Navigating from the bustling Alaba International Market to the upscale residential area of Lekki Phase 2 involves a significant cross-city journey. Expect multi-stage trips, especially with public transport, and considerable travel times due to Lagos traffic. Costs have stabilized since 2024 but remain higher. Options range from economical but lengthy commercial buses (Danfo) to more convenient but significantly pricier ride-hailing services.

From Alaba International Market bus stops (e.g., Gate, Cemetery), board a 'Mile 2' bound commercial bus (Danfo).
At Mile 2, alight and locate the bus park for 'CMS' or 'TBS' (Terminus/Obalende) bound Danfos. Board one to cross the Third Mainland Bridge.
From CMS or TBS, look for direct large buses (sometimes BRT or large Danfos) heading towards 'Ajah' or 'Abraham Adesanya'. Specify Abraham Adesanya for closer proximity to Lekki Phase 2.
Upon reaching Abraham Adesanya, you will need to take a Keke Napep (tricycle) or a shared mini-bus (Korope) directly into Lekki Phase 2.
Always have smaller denominations of Naira for bus fares, as drivers often don't have change for large notes.
Travel early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or late in the evening (after 8:00 PM) to avoid peak traffic on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, Third Mainland Bridge, and Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Confirm your destination with the bus conductor before boarding to avoid getting on the wrong route.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops and while boarding/alighting.
The cheapest way is by using a combination of commercial buses (Danfo) and a Keke Napep for the last mile. This multi-stage journey costs between ₦2,650 and ₦3,800.
The fastest way is typically by using a ride-hailing service like Uber or Bolt. While subject to traffic, it offers a direct route and minimizes transfers. Expect to pay between ₦15,000 and ₦28,000+.
Travel time varies significantly based on your chosen method and traffic conditions. By commercial bus, it can take anywhere from 3.5 to 6 hours. Ride-hailing services might take 2.5 to 4.5 hours under good conditions, but can extend during peak traffic.
No, there are no direct commercial buses. You will need to take multiple buses and possibly a Keke Napep to complete the journey, involving at least two or three transfers at major bus hubs like Mile 2, CMS/TBS, and Abraham Adesanya.
Yes, it is generally safe, but common sense precautions are advisable. Avoid displaying valuables, keep your phone secure, and try to travel during daylight hours. Always confirm routes with conductors and fellow passengers if unsure.
