Walk to a major Danfo bus stop on Victoria Island, such as the one near Eko Hotel Roundabout or the Falomo Underbridge (if you're closer to that end of VI). Look for buses heading towards 'Ikoyi' or 'Falomo'.
Board a Danfo heading towards 'Ikoyi'. Ask the conductor to drop you at 'Falomo Bus Stop' or 'Awolowo Road' if they are not going directly into Parkview Estate. Many Ikoyi buses will pass through major roads like Bourdillon or Gerrard Road.
From Falomo Bus Stop or a major drop-off point on Awolowo Road/Bourdillon Road, you might need to take another short Danfo or a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) directly into Parkview Estate. Specify your gate or street within Parkview.
Always ask the conductor if they go 'inside Ikoyi' or 'Parkview' before boarding to avoid multiple transfers.
Fares might increase during peak hours or heavy traffic. Confirm the price before you board.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded buses.
Yes, LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) officials are often present around the Falomo Bridge area, Alfred Rewane Road, and major junctions on Awolowo Road in Ikoyi. They monitor traffic flow and enforce traffic rules. Ensure your driver adheres to regulations to avoid delays.
Commercial motorcycles ('Okada') are restricted on major roads in Victoria Island and Ikoyi due to government regulations. While you might find them on inner roads, it's not a reliable or legal primary mode of transport for this route. Stick to Danfo, BRT, or Keke Napep.
It is generally safer to travel during the day. If you must travel at night, try to do so before 9:00 PM. Always use well-lit routes and avoid isolated bus stops. Be extra vigilant about your belongings.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, or after 7:00 PM on weekdays. Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) are also good. Avoid peak rush hours from 6:30 AM to 9:30 AM and 3:30 PM to 7:00 PM to save significant travel time.
Safety Rating
Medium. The route itself is generally safe during the day. However, like all major Lagos routes, be aware of petty theft, especially in crowded bus stops. 'One-chance' incidents (unmarked taxis/buses with criminal intent) are rare on this specific route but always a general Lagos warning, so stick to known public transport. Avoid late-night travel if possible, or use trusted services.
BRT / Rail / Water
