Best Time to Travel
To beat the morning rush, leave Lakowe between 5:00 AM and 5:30 AM. If you miss this window, wait until 10:00 AM when the morning traffic has reduced. For evening travel, try to pass the Lekki-Epe axis before 4:00 PM, or wait out the evening rush until after 8:30 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally safe during the day, but you must be very alert at major crowded parks like Ajah and CMS. Beware of pickpockets who mix with the crowd. Avoid boarding 'One-Chance' buses (fake commercial vehicles used by criminals) by only entering buses inside the main, recognized garages. Keep your phone and wallet safe, especially when rushing to enter a bus.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or train from Lakowe to Anthony. However, once you get to CMS or Obalende, you can find standard blue BRT buses going towards the Mainland. Also, the Lagos Blue Line Rail operates from Mile 2 to CMS, which does not directly help this specific route, so you will rely mostly on Danfo buses, Coaster buses, and e-hailing cars.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
