Compiling Route Details...
Moving from Awoyaya on the Lekki-Epe corridor down to Onikan on Lagos Island is a long and heavy journey. Because of fuel price increases, transport fares go up and down frequently, making this trip costly. You will pass through major choked areas like Ajah, Lekki Toll Gate, and Falomo. To survive this route without breaking the bank or losing your energy, you need to understand the different bus options, how to cross the key connection stops, and how to beat the regular morning rush hour traffic.

Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Stand at Awoyaya Bus Stop along the expressway and board a yellow Danfo bus or a small commercial Suzuki minibus (Korope) going straight to Ajah.
Drop at Ajah Under-bridge. Cross the pedestrian path carefully or use the overhead bridge walkways to find the park where big buses and danfos load for Obalende or CMS.
Board another Danfo heading to Obalende or CMS. Tell the conductor you will drop at Maroko or Sandfill if you want to connect via Falomo, or follow the bus to Obalende Last Stop.
From Obalende, enter a short-distance Keke Marwa or take a brisk 10-15 minute walk down to Onikan via King George V Road.

Best Time to Travel
Leave Awoyaya between 5:00 AM and 5:45 AM if you want to reach Onikan early for morning work. If you miss this early window, wait until 10:30 AM when the morning rush has cleared. For evening return trips, move before 4:00 PM or stay back until 8:30 PM to avoid sleeping on the road.
Safety Rating
Medium - Be very alert at night around Ajah Under-bridge and CMS/TBS area. Keep your phones inside your bags while inside Danfo to avoid 'one-chance' criminals or pickpockets who snatch items through the bus windows.
BRT / Rail / Water
No direct Lagos Rail Mass Transit or Blue/Red Line trains service this Epe corridor yet. However, standard large capacity LBSL (Lagos Bus Services Limited) franchise buses operate from Ajah directly to TBS and Obalende, which is very close to Onikan.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
