From Ayobo, board a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading towards Iyana-Ipaja.
At Iyana-Ipaja, alight and look for a 'Danfo' or BRT bus going to Oshodi. These buses will take the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway and Agege Motor Road.
From Oshodi (either BRT Terminal or regular bus stop), board a BRT bus or 'Danfo' going to CMS/TBS (Terminal Bus Stop). This route often uses Herbert Macaulay Way and the Third Mainland Bridge.
At CMS/TBS, alight and look for a 'Danfo' or shared taxi heading towards Lekki Phase 1. You can also find smaller buses or 'Keke' (tricycles) that go towards Ikoyi (Falomo) and then Lekki. You'll cross the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid peak traffic, the best times to travel are typically between 9:30 AM and 3:00 PM on weekdays, or early mornings (before 6:00 AM) and late evenings (after 8:00 PM). Weekends generally have lighter traffic, but major markets and event areas can still be congested.
Safety Rating
Medium. While Lagos roads are generally safe during the day, long journeys across the city always require awareness. 'One-chance' incidents, though rare, can occur, especially when boarding buses from isolated stops late at night. Exercise caution, especially during evening travel, and avoid displaying valuables openly.
