Walk to the Chevron Bus Stop, which is typically located just before the Chevron Toll Gate. Look for commercial buses (Danfo or Coaster) with 'Lekki Phase 1', 'Victoria Island', or 'CMS' written on their front. Confirm with the conductor that they are going past Lekki Phase 1 Gate.
Board the bus and tell the conductor you will alight at 'Lekki Phase 1 Gate' or 'Eleganza Bus Stop' (a well-known landmark near the gate). The bus will drop you on the main Lekki-Epe Expressway, directly opposite or very close to the Lekki Phase 1 entrance.
From the Lekki Phase 1 Gate, you will find Keke Napep (tricycles) or Maruwa (motorized rickshaws) waiting. Board one and tell the driver your specific street or destination within Lekki Phase 1 (e.g., Admiralty Way, Fola Osibo Street).
Always have small denominations of Naira (e.g., ₦50, ₦100, ₦200) for bus and Keke fares, as conductors often don't have change for large notes.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses.
Confirm the destination and fare with the conductor/driver before boarding to avoid misunderstandings.
During off-peak hours (mid-day), the journey can take between 15-30 minutes. During peak hours (morning and evening rush), it can extend to 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, or even more if there's heavy traffic or an accident.
The cheapest way is by taking a commercial bus (Danfo/Coaster) from Chevron to Lekki Phase 1 Gate, and then a Keke Napep or Maruwa to your final destination within Lekki Phase 1. This combined approach costs between ₦300 and ₦700.
While the Lekki-Epe Expressway is generally busy and well-lit, it's advisable to exercise caution when traveling at night. Avoid waiting at isolated bus stops. If possible, opt for a 'drop' car or ensure you travel with trusted companions.
No, there are no train services or direct ferry options for this specific route. Public transport is primarily road-based, using buses, tricycles, and taxis.
