Moving from Ajah to Osapa London is a straight-line journey along the busy Lekki-Epe Expressway. While the distance is not too long, your travel time depends heavily on the time of day and the heavy traffic around key points like Jakande and Chevron. Commuters can choose between local commercial buses (Danfo), the newly regulated corridor standard buses, or private ride-hailing services.
Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
To avoid sleeping in traffic, the best time to leave Ajah is between 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM (off-peak). If you must travel during the morning rush hour, leave before 6:30 AM, otherwise you will face heavy bottle-necks caused by workers heading towards Victoria Island and Lagos Island.

Walk or take a short local ride to the main Ajah Market Bus Stop or under the Ajah Flyover.
Look for the conductors shouting 'Lekki Phase 1', 'Obalende', or 'CMS'. Board the Danfo or the new corridor standard bus and tell the conductor you will drop at Osapa Bus Stop.
Drop at Osapa Bus Stop, which is just immediately after the Jakande roundabout area.
Cross the road safely to the other side if your bus dropped you on the outward lane, then enter a local Keke or take a short walk down Osapa Road into the main Osapa London estate.
Always enter the bus with your small change (change/legal tender) to avoid fighting with conductors who claim they do not have change.
Hold your phone and wallet tightly inside your pockets when trying to board a bus at Ajah under-bridge.
If you are using the state regulated standard buses, make sure your Cowry Card is loaded with enough money before you queue up.
Keep an eye out for your bus stop after you pass the Chevron head office complex so the driver does not carry you pass your destination.

Areas Affected
Lekki - Epe Expressway
Because of current fuel prices and transport inflation, a standard public Danfo bus will cost you between ₦700 and ₦1,200 in total, depending on whether you take a direct bus or break the journey into parts.
Yes, the newly regulated standard corridor buses that look like public transit vehicles accept the Cowry Card. Make sure your card is tapped in at the terminal before boarding.
The worst time to leave Ajah is between 6:30 AM and 9:00 AM on weekday mornings. This is when almost everyone is rushing to work on the Island, making the Chevron and Jakande areas very blocked.
It is moderately safe, but you must be very alert. The bus stop area is usually active, but once it gets past 9:00 PM, avoid staying under dark corners and quickly enter a registered Keke or hail a ride into the main estate.
