Route Navigation
Marwa Bus Stop (Lekki Phase 1)
From any designated bus stop within Lekki Phase 1 (e.g., Marwa Bus Stop or Lekki Phase 1 Gate), board a commercial bus (Danfo) heading to CMS or Obalende. Confirm with the conductor.
CMS Bus Stop / Obalende Park
Alight at CMS or Obalende. From there, locate the bus park or designated bus stops for buses heading towards Oshodi. Ensure you specify 'Oshodi Under Bridge' or 'Oshodi Terminal'.
Oshodi Transport Interchange (Under Bridge)
At Oshodi, specifically the Agege Motor Road axis (usually under the bridge), board another Danfo heading towards 'Ikeja Along' or 'PWD'. This route avoids the main Ikeja roundabout traffic.
PWD Bus Stop / Ikeja Along
Drop at PWD Bus Stop or Ikeja Along. Cross the road carefully if required and look for a local Danfo or Keke Napep (tricycle) heading directly to Agege Pen Cinema.
Agege Pen Cinema
Upon reaching Agege Pen Cinema, you can either walk to your specific destination within Agege or take a short Keke Napep or local taxi for deeper penetration into Agege streets.
💡Pro Travel Tips
Always have small denominations of Naira notes (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) ready to pay your fare; conductors rarely have change for large notes.
Be prepared for crowded buses, especially during peak hours. If comfort is a priority, consider off-peak travel or the alternative option.
Don't hesitate to ask fellow passengers or market women for directions if you're unsure about a bus stop or connection; locals are generally helpful.

❓Route FAQ
What's the best time to travel from Lekki Phase 1 to Agege to avoid traffic?
To minimize traffic, aim to leave Lekki very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM). Avoid peak evening hours (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) as much as possible, as this route experiences significant congestion.
Is it safe to travel by commercial bus at night on this route?
While commercial buses generally operate into the night, it's advisable to complete your journey before 9:00 PM for safety and ease of finding connections. For travel after 9:00 PM, ride-hailing services are a safer and more direct option.
Can I use a single ticket/card for the entire commercial bus journey?
No, for the standard commercial bus (Danfo) route, you'll pay separately for each leg of the journey to different conductors. The BRT system uses a dedicated card, but it's separate from traditional Danfo fares, so you'll need cash for Danfos.
