From Lekki Phase 1, walk to the nearest BRT or Danfo bus stop on Lekki-Epe Expressway (e.g., Chisco Bus Stop, Lekki 1st Roundabout).
Take a BRT or Danfo heading towards CMS.
At CMS, look for a BRT or Danfo going to Oshodi. The BRT terminal is clearly marked.
From Oshodi (either the BRT terminal or the 'Under Bridge' area), find a Danfo heading to Ikotun.
At Ikotun Roundabout, alight and take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a smaller Danfo going to Abaranje.
LASTMA/VIO Hotspot: Be aware of traffic officials around CMS, Oshodi, and Ikotun Roundabout, which can cause delays.
If BRT is too crowded at CMS for Oshodi, look for Danfos heading to 'Mile 2' or 'Apapa' then transfer at Oshodi. This might be slightly longer but could offer more options.
At Oshodi, ensure you board Danfos from designated parks to avoid 'one-chance' situations.
Traveling this route late at night (after 8 PM) is not advisable due to increased security risks, including 'one-chance' operations and reduced public transport availability. If unavoidable, use well-lit, busy bus stops and consider sharing a ride with someone you know.
During off-peak hours, the journey can take between 2.5 to 3 hours. During peak traffic, it can easily extend to 4 to 5 hours, sometimes even more, especially if there's heavy rain or an accident.
No, there are no direct public buses (Danfo or BRT) that ply the entire route from Lekki Phase 1 to Abaranje. You will need to make at least two to three transfers at major hubs like CMS/Obalende, Oshodi, and Ikotun.
'One-chance' refers to criminals posing as public transport operators (Danfo, Keke, or even private cars) who kidnap and rob passengers. To avoid it, always board buses from designated, busy parks, avoid empty buses, and be wary of vehicles with suspicious passengers or drivers, especially at night.

Best Time to Travel
