From Lekki Phase 1, take a 'Danfo' bus or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) going towards Obalende or CMS/Marina.
At Obalende or CMS, find the BRT terminal or a 'Danfo' bus heading towards Ikorodu. Inform the conductor you are going to 'Ketu' or 'Mile 12'.
From Ketu or Mile 12, board another 'Danfo' bus specifically going to 'Ikorodu Garage'.
At Ikorodu Garage, take a 'Keke Napep' or a local 'Danfo' shuttle directly to Ipakodo Ferry Terminal Area.
Try to board BRT buses from designated terminals for a more organized and usually slightly faster journey.
Be prepared for multiple changes; confirm destinations with conductors before boarding.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded bus stops like Obalende, CMS, Ketu, and Mile 12.
By road, expect 2.5 to 4 hours, depending heavily on traffic. The ferry option can be faster, often taking 1.5 to 2 hours in total.
It is generally not advisable to use public 'Danfo' buses for this long route late at night due to security concerns like 'one-chance' incidents. Try to complete your journey before 7:00 PM. The ferry service usually stops earlier.
The multi-leg bus/BRT route is generally the cheapest, costing between ₦850 and ₦1,450.
No, BRT does not operate directly from Lekki to Ikorodu. You will need to combine 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' from Lekki to connect with the BRT corridor at places like Obalende/CMS, and then use BRT for a portion of the Ikorodu Road journey.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's peak hour traffic. Mid-day travel (11:00 AM - 3:00 PM) is also generally better.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, long public transport routes in Lagos can have 'one-chance' risks, especially if traveling late at night or through less populated areas. Pickpocketing can occur in crowded bus stops. Always be alert and avoid using your phone openly in traffic.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant portion of the journey along Ikorodu Road. There is no direct rail service for this specific route.
