At Berger, alight and board another yellow bus (Danfo) specifically going to Ojota Bus Stop.
At Ojota, locate the BRT terminal. Purchase a BRT card (if you don't have one, or you can ask a fellow passenger to help you tap in with their card for a small fee) and board a blue BRT bus heading to CMS (Costain/Marina route).
From CMS, cross to the side where you can easily find yellow buses (Danfo) or commercial mini-vans (Korope) going directly into Lekki Phase 1 (e.g., Admiralty Way, Lekki Gate, Jakande). Make sure to specify your exact destination within Lekki Phase 1 to the conductor.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is typically early morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic. Mid-afternoon (between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM) can also offer slightly less congested conditions. Weekends, especially Sundays, generally have lighter traffic across most routes.
Safety Rating
Medium. While daylight travel on main routes is generally busy and relatively safe, travelers should be cautious of 'one-chance' operators. These are criminal gangs disguised as public transport providers, especially when boarding shared taxis or buses that are not at designated, busy bus stops, particularly at night. Always keep valuables secure, avoid displaying expensive items, and be aware of your surroundings. Avoid traveling very late at night if possible.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant portion of this journey, specifically from Ojota to CMS or Obalende. There is currently no functional passenger rail service covering this specific intra-city route from Isheri North to Lekki Phase 1.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
