Route Navigation
Oshodi Transport Interchange / Oshodi Under Bridge
From your starting point in Abule Egba, locate a major bus stop (e.g., Abule Egba Under Bridge, Fagba) and board a commercial bus (Danfo) heading towards Oshodi. Confirm with the conductor.
CMS Bus Terminal / TBS Bus Stop
At Oshodi, proceed to the BRT terminal or regular bus park. Board a BRT or Danfo bus specifically bound for CMS (Central Business District) or TBS (Tafawa Balewa Square). BRT is generally faster and more comfortable for this leg.
Lekki Phase 1 Toll Gate / Admiralty Way Junction
From CMS/TBS, find buses clearly labelled for Lekki/Ajah. Board one and inform the conductor you intend to alight around the Lekki Phase 1 Toll Gate area (e.g., Admiralty Way junction, Chisco bus stop).
Lekki Phase 2 Gate / Specific internal street
Once in the Lekki Phase 1 Toll Gate vicinity, you'll need a final connection. Look for smaller commercial buses, Keke Napep (tricycles), or ride-hailing motorbikes (Okada – if allowed on that stretch and for shorter distances within Lekki) heading further down the Lekki-Epe Expressway towards Ajah. Clearly state 'Lekki Phase 2' as your destination. For specific addresses within Phase 2, a Keke or local taxi might be necessary.
💡Pro Travel Tips
Always confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid disputes, especially on the final leg.
Keep small denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares, as conductors may not always have change for larger notes.
Be prepared for potential delays due to Lagos traffic, particularly on weekdays.
Secure your belongings, especially in crowded bus parks and during transfers.
