From Alaba International Market, walk to the nearest major bus stop (e.g., Alaba Runtown bus stop) and board a yellow commercial bus (Danfo) heading towards 'Mile 2'.
At Mile 2 (Underbridge/terminal), disembark and locate the bus park for buses going to 'CMS' or 'Marina'. Board one of these buses. Ensure it's not a 'Costain' or 'Orile' bus if you intend to go directly to CMS.
At CMS (Lagos Island), alight and look for buses heading towards 'Lekki/Ajah'. Specifically ask for a bus going to 'Lekki First Gate' or 'Admiralty Way roundabout'.
From Lekki First Gate or Admiralty Way roundabout, you might need to take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a local mini-bus ('Korope') to your specific address within Lekki Phase 1, depending on its distance from the main road.
Always confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding and paying.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses and terminals.
Avoid peak hours (6-9 AM, 4-7 PM) if possible to reduce travel time and sometimes cost.
Have smaller denominations of Naira notes for bus fares.
Be prepared for potential delays due to Lagos traffic congestion.
The fastest way is usually by a ride-hailing service or private taxi, as it's a direct route without transfers. However, heavy traffic can still make the journey lengthy. Public transport often involves multiple transfers, adding to the total time.
While major routes are generally safe, it's advisable to complete your journey before late evening, especially if using public transport. If you must travel at night, opt for a reliable ride-hailing service or a trusted private taxi. Always be vigilant and avoid isolated areas.
By public transport (Danfo), the journey can take anywhere from 1.5 hours to 3 hours, sometimes even more during severe peak traffic periods. This includes waiting times for buses and transfers.
No, there are no direct public commercial buses (Danfo) from Alaba International Market straight to Lekki Phase 1. You will need to make at least two, possibly three, transfers through major hubs like Mile 2 and CMS/Marina.
