Walk out from Korede street or take a short bike ride to the main Chevron Bus Stop on the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Stand at the bus stop and flag down a yellow commercial Danfo bus going towards 'Ajah' or 'Jakande/Agungi' direction, depending on which side you are crossing from.
Tell the bus conductor you will drop at Jakande First Gate. Ensure you have your change ready before the bus reaches your stop.
Drop at Jakande First Gate and take a final short Keke Marwa if your final destination is deep inside the Jakande estate or market area.
Always enter the bus with your 'change' (smaller naira notes) to avoid fighting with the conductor over balance.
Keep your bag zipped and hold it tightly to your front when standing at the Jakande bus stop.
Check the tires and condition of the Danfo before entering, as breakdowns are very common in this heat.
Download a map or tracking app on your phone but do not look at it near an open bus window where someone can snatch it.

Medium - The route is generally safe during the day because it is always busy. However, you must watch out for pickpockets at major bus stops like Chevron and Jakande First Gate, especially when rushing to enter a bus at night. Avoid showing your phone or carrying cash openly in your hands.

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
Lekki-Epe Expressway
Because of the current fuel price hikes, using public transport like Danfo and Keke will cost you between ₦700 and ₦1,300 in total. If you choose a private ride-hailing car, expect to spend between ₦3,500 and ₦6,000 depending on the traffic density.
The fastest way is to leave very early before 6:30 AM. If you are already caught in traffic, taking a Keke Marwa along the side lanes is usually faster than entering a big Danfo bus because Kekes navigate tight spots easily.
It is safe up to around 8:00 PM because the area is well-lit and crowded. However, past 9:00 PM, the bus stop gets sketchy. Keep your head up, don't use headphones, and move quickly to your destination.
Yes, fares increase significantly. Once it rains heavily and the Lekki-Epe expressway starts flooding, transport drivers immediately increase fares by 50% to 100% because fewer vehicles are on the road.
