Moving from Chevron to Iganmu means traveling from the Lekki axis down to the mainland area near Surulere and Apapa. The journey can take anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours depending heavily on the notorious Lagos traffic. Given recent fuel price adjustments, transport fares have significantly gone up. Commuters can choose between connecting multiple Danfo buses, combining a bus with the Lagos Blue Line Rail from Marina, or using private ride-hailing services for a more direct but expensive trip.

Stand at Chevron Bus Stop along the Lekki-Epe Expressway and board a direct Danfo bus heading to Obalende or CMS.
Drop at Obalende Bus Park, then walk over to the section where buses leave for Costain or Mile 2.
Board another Danfo going towards Costain and tell the conductor you will drop at Costain Under-bridge.
From Costain Under-bridge, enter a final short-distance Danfo or a Keke going towards Orile/Mile 2 and drop at the Iganmu bus stop.
Always hold small change ('wazo' or ₦200/₦500 notes) before you enter the Danfo to avoid rough arguments with conductors.
Keep your bags firmly zipped and hold them to your front when walking through Obalende and Costain bus stops.
Listen carefully to the conductor's destinations so you don't mistakenly enter a bus going to a different part of the Mainland.
If the bus driver wants to take a shortcut through backstreets to avoid traffic, follow them blindly only if other passengers agree.

Safety Rating
Medium - Commuters must stay alert, especially at major bus stops like CMS, Obalende, and Costain where pickpockets operate. Avoid showing your phone or carrying cash openly at the bus stops, especially early in the morning or late at night.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, partial but highly effective. You can take a Danfo from Chevron to CMS/Marina, and from Marina Station, you can easily board the modern Lagos Blue Line Rail directly to the Iganmu Train Station.

With the current fuel price realities, you should budget between ₦4,500 and ₦6,500 for a total round trip if you are combining Danfo buses and the train. It is always wise to keep an extra ₦1,500 in your pocket just in case fares spike due to unexpected rain or heavy traffic jams.
Yes, the Blue Line Rail has an official station built right at Iganmu. Boarding the train at Marina will bring you straight down to Iganmu in less than 15 minutes, completely bypassing the road traffic.
The worst morning rush hour is between 6:30 AM and 9:00 AM, when everyone from the Lekki axis is rushing towards Lagos Island and Mainland. In the evening, the return rush starts from 4:30 PM and peaks around 7:30 PM around Costain and Eko Bridge.
No, Keke (tricycles) are not allowed to ply long highway distances like the Lekki-Epe Expressway or Eko Bridge. Keke can only be used for short internal connections, like moving from the bus stop into the streets inside Iganmu or Chevron.
