Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Start your journey at the Isheri Egbe bus stop or a nearby major junction (like Isheri Roundabout). Board a Keke Marwa (tricycle) or a yellow Danfo bus heading towards Egbeda or Iyana Ipaja. Confirm the destination with the driver or conductor.
From Egbeda or Iyana Ipaja bus stop, look for a yellow Danfo bus clearly marked for 'Oshodi'. These buses will take you to the Oshodi Terminus. Be prepared for potential traffic on this stretch.
At Oshodi Terminus, proceed to the dedicated BRT terminal. Purchase or top up your BRT card (if you don't have one) and board a red BRT bus designated for 'CMS' or 'TBS' (Tafawa Balewa Square). The BRT lane offers a faster journey across the Third Mainland Bridge.
From CMS or TBS, cross to the bus stop where yellow Danfo buses load for Lekki. Board a Danfo bus heading towards Lekki Phase 1, Ikate, Jakande, or Ajah, depending on your precise destination in Lekki. Always confirm the route with the conductor.
If your final destination is deeper into Lekki (e.g., Chevron, VGC, Ajah), you might need to alight at a major Lekki junction (like Lekki Phase 1 Gate or Jakande) and take another short Danfo ride or a Keke Marwa for the final leg.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is mid-morning (after 9:00 AM) or early afternoon (before 3:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's peak hour traffic. Traveling during these times can significantly reduce your journey duration.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, it's wise to be aware of your surroundings in crowded bus stops like Oshodi and CMS. Avoid empty public transport vehicles, especially late in the evening, to mitigate 'one-chance' risks. Keep valuables secure and out of sight.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a reliable option for the Oshodi to CMS/TBS segment of this journey. There is currently no direct rail service connecting Isheri Egbe to Lekki for this intra-city route.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
