From your location in Ikoyi (e.g., Falomo, Awolowo Road), take a 'Danfo' bus going to CMS or TBS (Tafawa Balewa Square).
At CMS/TBS, look for 'Danfo' buses heading to Apapa. Confirm with the conductor that they are going towards 'Wharf Road' or 'Eleganza' or 'Apapa Port'. This bus will cross the Eko Bridge.
From Wharf Road or Eleganza bus stop in Apapa, take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or another short 'Danfo' that is specifically going to Creek Road.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic. Mid-afternoon (between 2:00 PM and 3:30 PM) can also be less congested. Avoid traveling during evening rush hours (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) if possible, as traffic to Apapa can be extremely heavy and unpredictable.
Safety Rating
Medium. Daytime travel is generally safe. However, the Apapa area, particularly around the port and truck parks, can be less secure at night. Be aware of your surroundings, especially when waiting for transport or walking in dimly lit areas. 'One-chance' operators are a risk in any part of Lagos, so always use marked public transport at designated bus stops and avoid isolated or suspicious vehicles.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is not directly available for the full route from Ikoyi to Creek Road. There is no rail service connecting Ikoyi directly to Apapa for passenger travel within Lagos. The ferry service offers a significant alternative to road travel.
Most major parks at Jibowu and Utako now accept bank transfers, but network delays are common. Keep a buffer of N2,000 cash for loading fees and terminal taxes.
