus heading to Oshodi.
From Oshodi Terminal, cross to the 'Underbridge' section or the main park to find a 'Danfo' bus going to Ikotun.
At Ikotun Roundabout, look for a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a smaller 'Korope' bus going 'along Abaranje'. Confirm the destination before boarding.
Using BRT for the long stretch to Oshodi saves time by using dedicated lanes, avoiding some traffic hotspots like Ikorodu Road.
Always confirm your destination and fare with the conductor ('driver's assistant') before boarding to avoid disputes.
Be mindful of LASTMA/VIO presence around CMS and Oshodi; drivers might take detours or be delayed.
No, you will pay for each stage of your journey separately. BRT has its own card system, but you'll still pay cash for 'Danfo' and 'Keke Napep' rides.
