❓Route FAQ
Is it safe to travel from Ajegunle to Lekki Phase 1 by public transport?
Generally, yes. However, like any major city, exercise caution, secure your belongings, especially your phone and wallet, and be aware of your surroundings, particularly during late hours or in crowded bus stops. Stick to known, well-lit bus stops and avoid isolated areas.
What's the best time to leave Ajegunle to avoid traffic?
To significantly avoid the notoriously heavy Lagos traffic, aim to leave Ajegunle before 6:00 AM or after 8:00 PM on weekdays. Mid-day on weekends can also be less congested, but always factor in potential unforeseen delays.
Can I use BRT for this entire route?
While BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) operates on segments of the route (e.g., from mainland hubs like Ikorodu Road to CMS/TBS), there isn't a single direct BRT route that covers the entire Ajegunle to Lekki Phase 1 journey. You would typically use a combination of BRT for the initial mainland stretch and then transfer to commercial buses or ride-hailing services for the onward journey to Lekki.
Are there any direct buses from Ajegunle to Lekki Phase 1?
Direct buses from Ajegunle to Lekki Phase 1 are uncommon. Due to the geographical distance and major transport hubs, you will almost certainly need to break your journey at a central interchange like CMS or Obalende to connect to a Lekki-bound bus or taxi.
