Make your way to a major bus stop or park in Ajah renowned for routes heading towards the Epe axis. Prominent loading points include Abraham Adesanya Roundabout or the Ajah Express Terminal (close to Jubilee Bridge). You may need to take a local Keke Napep or short bus ride to reach these terminals if not starting directly from there.
Epe Bus Loading Bay (within Ajah terminal)
At the park, identify and board a commercial bus (typically a yellow Danfo or a mini-coaster bus) that is clearly designated for 'Epe'. Always confirm with the conductor that it is a direct trip to Epe before paying your fare and boarding.
Lekki-Epe Expressway
The bus will embark on a direct journey along the Lekki-Epe Expressway. This route is a major arterial road, and the trip is mostly straightforward, passing through areas like Eleko, Lakowe, and Bogije. The duration can vary significantly based on traffic conditions.
Epe Motor Park / Epe T-Junction

💡Pro Travel Tips
Always confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid any disputes.
To bypass the worst of Lagos traffic, aim to travel during off-peak hours (e.g., mid-morning 10 AM - 12 PM or early afternoon 2 PM - 4 PM) on weekdays.
Keep your belongings secure and close to you, especially at busy bus parks, to deter pickpockets.
Mini-coaster buses, when available, often offer a slightly more comfortable ride than standard Danfos for a similar price.
It's advisable to carry smaller denominations of Naira for bus fares, as conductors may not always have change for large notes.
Consider bringing water or snacks, as the journey can be lengthy.
