Stand at Korede junction and enter a local commercial bus heading towards Mile 2.
Drop at Mile 2 Under-bridge, walk carefully over to the bus terminal, and board a large capacity bus or Danfo going straight to CMS or Obalende.
From CMS or Obalende bus station, enter a dedicated BRT bus or a fast-moving Danfo going to Ajah.
Drop at Ajah under the flyover, then enter a final short-trip Danfo or a Korope (mini-bus) heading down towards Abijo or Epe, and tell the driver you will drop at Abijo bus stop.
Always hold your smaller change (Naira notes) in your hand before you enter the bus so you do not have issues with the conductor.
Ask the driver or conductor directly if the bus is passing through your exact bus stop before you sit down.
Keep your bags firmly zipped and place them on your lap instead of your back when moving through crowded changing spots like Mile 2.
Download a local transport app or use digital wallets because some modern commercial buses accept digital ticketing cards.

Safety Rating
Medium - Be very alert at major connection points like Mile 2 and CMS, especially in the early mornings and late nights. Keep your phone and wallet safe from pickpockets (One-Chance operators) inside crowded motor parks. Always look out for official transport union uniforms.
BRT / Rail / Water
Lagos Blue Line Rail is available from Mile 2 to Marina/CMS. Standard BRT buses run heavily from CMS/Obalende down to Ajah, but you will need standard Danfo or private cars to complete the trip from Ajah to Abijo.

Bypass the Ikeja Under-Bridge corridor from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Traffic builds rapidly due to commercial buses loading along the main road lanes.
Areas Affected
Lagos-Badagry Expressway
Due to recent fuel price increases and high transport inflation, going by public commercial buses will cost you between ₦2,300 and ₦3,500 in total. If you use express vehicles or private cars, it will cost significantly more.
Yes, you can use the Lagos Blue Line Rail for a portion of the trip. You can board the train from Mile 2 and ride it to Marina/CMS. From Marina, you must switch to road transport (buses or cars) to finish the journey to Abijo.
The safest window is during broad daylight, from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Avoid moving through these major transit areas very late at night or before dawn when area boys and pickpockets operate easily under the cover of darkness.
When heavy rain falls, transport fares along the Lekki-Epe Expressway can spike rapidly by 40% to 60%. This happens because flash floods slow down traffic, and fewer bus drivers choose to operate on flooded roads.
