Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From your location in Victoria Island, find a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading to Obalende or CMS. These are readily available on major roads like Ozumba Mbadiwe or Ahmadu Bello Way.
At Obalende or CMS, look for a 'Danfo' going to Oshodi. Be clear with the conductor that you are going to 'Oshodi Underbridge' or 'Oshodi Oke'.
From Oshodi, locate the 'Danfo' park for buses heading towards Iyana-Ipaja. You might need to ask around for the specific loading point. These buses usually take the Agege Motor Road and Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.
At Iyana-Ipaja, disembark and look for 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or smaller 'Danfo' buses going directly into Aboru. Confirm 'Aboru' as your destination with the driver.

Best Time to Travel
Early morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) to avoid peak rush hour traffic. Mid-afternoon (between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM) can also be less congested. Avoid traveling between 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents (robbery/kidnapping by criminal elements posing as public transport operators) can occur, especially at night or in less regulated areas. Pickpocketing is common at crowded bus stops. Always use well-known, busy bus stops and confirm your destination clearly.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for significant portions of this route, offering a more structured and often faster option for the longer stretches (e.g., CMS to Oshodi). There is no rail option for this specific intrastate route.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
