Walk or take a short Keke/Danfo to the CMS Bus Stop or TBS (Tafawa Balewa Square) Bus Stop from your location in Victoria Island. These are major BRT terminals.
At CMS or TBS, locate the BRT terminal. Board a BRT bus directly heading to Oshodi. Ensure you have a Cowry Card, as cash is not accepted on BRT.
BRT buses are generally faster as they use dedicated lanes, bypassing some traffic.
Purchase your BRT Cowry Card beforehand or top it up to avoid delays.
Always queue orderly at BRT terminals to board your bus.
Traveling at night requires extra caution. It's advisable to use well-lit routes and avoid isolated bus stops. If possible, travel with a companion. Be wary of 'one-chance' vehicles, which are unmarked taxis or buses used by criminals. BRT is generally safer at night due to dedicated routes and terminals.
LASTMA and VIO officials are frequently seen around Falomo Bridge, Eko Bridge entry/exit points, Fadeyi, and various points within Oshodi, especially near major bus stops and traffic light junctions. Ensure public transport vehicles adhere to traffic rules to avoid delays, as passengers can also be affected.
Using BRT is generally the most cost-effective option. For Danfo, try to travel during off-peak hours (mid-morning or early afternoon) when fares are usually lower. Avoid any 'charter' options unless absolutely necessary and always confirm the price before boarding.
For this specific intracity route from Victoria Island to Oshodi, there are no direct ferry or train services available. Public transport options are limited to road vehicles like BRT and Danfo buses.
'One-chance' refers to a criminal tactic where passengers enter what appears to be a public transport vehicle (often a private car or unmarked bus) only to be robbed or kidnapped by the occupants posing as driver and passengers. To avoid this, always use marked public transport (BRT, yellow Danfo) at official bus stops, and avoid vehicles that seem suspicious or have very few passengers, especially at night.
