From Apongbon, walk or take a short Danfo/Keke ride to CMS or Obalende. CMS is usually a better starting point for Lekki-bound buses.
At CMS or Obalende, look for large yellow 'Danfo' buses or white 'Coaster' buses heading towards 'Ajah' or 'Abraham Adesanya'. Confirm with the conductor that they are going towards Lekki Phase 2 before boarding. These buses will ply the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Inform the conductor you are going to Lekki Phase 2. You will likely be dropped off around Abraham Adesanya Estate, which is the general area for Lekki Phase 2. From there, you'll need a final short ride.
From Abraham Adesanya Estate bus stop, take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a local 'Danfo' bus deeper into Lekki Phase 2, depending on your exact destination. Confirm the fare before boarding.
Always confirm your destination and fare with the conductor before boarding any bus.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded bus stops.
Try to carry smaller denominations of cash as conductors may not have change for large notes.
Buses can be crowded; be prepared to stand or sit closely with others.
It is generally not recommended to travel this route late at night using public transport due to increased safety risks ('one-chance' vehicles). If unavoidable, use well-lit, busy bus stops and consider ride-hailing apps for direct, tracked journeys, despite them not being public transport options.
Plan your journey to avoid peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM on weekdays). Use traffic apps like Google Maps for real-time updates. BRT can sometimes offer a slight advantage due to dedicated lanes, but heavy traffic can still affect it.
It's rare to find a single public bus going directly from Apongbon straight into Lekki Phase 2. Most public transport will require at least one connection, usually at CMS/Obalende and then again around Abraham Adesanya Estate or Ajah.
For intra-city travel, large luggage can be cumbersome. Buses have limited space, and you'll need to hold your bags. For very heavy or multiple pieces of luggage, a ride-hailing service might be more convenient, though it's not a public transport option.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid peak hour traffic. Early afternoons (around 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM) can also be less congested. Avoid 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM on weekdays.
Safety Rating
Medium. While main roads are generally safe, pickpocketing is common in crowded areas like Apongbon and CMS. 'One-chance' (unlicensed vehicles with criminal intent) is a risk, especially late at night or when taking private cars/vans from isolated spots. Stick to well-known public transport and busy bus stops.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a viable option for a significant portion of this route, specifically from CMS to Ajah. There is currently no active passenger rail service covering this specific intra-city route.
