From Abattoir Agege, locate the nearest Keke Napep (tricycle) or local Danfo bus stand. Take a ride heading towards Ogba Bus Stop. This is a common and quick local transit.
At Ogba Bus Stop, find a direct Danfo bus heading towards CMS (Marina). These buses typically use the Third Mainland Bridge, offering a scenic but often traffic-laden route to Lagos Island.
From CMS, board a Danfo bus or an LBSL (Lag Bus) branded bus heading towards 'Ajah' or 'Abraham Adesanya Estate'. These buses traverse the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Inform the conductor that you intend to alight at 'Chevron Roundabout' or 'Chevron Drive Entrance'.
Lagos traffic, especially on the bridges and Lekki-Epe Expressway, is highly unpredictable. Aim to depart very early (before 6 AM) to minimize travel time.
Always have smaller denominations (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) available, as bus conductors frequently do not have change for larger notes.
Be vigilant and keep your belongings secure, particularly in crowded buses and bustling bus terminals.
Confirm the final destination with the bus conductor before boarding, even if the bus is visibly labelled, to avoid misunderstandings.
For a more comfortable but significantly costlier alternative, consider using ride-hailing services like Bolt or Uber for the entire journey or the final leg from CMS to Chevron.
