The journey covers approximately 70.9 km and can take around 60 minutes in ideal traffic conditions, but often much longer due to Lagos traffic.

Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Ajara, find a 'Danfo' or commercial bus heading towards Mile 2. You'll likely need to board from the main road.
Alight at Mile 2 Under Bridge. This is a major transport hub. From here, look for buses going to CMS (Marina).
At CMS, you'll need to locate another bus or 'keke' (tricycle) heading to Lekki Phase 1 (Admiralty Way).
Once on Admiralty Way, you can alight at your specific destination or take a short 'keke' or 'okada' (motorcycle taxi, if available and safe) for the final stretch within Lekki Phase 1.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy traffic, depart very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or late in the morning (after 10:00 AM). The afternoon rush hour (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) should be avoided if possible, as travel time can easily double or triple.
Safety Rating
Medium. The Lagos-Badagry Expressway, especially at night or very early morning, can have security concerns. 'One-chance' syndicates operate on various routes in Lagos, so always board buses from designated bus stops and avoid empty vehicles. Lekki Phase 1 routes are generally safer, but remain vigilant.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of this route, specifically from Mile 2 to CMS/Obalende. There is no direct train service for this specific route. The newly commissioned Lagos Blue Rail line can be used from Mile 2 to Marina, which is close to CMS, offering an alternative to road traffic for that segment.
