Walk to the main road along Admiralty Way and look for a commercial mini-bus (Danfo) heading towards Ikoyi or Obalende via the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge.
Board the Danfo. Ensure the conductor confirms they are going 'Ikoyi via Link Bridge'.
The bus will cross the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge, then proceed onto Alexander Avenue in Ikoyi.
The Danfo will continue on Alexander Avenue, then turn onto Gerrard Road, and then Osborne Road. Inform the conductor of your exact stop in Ikoyi.
**Have exact change:** Conductors prefer exact fares. Carrying smaller denominations will save you hassle.
**Confirm destination:** Always confirm with the conductor that the bus is going to your specific area in Ikoyi, especially if it's not a major junction.
**Mind the traffic:** This route can be very busy. If you're in a hurry, consider leaving earlier.
Yes, you can take a longer route through Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue, then connect to Falomo Bridge, and then into Ikoyi. However, this route is often much more congested and will significantly increase your travel time, especially during peak hours. The Link Bridge, despite the toll, is usually faster.
LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and VIO (Vehicle Inspection Office) officials are primarily looking for traffic violations like driving against traffic ('one-way'), expired vehicle documents, driving without a seatbelt, using a phone while driving, or parking in unauthorized areas. Commercial vehicles might also be checked for passenger capacity and roadworthiness.
Walking the entire 7.1 km route is possible, especially if you enjoy exercise. Bicycles are allowed on the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge. However, be cautious of fast-moving traffic, especially on Admiralty Way and the busy roads within Ikoyi. It's not a common mode of transport for this distance due to traffic and heat.
While generally safe, it's advisable to exercise caution. If traveling alone at night, try to use well-lit areas for pick-up, avoid empty public transport, and inform someone of your route. 'One-chance' incidents are a risk, so trust your instincts and avoid any vehicle that seems suspicious.
