Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From your exact location within the Free Trade Zone Area, take a local bus or Keke Napep (tricycle) to the Eleko Junction or the main Lekki-Epe Expressway bus stop.
At Eleko Junction or the main bus stop, board a Danfo (yellow bus) heading towards Ajah. These buses are plentiful and depart frequently.
From Ajah, look for a Danfo or a larger commercial bus heading towards Obalende or CMS (Central Business District). Make sure the bus conductor confirms it's going that far. This will be a long leg of the journey along the Lekki-Epe Expressway, through Lekki Phase 1 and Victoria Island.
Once you arrive at Obalende or CMS, you are very close to Ikoyi. From Obalende, you can take another short Danfo ride or a Keke Napep towards Falomo Bridge or specific areas within Ikoyi like Awolowo Road. If at CMS, cross to the Obalende side or take a taxi/Keke from there.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM on weekdays, or early Saturday mornings (before 8:00 AM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's notorious traffic congestion. Avoid peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, long journeys with multiple transfers can expose travelers to petty theft or 'one-chance' incidents, particularly if traveling late in the evening or appearing disoriented. Always keep valuables secure and be aware of your surroundings.

BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant portion of this route, specifically from Ajah/Abraham Adesanya to CMS/TBS. There is no train service available for this intra-city route.
