From your location in Bariga, take a 'Danfo' (yellow mini-bus) heading towards Obalende or CMS. Look for buses with 'Obalende' or 'CMS' written on them. You might need to take a short 'Keke' ride to a major bus stop like Pedro, Ilaje, or Bariga Market.
Alight at Obalende or CMS. Obalende is generally preferred as it's a major hub for Lekki-bound vehicles. If you land at CMS, you can easily walk or take another short bus to Obalende.
At Obalende, look for 'Danfo' or 'BRT' buses going to 'Lekki Phase 1' or 'Lekki-Epe Expressway'. Confirm with the conductor that it goes into Lekki Phase 1 (e.g., Admiralty Way).
Alight at your specific bus stop within Lekki Phase 1 (e.g., Admiralty Way junction, various stops along Lekki-Epe Expressway). From there, you might take a 'Keke' or walk to your final destination.
Always confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding.
Have exact change ready to avoid issues with conductors.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses.
Avoid traveling alone late at night if possible.
Yes, ride-hailing apps like Bolt or Uber are available in Lagos and can take you directly from Bariga to Lekki Phase 1. However, this guide focuses on public transport options.
Traveling at night on public transport carries higher risks in Lagos. If you must travel late, opt for ride-hailing apps or ensure you are in a well-populated, lit area and use established, reputable public transport routes.
For typical personal luggage (backpacks, small bags), 'Danfo' buses can accommodate them. For larger luggage, it might be challenging, and you might need to pay extra or consider a ride-hailing service instead. 'Keke Napep' has limited space.
Direct buses are rare. Most routes require at least one transfer, typically at major hubs like Obalende or CMS.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic. Mid-afternoons (between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM) can also be less congested. Avoid 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, it's wise to be cautious. Pickpocketing can occur in crowded buses and bus stops. 'One-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed by criminals posing as public transport operators) are a risk, especially late at night or on less busy routes. Always use well-lit, busy bus stops and avoid empty vehicles.
BRT / Rail / Water
