From Ajah Market, proceed to the main Ajah Bus Stop along the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Board a commercial bus (Danfo) heading towards 'CMS' or 'TBS'. Ensure you confirm the destination with the conductor.
Alight at CMS or TBS. Locate the designated bus park for buses heading towards 'Mile 12' or 'Ikorodu Road'. Board a Danfo heading to Mile 12. These buses are usually readily available.
Always confirm the fare and destination before boarding any bus.
Have smaller denominations of Naira ready, as conductors may not always have change for large notes.
Be wary of pickpockets, especially in crowded bus stops and during boarding/alighting.
Travel during off-peak hours (mid-morning to early afternoon) to minimize traffic delays.
While major routes are generally safe, it's advisable to complete your journey before 8-9 PM, especially if using public buses. For late-night travel, ride-hailing services are recommended for increased safety and convenience.
To avoid peak traffic, plan your journey during off-peak hours (e.g., 10 AM - 3 PM on weekdays, or early mornings on weekends). The BRT option offers dedicated lanes, making it less susceptible to general traffic congestion.
Commercial buses (Danfo) primarily accept cash. Ensure you have sufficient cash in smaller denominations. For BRT, you'll need a BRT card, which can be loaded with funds digitally or with cash at terminals. Ride-hailing apps allow for card payments directly through the app.
No, traveling from Ajah Market to Mile 12 by Keke NAPEP is not practical or recommended. Keke NAPEPs are typically used for shorter distances within specific neighborhoods. This route is too long and involves major expressways where Keke NAPEPs are restricted.
The journey duration varies significantly based on traffic. During off-peak hours, it can take 1.5 to 2.5 hours. During peak hours (morning and evening rush), it can extend to 3.5 to 4.5 hours or even more.
