Walk to the nearest major bus stop on Admiralty Way or Marwa Bus Stop. Look for 'Danfo' (yellow buses) or 'Korope' (smaller buses) heading towards 'Ajah' or 'Epe'. Confirm with the conductor.
Board a bus clearly indicating 'Ajah' or 'Epe'. Pay your fare to the conductor. Ensure you have smaller denominations.
The bus will proceed along the Lekki-Epe Expressway. You will pass major points like the Jakande Roundabout and the Chevron Toll Plaza. There's no need to drop at these points.
Continue on the main road, passing notable areas such as Victoria Garden City (VGC) and Ikota. The journey might feel long due to potential traffic.
As you get closer, you'll pass Sangotedo and Abraham Adesanya Roundabout. Be attentive as your destination is approaching.
Tell the conductor you're dropping at 'Ajah Market'. The bus will usually stop right in front of or very close to the market entrance.
**Traffic Awareness:** This route is notoriously prone to heavy traffic, especially during morning (7 AM - 10 AM) and evening (4 PM - 8 PM) rush hours. Plan your journey to avoid these times if possible.
**Exact Change:** Always have smaller denominations (₦100, ₦200, ₦500 notes) when using Danfo buses to avoid issues with conductors, as they sometimes claim not to have change.
**Safety First:** Keep your belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings, especially when waiting at bus stops or in crowded buses.
Under normal traffic conditions, the journey by car or ride-hailing can take 30-45 minutes. By Danfo, it might be 45 minutes to 1 hour. During peak hours, however, this can easily extend to 1.5 to 2 hours or even more.
Generally, yes, it is safe. Danfos are a common mode of transport for millions of Lagosians. However, it's always advisable to be vigilant, keep your belongings secure, and avoid late-night travel if possible. Choose buses that appear well-maintained and not overcrowded.
To minimize traffic, it's best to travel outside of typical rush hours: before 6:30 AM in the morning and between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM in the afternoon. Weekends, particularly Sunday mornings, also offer less traffic.
