Moving from the mainland to the island in Lagos can feel like a full-time job. Traffic, uncomfortable danfo buses, and expensive ride-hailing fares. It’s a lot.

If you want the least stressful option, this is the hack.

Here’s the easiest route:

• Head to Mile 2, also known as Doba
• Go straight to the train station
• Take the train to Marina
• Once you arrive at Marina, you’ll find shuttle buses that can take you to different parts of the island

Cost breakdown:
🚆 Train fare: ₦750
🚌 Shuttle fare: about ₦300

It’s fast, affordable, and surprisingly comfortable. No endless traffic. No fighting for space in a bus. Just a smooth ride straight into the island.

Save this for the next time you’ll be visiting the island.
