From your location in Lekki Phase 1, walk to the nearest major bus stop on Admiralty Way or Lekki-Epe Expressway (e.g., 'Lekki Phase 1 Gate', 'Fola Osibo').
Board a Danfo heading towards 'CMS' (Costain/Marina/CMS). This bus will take you through Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue, Falomo Bridge, and then onto Eko Bridge or Carter Bridge, eventually to CMS.
At CMS, alight and look for another Danfo or Keke Napep (tricycle) heading to 'Idumota' or 'Balogun Market'. You can also walk if you prefer, it's about 15-20 minutes.
From Idumota or Balogun, Campos Square Area is a short walk (5-10 minutes) or a very brief Keke Napep ride. Ask for directions to 'Campos Square'.
Always confirm the destination with the bus conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way.
Keep your valuables secure, especially in crowded areas like CMS and Idumota.
If walking from CMS to Idumota, be mindful of traffic and hawkers.
It's generally not advisable to travel on public transport to Lagos Island late at night due to increased security risks and reduced availability of transport. If you must, try to leave before 8:00 PM and use well-lit, busy routes.
Expect increased presence around the Lekki Toll Gate, Falomo Bridge, and the approaches to Eko Bridge and Carter Bridge, as well as general enforcement on Lagos Island streets like Broad Street and Nnamdi Azikiwe Street. Drivers are usually aware and will try to avoid issues.
For intra-Lagos routes, especially short ones, the 'along' logic is less common than simply stating your destination to the conductor. However, you might hear drivers or conductors call out 'along Falomo' or 'along Ozumba' to indicate they are going in that general direction, allowing you to alight at specific points.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings/mid-day (10:30 AM - 2:00 PM) to avoid peak traffic. Avoid traveling during evening rush hour (4:00 PM - 7:30 PM) if possible, as traffic can significantly increase travel time.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos Island, especially around markets like Idumota and Balogun, is very crowded. Be aware of pickpockets. 'One-chance' incidents can occur in some public buses, especially late at night. Travel during daylight hours is generally safer.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT is partially available for this route. You can use BRT from certain stops on the Lekki-Epe corridor up to CMS. There is no direct rail service to Campos Square Area.
