From Demurin, take a Keke Napep (tricycle) or a local yellow Danfo (minibus) to Ketu Bus Stop, which is a major transport hub on Ikorodu Road.
At Ketu Bus Stop, locate the BRT terminal or the yellow Danfo park for buses heading towards 'CMS' or 'Marina'. Board either a BRT bus (if available directly to CMS) or a large yellow Danfo. This route will take you along Ikorodu Road and over the Third Mainland Bridge.
Alight at CMS Bus Stop. From CMS, look for yellow Danfos or BRT buses going to 'Lekki Phase 1', 'Lekki Toll Gate', or 'Ajah'. Board one heading towards your specific destination within Lekki. Confirm the destination with the conductor.
BRT buses are generally faster, more comfortable, and have fixed fares. They also have dedicated lanes, which helps in traffic.
Keep small change ready for Danfo fares, as conductors may not always have change for large denominations.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded buses and bus stops, to avoid pickpockets.
For Keke Napep and Danfos, you can generally carry a small to medium-sized bag or backpack. Large suitcases might be difficult to accommodate or may require you to pay an 'attachment' fare for occupying an extra seat. BRT buses have limited dedicated space for luggage, so keep it compact.
While main routes remain somewhat active, it's highly recommended to complete your journey before 8:00 PM if relying on public transport. If you must travel at night, stick to major, well-lit bus stops and areas. For safer night travel, especially if public transport is scarce or feels unsafe, consider using ride-hailing services.
Key bus stops in Lekki include Lekki Phase 1 Gate, Jakande, Chisco, VGC, and Ajah. Your final destination within Lekki will determine where you need to alight. Always communicate your specific destination to the conductor when boarding a bus to Lekki.
BRT buses typically operate using a travel card system (e.g., Cowry Card), which you load with funds. Yellow Danfos and Keke Napeps operate strictly on cash payment. It is essential to have small denominations of Naira (e.g., ₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500 notes) readily available.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are ideal to avoid the worst of peak hour traffic. Mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) usually offers the smoothest travel. Avoid traveling between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM due to heavy outbound traffic.
Safety Rating
Medium. While main routes are generally active and safe, be aware of pickpockets in crowded areas and potential 'one-chance' incidents in less regulated public transport. Traveling during daylight hours is always recommended for peace of mind.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a major transport option for parts of this route, especially from Ketu to CMS and CMS to Lekki, offering a more structured and often faster experience. There is currently no rail service connecting Demurin to Lekki.
