From your location in Isheri North, take a local 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a 'Danfo' (yellow mini-bus) heading towards Berger. You'll likely alight at the Berger bus stop.
At Berger, locate the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) terminal or the 'Danfo' park under the bridge. Board a BRT bus or a 'Danfo' heading to CMS or Obalende. BRT is usually faster, more comfortable, and often has a dedicated lane.
From CMS or Obalende, you can find 'Danfo' buses or BRT buses (if available on the Lekki corridor) going into Lekki. Make sure to specify your exact destination in Lekki (e.g., Lekki Phase 1, Ikate, Ajah) as fares can vary based on how far into Lekki you are going.
Always confirm your destination with the driver or conductor before boarding any public transport.
BRT buses are generally a more structured and usually safer travel experience.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops and buses.
Fares can increase significantly during peak hours, heavy traffic, or heavy rain.
The fastest way is usually by using BRT buses for the longest segments (Berger to CMS/Obalende, and Obalende to Lekki), combined with 'Keke' or 'Danfo' for the first and last mile. Traveling very early in the morning significantly reduces travel time.
Night travel is generally not recommended for public transport on this route due to security concerns, including 'one-chance' incidents. If unavoidable, use well-lit, busy bus stops and reputable transport options. It's best to complete your journey before 8:00 PM.
No, there are no direct public buses ('Danfo', BRT) that cover the entire route from Isheri North to Lekki. You will need to make at least one or two transfers at major hubs like Berger, CMS, Obalende, or Yaba.
For 'Danfo' and 'Keke', luggage space is very limited. Small bags or backpacks are fine. For BRT, there is usually a bit more space, but large suitcases might be problematic, especially during crowded periods. Expect to hold your luggage on your lap or at your feet.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are very early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) to avoid peak traffic periods. Weekends generally offer less traffic congestion compared to weekdays.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, evening travel requires caution due to 'one-chance' syndicates operating on major routes and bus stops, particularly around Berger, Otedola Bridge, and certain areas of the Island. Petty theft can also occur in crowded buses. Always be alert and keep your belongings secure.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for significant parts of this journey, specifically from Berger to CMS/Obalende, and from CMS/Obalende into Lekki. There is no rail (train) option for this specific route.
