Route Navigation
Alausa Secretariat Gate, Lagos State House of Assembly
From your location in Alausa (e.g., Alausa Secretariat), take a Keke Napep or a short commercial bus (Danfo) ride towards Ojota. These are readily available around the secretariat gate.
Ojota Bus Terminal, Underbridge
At Ojota, alight at the main bus terminal/underbridge. Locate buses heading towards 'Ajah', 'Abraham Adesanya', or 'Lekki'. Confirm with the conductor that the bus is going as far as Ajah or Abraham Adesanya Estate, then board.
Abraham Adesanya Estate Gate, Ajah Roundabout, Ikota First Gate
Alight at Abraham Adesanya Estate Gate or the Ajah Roundabout (if the bus reaches there). From this point, you will need to take another Keke Napep or a local minibus (Kombi) specifically heading into Chevron Drive. State your destination clearly as 'Chevron Drive' or 'Chevron Roundabout'.
💡Pro Travel Tips
Always try to travel outside peak hours (6:30 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) to avoid severe traffic on the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding any bus or Keke to avoid disputes.
Keep your valuables secure and be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded bus stops and buses.
Carry smaller denominations of cash, as conductors may not always have change for large notes.

❓Route FAQ
What is the fastest way to get from Alausa to Chevron Drive?
The fastest way is usually by a ride-hailing service (Bolt, Uber, LagosRide) as it's a direct trip. However, during severe traffic on the Lekki-Epe Expressway, even ride-hailing services can be slow. Motorbikes (Okada) can be faster but are generally considered riskier and restricted on major expressways.
Is it safe to travel by public bus from Alausa to Chevron Drive?
Yes, public buses are generally safe, but like any crowded public transport system, it's essential to be vigilant. Keep an eye on your belongings, especially your phone and wallet, and avoid unnecessary distractions.
How much should I budget for the trip in?
For the multi-stage public bus journey, budget between ₦2,500 and ₦4,000. For ride-hailing services, expect to pay between ₦10,000 and ₦18,000, which can increase significantly during peak hours due to surge pricing.
What are the peak traffic hours to avoid?
To minimize travel time, avoid commuting between 6:30 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM on weekdays. Saturdays also see significant traffic, particularly on the Lekki-Epe corridor.
Can I use BRT buses for this route?
While BRT buses operate in parts of Lagos, there isn't a single, direct BRT route that efficiently connects Alausa to Chevron Drive. You would likely need multiple transfers and walk long distances between BRT stops, making the standard Danfo or ride-hailing options more practical for this specific journey.
