Step 1: From Abule Oja, take a commercial bus (Danfo) going towards Yaba Bus Stop or Oyingbo.
Step 2: At Yaba Bus Stop (or Oyingbo), look for a Danfo heading to CMS (Marina) or Obalende.
Step 3: From CMS or Obalende, find a commercial bus (usually a smaller 'Korope' or Danfo) going to Lekki Phase 1. You will typically find these buses under the bridge at CMS or near the Falomo Bridge in Obalende, heading towards Ozumba Mbadiwe/Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Always confirm the destination with the bus conductor before boarding.
Have smaller denominations of Naira notes ready for fares.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded buses and bus stops.
While generally safe, it is advisable to complete your journey before 9:00 PM if relying on public transport. After this time, buses become less frequent, and it's harder to find direct routes, potentially leading to longer waits or having to use less conventional transport.
For this route, if you have light luggage (a backpack or a small bag), it's fine. For larger bags, Danfos might charge extra (an 'attachment' fee) or refuse if the bus is full. BRT buses have limited space for large luggage. Consider alternative transport like ride-hailing for heavy luggage if public transport is too challenging.
The Cowry Card is a rechargeable electronic card used for payment on Lagos BRT buses and some other public transport. You can buy and top it up at BRT terminals. It's mandatory for BRT travel.
No, direct buses are very rare, if they exist at all. You will almost certainly need to make at least one, if not two, changes at major transit points like Yaba, Oyingbo, CMS, or Obalende.

Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos roads can be very busy and sometimes chaotic. Always be aware of your surroundings, especially when waiting for buses or in crowded areas. Avoid displaying valuable items openly. 'One-chance' incidents, though rare, can occur; always board buses from designated stops and avoid empty buses late at night.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant portion of this journey (Yaba to CMS). There are no direct train routes for this specific journey within Lagos.
