Walk to a major Danfo bus stop in Ikoyi, such as the one near Falomo Bridge Underbridge or the entrance to the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge.
Board a Danfo heading towards 'Lekki Phase 1' or 'Lekki Gate'. Make sure to confirm with the conductor.
Alight at Lekki Phase 1 Bus Stop (often referred to as 'Lekki Gate' or 'Lekki Roundabout').
From Lekki Phase 1 Bus Stop, look for another Danfo heading into Lekki Phase 1. Ask for one going 'Admiralty Way'. You might need to walk a short distance to a point where buses ply Admiralty Way.
Always have small denominations of Naira notes (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) ready for bus fares.
Confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid disputes.
LASTMA and VIO are often present around the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge and Ozumba Mbadiwe, ensuring traffic flow. Avoid arguing with them.
While major roads like Ozumba Mbadiwe are usually busy at night, it's generally advisable to be cautious, especially if you are alone. If possible, complete your journey before 9:00 PM. Stick to well-lit areas and avoid isolated spots.
It is highly unlikely to find a single Danfo that goes directly from Ikoyi to Admiralty Way without requiring a change. The options provided (two-stage Danfo or Danfo + Keke) are the most common and efficient public transport methods for this route.
If there's heavy traffic, your travel time can increase significantly, sometimes doubling or tripling. During such times, Keke Napeps might be able to navigate smaller streets or shoulders faster than buses, but this also depends on the specific traffic bottleneck. Always factor in extra time during peak hours or rainy weather.
In Ikoyi, look for buses around 'Falomo Underbridge' or 'Ikoyi Link Bridge'. In Lekki, the main drop-off point is usually 'Lekki Phase 1 Gate' or 'Lekki Roundabout'. From there, you'll find transport within Lekki Phase 1.
