Moving from Dopemu in the mainland area of Lagos to Ikate on the Lekki peninsula involves crossing from the mainland over to the island. Because of fuel price adjustments and inflation, the commute requires strategic bus changes to save money and time. Commuters will travel along major highways through Oshodi and across the Third Mainland Bridge to get to the Lekki axis.

Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Board a local commercial bus (Danfo) from Dopemu Junction or walk down slightly to Under-bridge to catch a straight bus heading to Oshodi.
Drop at Oshodi Interchange, walk into the main park area, and search for a Danfo or coaster bus going straight to Obalende or CMS.
From Obalende bus stop, cross over or locate the park where buses load passengers directly for Ajah or Lekki, and tell the conductor you will drop at Ikate.
Alight safely at Ikate bus stop along the Lekki-Epe Expressway. If your final location is deep inside the street, enter a local Keke or take a short walk.
