Walk to the nearest major bus stop on Lekki-Epe Expressway, like the one near Jakande roundabout or Lekki Phase 1 Roundabout, where buses for CMS regularly load.
Flag down a yellow commercial bus (Danfo) clearly heading towards 'CMS' or 'TBS'. Confirm the destination with the conductor.
Tell the conductor you're dropping at 'CMS' and be prepared to disembark at the busy bus terminal near the Marina.
From CMS, navigate towards the bus park area where mainland-bound buses depart. Ask for directions to buses heading to 'Ketu' or 'Mile 12'.
Board a commercial bus clearly marked 'Ketu' or 'Mile 12'. Confirm the fare and destination with the conductor before settling in.
Drop at 'Mile 12' market area. This is a major interchange for buses going further into Ikorodu. Locate the distinct loading bay for Ikorodu buses.
Board a yellow Danfo or modern mini-bus destined for 'Ikorodu Garage'. Confirm the fare and destination before settling in.
The bus will terminate at 'Ikorodu Garage'. Disembark carefully and confirm your arrival at the main park.
Always keep smaller denominations (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) handy as conductors may not always have change for larger notes.
Be vocal and clear about your destination to the conductor ('I korodu garage, abi?'). Don't be shy to ask fellow passengers for help if unsure.
Pick-pocketing can occur in crowded bus stops; always secure your belongings, especially your phone and wallet, in front pockets or a secure bag.
Under normal traffic conditions, the journey can take between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. During peak hours (6-9 AM, 4-8 PM) or severe congestion, it can easily extend to 3-4 hours or more.
While major routes are generally busy, it's advisable to complete your journey before 8-9 PM when using commercial buses. For later travel, ride-hailing services are recommended for increased safety and convenience.
The best times to travel are usually mid-day (11 AM - 2 PM) or very early in the morning (before 6 AM) on weekdays. Weekends generally offer lighter traffic, especially on Sundays.
