Walk or take a short local bike from your house to the main Eleko Junction along the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Stand at the roadside and look for a yellow Danfo bus or a mini-bus (Korope) going towards Ajah. Tell the conductor you will drop at Bogije.
From Bogije Bus Stop, board another quick connecting bus or a Keke Marwa heading straight towards Abijo.
Tell the driver or conductor 'Owa' or 'Drop' once you reach the Abijo Bus Stop, just before the popular Abijo GRA turnoff.
Always enter with 'change' (small Naira notes like ₦200 and ₦500) to avoid entering a fight with the bus conductor over balance.
Hold your phone and wallet tightly inside your bag, especially when the bus is loading at crowded junctions.
If you are confused, ask the locals or the loaders at the park ('Agbero') politely for the next bus passing by Abijo.
Listen carefully to the conductor so you do not pass your final bus stop while daydreaming or listening to music.

Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally safe during the day because it is a very busy commercial axis. However, you must be careful at night. Beware of pickpockets at crowded bus stops like Bogije and Awoyaya. Avoid boarding unmarked vehicles ('One-Chance') early in the morning or late at night. Always look out for the standard Lagos yellow color or corporate transport stickers before entering a vehicle.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is currently no Lagos State BRT dedicated lane or Rail service operating along this specific Ibeju-Lekki to Abijo axis. You will rely majorly on commercial yellow buses (Danfos), corporate coasters, mini-buses (Korope), or Keke Marwa.

Bypass the Ikeja Under-Bridge corridor from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Traffic builds rapidly due to commercial buses loading along the main road lanes.
Areas Affected
Lekki-Epe Expressway
Because of the current fuel price hikes, the total cost by commercial public bus ranges between ₦1,000 and ₦1,800. If you are using ride-hailing apps or private chartered cars, expect to pay between ₦4,500 and ₦7,500 depending on the time of day and traffic.
Yes, traffic can become terrible around Awoyaya and Bogije bus stops. This is usually caused by heavy trucks moving goods, bad portions of the road, and people parking illegally on the expressway. Always allocate an extra 30 to 45 minutes for your journey during peak hours.
Regular commercial Danfos and Koropes run until about 9:30 PM or 10:00 PM. However, it is not advisable to stay out that late. The road becomes dark, transport options reduce drastically, and fares can easily double or triple after 9:00 PM.
If heavy rain starts, try to find a safe shop or filling station to shelter if you are at a bus stop. If you are already inside a bus, expect the journey to slow down significantly due to flash floods on the road. Also, keep your windows closed to prevent rain from entering, but monitor your environment for safety.
