Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Head to the main Yaba Bus Stop (often called 'Yaba Terminus' by locals) or the Ojuelegba Underbridge area, which serves as a major transit point for mainland-to-island routes.
Look for a yellow 'Danfo' commercial bus with 'CMS' or 'Idumota' written on its front. These buses are heading towards Lagos Island. Board one and tell the conductor your destination.
The bus will take you across Eko Bridge. Alight at either 'CMS' (pronounced C-M-S) or 'Idumota', which are major bus terminals on Lagos Island and key connection points.
Once you alight, ask for directions to the 'Obalende' bus park. There will be smaller buses, shared taxis (kabu-kabu), or 'Keke Napep' (tricycles) available for the short distance to Obalende.
Board a 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' specifically heading to 'Obalende'. Confirm the fare before boarding. These short shuttles are very frequent.
Tell the conductor or driver to drop you off at your specific point within Obalende, whether it's the Obalende Bus Terminal, near the Government House, or another landmark.
