From any major bus stop in Ajah (e.g., Ajah Roundabout, Abraham Adesanya, Badore Road junction), board a yellow commercial bus (Danfo) clearly marked 'Obalende'. This is the most common first leg of the journey.
Disembark at the Obalende Bus Terminal. This is a major interchange point where you will connect to your next bus.
At Obalende, look for commercial buses (Danfo) with 'CMS' written on them. These buses are plentiful and will take you directly to CMS Marina.
Disembark at CMS Marina bus stop. You'll be right at the major hub, close to landmarks like the CMS bus terminal, National Museum, and the waterfront.
Travel early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or late in the evening (after 7:00 PM) to avoid the worst of peak traffic periods. Mid-day can also be lighter.
Always confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding. Fares can fluctuate based on time of day, traffic, and fuel price changes.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded bus stops and while boarding/alighting.
Have smaller denominations of Naira (e.g., ₦100, ₦200, ₦500 notes) for bus fares, as conductors might not always have exact change for large notes.
By commercial bus, expect the journey to range from 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes, heavily influenced by Lagos traffic conditions. Ride-hailing services might offer a slightly faster journey, potentially reducing travel time by 15-30 minutes if traffic is moderate.
The most economical option is undoubtedly the commercial bus (Danfo), with an estimated total cost between ₦900 - ₦1,400 for the two-leg journey in.
While public transport routes are still operational late into the evening, for safety and convenience, especially after 9 PM, ride-hailing services are generally recommended. If opting for buses, stick to well-lit and busy bus stops.
Direct commercial buses from Ajah to CMS Marina are rare. The standard public transport route involves a connection, typically at Obalende, before reaching CMS Marina.
Commercial buses in Lagos primarily accept cash payments in Nigerian Naira. Always have smaller denominations readily available as conductors may not always have change for large notes.
