Transport Guide
Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Victoria Island, locate a bus going to CMS or Obalende. These are major transport hubs. You can find these buses around Falomo Bridge or Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue.
At CMS or Obalende, look for a BRT bus or a yellow Danfo bus heading to Oshodi. BRT is usually faster and more comfortable.
From Oshodi, specifically the Iyana Ipaja-bound park, board a Danfo bus going to Iyana Ipaja. This is a major interchange.
At Iyana Ipaja, you will find buses or 'Keke Napep' (tricycles) heading into Kola. Ask for 'Kola via Command Road' or 'Kola via Meiran'.

Best Time to Travel
Mid-morning (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) or late evening (after 8:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's notorious peak hour traffic. Peak hours are typically 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium-High. Lagos roads can be challenging. During the day, it's generally safe, but 'one-chance' buses (buses where criminals operate) are a risk, especially late at night or from isolated bus stops. Always choose busy bus stops and look out for fellow passengers.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of this route, offering a faster and more structured option. There is no rail service for this specific intra-city journey.
