From Command, take a local taxi or 'keke' (tricycle) to a reputable interstate bus park in your area.
Board an interstate luxury bus heading directly to Lagos (typically dropping passengers at Jibowu or Berger Bus Stop). This is a long journey along AVM John Yisa Doko Way, A2, A10, and Ibadan-Ilorin Expressway.
From Jibowu/Berger, take a yellow bus ('Danfo') or BRT to CMS or Obalende. These are major transport hubs in Lagos.
From CMS/Obalende, take another 'Danfo' or 'keke' to Lekki Phase 1, specifically towards Admiralty Way or Wole Olateju Crescent, crossing the Lekki - Ikoyi Bridge.
Book your bus ticket in advance, especially during peak seasons or holidays, to secure a seat.
Always use well-known and reputable bus companies for safety and reliability.
Keep your valuables secure and close to you throughout the journey, especially at bus stops.
For local connections in Lagos, try to avoid peak rush hours (morning and evening) to save time and reduce stress.
For heavy luggage, an interstate luxury bus or a flight are the most convenient options. Shared taxis have limited boot space and might charge extra or refuse bulky items.
No, it is strongly advised to avoid night travel for this long interstate journey due to increased security risks, poor visibility, and potential breakdown assistance issues on highways.
To minimize exposure to Lagos traffic, aim to arrive in Lagos either very early in the morning (before 6 AM) or late at night (after 9 PM). When making local connections, try to avoid the typical morning (6-10 AM) and evening (4-8 PM) rush hours.
Yes, reputable interstate bus companies typically make one or two scheduled rest stops during the long journey. These stops allow passengers to use restrooms, buy food, and stretch their legs.
'One-chance' operators are criminals who pose as public transport providers (taxi, bus) to rob or kidnap passengers. To avoid them, use only reputable bus parks, official taxi ranks, or trusted ride-hailing services. Never board a vehicle that seems suspicious or has only one or two other passengers who appear to be waiting for a 'third' person.

Best Time to Travel

BRT / Rail / Water
No direct BRT or rail service covers the entire interstate route from Command to Lekki Phase 1. However, within Lagos, BRT services are available to connect from major bus terminals (e.g., CMS, TBS) to areas near Lekki, requiring a final local connection. The Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge rail line is an option from Ibadan to Lagos if you choose to break your journey.
