From your location within Lekki Phase 1, make your way to a major bus stop along the Lekki-Epe Expressway (e.g., near Marwa Bus Stop or Admiralty Way junction). Board a yellow 'danfo' bus clearly marked with "CMS" or "Obalende" as its destination.
Pay your fare to the conductor and inform them you are dropping at "CMS". This bus will take you across the Eko Bridge into Lagos Island.
At CMS, alight and locate the designated loading area for buses heading towards "Ikeja Under Bridge" or "Ikeja Along". Board one of these buses. These buses typically traverse Funsho Williams Avenue (Western Avenue) or Ikorodu Road.
Inform the conductor that you are dropping at "Ikeja Under Bridge" (commonly shortened to 'Under Bridge'). This is a major interchange situated near the start of Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way.
From Ikeja Under Bridge, Computer Village (particularly the popular Pepple Street entrance) is a short 5-10 minute walk. Alternatively, you can take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a local 'Okada' (motorcycle taxi, subject to local restrictions) for a very short final leg.
**Rush Hour Reality:** To avoid prolonged bus queues and potentially higher fares, steer clear of peak rush hours (typically 6-9 AM and 4-8 PM on weekdays).
**Cash is King:** Always carry small denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500 notes) as conductors often do not have change for large bills.
**Confirm Fares:** Before boarding any Danfo, verbally confirm the fare to your specific destination with the conductor to prevent any misunderstandings or disputes.
The optimal times to travel are early morning (before 6:00 AM), late morning (after 10:00 AM), or mid-afternoon (between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM) on weekdays. Weekend traffic is generally lighter, especially on Sundays.
Yes, both options are generally safe for solo travelers. For Danfo, maintain awareness of your surroundings and keep valuables secure. For ride-hailing, always verify driver and vehicle details with the app before boarding.
Lagosians are generally helpful. Don't hesitate to ask other passengers or the bus conductor for guidance. You can also use Google Maps on your phone to track your progress and confirm major bus stops. When in doubt, alight at a major junction and re-evaluate your next connection.
