From Victoria Island, take a Danfo bus or BRT feeder bus going to CMS or Obalende.
At CMS or Obalende, board a BRT bus heading to Ojota. Look for the dedicated BRT lanes.
From Ojota, take a Danfo bus going towards Berger (Lagos-Ibadan Expressway side). Make sure to ask for 'Berger Express'.
At Berger, find a Danfo, Keke NAPEP, or shared mini-van (popularly called 'Korope') going into Isheri North. There are many local routes from Berger into Isheri.
Using the BRT from CMS/Obalende to Ojota can help you bypass some traffic on the main expressway, making this leg faster.
At Ojota and Berger, be clear about your final destination in Isheri North to ensure you're dropped off at the most convenient point.
LASTMA officials are often present around CMS, Obalende, and Ojota. Ensure your bus driver follows traffic rules to avoid unnecessary delays.
On average, expect the journey to take between 1 hour 30 minutes to 3 hours, depending heavily on traffic conditions and the time of day you are traveling.
Both options provided (BRT + Danfo or multiple Danfo transfers) are cost-effective public transport methods. The BRT option might offer a slightly more structured and sometimes faster experience for a similar price.
Traveling at night on public transport carries higher risks in Lagos. If you must travel late, ensure you use well-lit, busy bus stops and preferably travel with someone. Avoid 'along' buses that might pick up passengers from isolated spots. It's generally safer to plan your trip to arrive before dark.
No, there are no direct public transport buses (like Danfo or BRT) that run directly from Victoria Island to Isheri North. You will always need to make at least two to three transfers.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM on weekdays, or early Saturday mornings. Avoid peak rush hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) as traffic can significantly extend travel time.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' vehicles (unmarked public transport where passengers are robbed) can be a risk, particularly on longer routes or when traveling late at night. Pickpocketing can occur at crowded bus stops like Ojota or Berger. Always use well-marked public transport and avoid late-night travel if possible.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of this route, specifically from CMS/Obalende to Ojota. There is no direct BRT or rail service connecting Victoria Island directly to Isheri North.
