Traveling from Erunwen, a part of Ikorodu in Lagos, to Lekki on Lagos Island requires navigating several major Lagos arteries. This guide focuses on reliable public transport options, primarily using Danfo (yellow buses), BRT (red/blue public buses), and Keke Napep (tricycles) for local connections. Expect multiple transfers and significant travel time due to Lagos traffic.

Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Erunwen, take a Keke Napep (tricycle) or a local Danfo (yellow public bus) to Ikorodu Garage, which is the main transport hub in Ikorodu.
At Ikorodu Garage, locate the BRT terminal. Purchase or top-up your BRT card (if you don't have one, you can buy one at the terminal). Board a BRT bus heading towards CMS (Marina). This is a dedicated lane, offering a faster journey than regular Danfo buses.
Alight at CMS Bus Stop. From CMS, you will find numerous Danfo buses heading to various parts of Lekki (e.g., Lekki Phase 1, Ikate, Ajah). Confirm your specific Lekki destination with the conductor before boarding.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are generally mid-mornings (around 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or late evenings (after 8:00 PM) to avoid the notorious Lagos peak hour traffic. Peak hours are typically 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM on weekdays.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, travelers should be vigilant. Petty theft, pickpocketing, and 'one-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed by criminals posing as public transport operators) can occur, especially during late hours or in less crowded buses. Always confirm your destination with the conductor/driver, avoid late-night travel if possible, and keep valuables out of sight.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) services are highly available and recommended for the major segment from Ikorodu to CMS/TBS. There are currently no train services connecting Erunwen or Ikorodu directly to Lekki.
The Oshodi multi-terminal is highly secure, but pickpockets operate on the outer pedestrian bridges. Keep phones and wallets zipped in inner pockets.
