From your location in Lekki Phase 1, find a Danfo bus heading towards Obalende or CMS. You might need to take a short Keke Napep or walk to a major bus stop like Lekki Phase 1 Gate or Admiralty Way.
At Obalende or CMS, locate the BRT terminal (at TBS for CMS, or dedicated BRT stops near Obalende). Board a BRT bus clearly marked for 'Berger'.
Alight at Berger Bus Stop, which is a major interchange. From Berger, you will find smaller Danfo buses or Keke Napep taxis going directly into Isheri North. Ask for 'Isheri North' or 'Isheri Olowora'.
Using BRT where available is often faster due to dedicated lanes, helping you beat some traffic.
At Berger, avoid 'call-me' taxis if possible, as they can be overpriced. Look for shared Danfo or Keke Napep at designated parks.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses and bus stops where pickpocketing can occur.
LASTMA and VIO officials are frequently seen around Lekki Toll Gate, Admiralty Way, Obalende, CMS, and the Third Mainland Bridge entry/exit points. They also have a significant presence around Berger, especially on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, monitoring traffic and vehicle compliance.
Traveling at night carries higher risks in Lagos. While major routes are generally busy, it's advisable to complete your journey before 8:00 PM. If you must travel at night, stick to major, well-lit bus stops, avoid sparsely filled buses, and always inform someone of your route and estimated arrival time.
To avoid 'one-chance' vehicles, always board buses at designated, busy bus stops. Avoid buses that are not fully loaded or have very few passengers, especially at night. Look for buses with other passengers already inside. If you feel uneasy, trust your gut and wait for another bus.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are early morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the heaviest peak hour traffic. Afternoons are generally heavy from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Weekends, especially Sundays, offer lighter traffic conditions.
Safety Rating
Medium. While major routes are generally busy and safer during the day, 'one-chance' vehicles can be a risk, especially late at night or in less crowded buses. Pickpocketing is common in crowded bus stops. Always be alert, avoid displaying valuables, and choose busy, well-lit public transport options. Avoid traveling alone very late at night if possible.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant portion of this route, specifically from the CMS/TBS axis to Berger. There is no local flight option or train service available for this specific intrastate route within Lagos.
