From Lekki Phase 1, take a 'Danfo' (yellow bus) or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) going to CMS.
At CMS, locate the BRT terminal. Board a BRT bus heading towards Ketu/Mile 12. Ensure it's a direct Ketu bus or one that stops at Ketu.
From Ketu Bus Stop, take a 'Keke Napep' or a local 'Danfo' going into Demurin.
BRT buses are generally faster and more comfortable than 'Danfos' for the long stretch on Ikorodu Road.
Always buy your BRT ticket/card before boarding.
At Ketu, confirm the destination of the 'Keke' or 'Danfo' before boarding to ensure it goes directly to Demurin.
Yes, LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and VIO (Vehicle Inspection Office) officials are frequently seen at strategic points. Key hotspots include: around Lekki Toll Gate, Falomo Bridge, under the Third Mainland Bridge (especially around Oworonsoki/Adeniji Adele exits), and along Ikorodu Road (Maryland, Ojota, Ketu). Drivers usually know where to expect them, but delays can occur if vehicles are stopped for inspection or traffic offenses.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of the rush hour traffic. Mid-afternoon (between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM) can also be good. Avoid 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium. During the day, the route is generally safe. However, evening travel, especially from Ketu/Mile 12, requires caution. 'One-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed or kidnapped) can occur, particularly in less crowded buses or taxis late at night. Always board buses from recognized bus stops and be aware of your surroundings.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT is a major option for the Mainland leg of this journey (CMS to Ketu/Mile 12). There is no direct rail service for this specific intra-city route.
