Head to the main Ajah Market Bus Stop (often located near the market entrance or the Ajah Underbridge area).
Board a commercial bus (danfo) heading towards 'Lekki Phase 1' or 'CMS/Obalende'. These buses will pass through Lekki Phase 1. Always confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding.
Alight at the designated Lekki Phase 1 Gate Bus Stop or at any specific point within Lekki Phase 1 (e.g., Admiralty Way junction) that is closest to your final destination.
Be wary of pickpockets, especially during crowded hours.
Confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid disputes.
Travel during off-peak hours (10 AM - 3 PM) to avoid severe traffic congestion and potentially lower fares.
Have exact change ready if possible, though conductors usually have change.
The best times to travel are typically mid-mornings (around 10 AM - 12 PM) or mid-afternoons (around 2 PM - 4 PM). Avoid peak hours, which are usually 6 AM - 9 AM and 4 PM - 8 PM on weekdays, as traffic on the Lekki-Epe Expressway can significantly prolong travel times.
Generally, public transport in Lagos is safe, but it's important to be aware of your surroundings. Keep your phone and valuables out of sight, especially in crowded areas. Prefer well-lit bus stops and avoid late-night travel if possible. For ride-hailing, always verify the driver and car details.
Traffic can drastically affect journey duration. A trip that takes 30-45 minutes in free-flow traffic can easily extend to 90-120 minutes or more during peak hours or due to unforeseen events like accidents or heavy rainfall. Always factor in extra time.
