From your location in Victoria Island, take a yellow Danfo or Keke NAPEP to CMS Bus Stop.
At CMS, locate the BRT terminal. Purchase or load your BRT card and board a BRT bus heading towards Oshodi.
From Oshodi BRT Terminal, transfer to another BRT bus going towards Mile 2.
At Mile 2, alight from the BRT and look for yellow Danfo buses heading to Volks Bus Stop or Okokomaiko. Confirm 'Volks' with the conductor.
Always have a loaded BRT card. Cash is not accepted on BRT buses.
BRT buses are generally more comfortable and less prone to traffic diversions.
Be patient at BRT terminals during peak hours, as queues can be long.
LASTMA/VIO are often present around CMS and Oshodi to manage traffic; avoid illegal parking or boarding/alighting at unauthorized spots.
During non-peak hours, expect 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours. During peak hours (morning/evening rush), it can easily stretch to 3 hours or more due to heavy traffic. Always add extra time to your travel plan.
Traveling at night on this route carries higher risks, especially from Mile 2 towards Volks. If you must travel at night, use well-known, busy bus stops and avoid any vehicles that seem suspicious or are not full. Consider a trusted ride-hailing service if available and necessary for night travel, despite this guide's focus on public transport.
Yes, especially on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway. If you can't find a direct bus to Volks from Mile 2, you might take a 'short-trip' bus to spots like 'Agboju' or 'Iyana Iba' and then another bus from there to Volks. This can sometimes be faster if direct buses are scarce.
You can purchase a BRT card at any major BRT terminal (like CMS, Oshodi, or Mile 2) and load it with funds. Some terminals might have vendors who can help you load it. You cannot pay cash directly to the BRT driver or conductor.
