Walk or enter a local Keke to Yaba Under-Bridge or the main Yaba Bus Park near the rail line.
Look for the loaders calling out 'Island!', 'Obalende!', or 'CMS!'. Ask the conductor clearly if the bus will drop passengers off at Adeniji.
Board the Danfo bus. The driver will head down Herbert Macaulay Way, turn towards Adekunle, and climb the Third Mainland Bridge.
As the bus descends the Third Mainland Bridge onto Lagos Island, inform the conductor you are dropping at Adeniji. Prepare your change and alight at the bus stop.
Always enter the bus with your exact fare money ('change') to avoid fighting with the conductor.
Hold your phone and wallet tightly inside the bus, especially when the bus is slowing down near stops where boys reach through windows.
If you cannot find a direct bus to Adeniji, enter an 'Obalende' bus and drop at Adekunle, then pick an Adeniji connection.
Keep your window halfway up if you are sitting on the outer rows to prevent snatch-and-run thefts during slow traffic.
Due to current fuel price inflation, a one-way trip via standard commercial Danfo bus costs between ₦800 and ₦1,300 depending on the time of day, weather, and traffic volume.
No, there is no direct dedicated BRT lane or BRT bus that runs straight from Yaba to Adeniji. You must use the yellow Danfo buses, private cars, or connect via Oyingbo.
The safest time is between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM when the streets are fully active, businesses are open, and law enforcement is visible. Avoid walking alone under the Adeniji bridge after 7:30 PM.
Stay calm, keep your phone out of sight, ensure your vehicle windows are secured, and do not patronize hawkers if you are holding your wallet openly.
