Route Navigation
Lekki Phase 1 Gate Bus Stop
Walk to the nearest major bus stop within Lekki Phase 1, such as the one near the Lekki Phase 1 Gate. Look for yellow 'danfo' buses displaying 'CMS' or 'Obalende' on their front.
Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge
Board a 'danfo' bus heading towards 'CMS'. Confirm with the conductor that they are going in that direction before you get on. This bus will take you directly through Ikoyi.
Falomo Bridge
The bus will traverse the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge and proceed through the upscale Ikoyi area, passing significant landmarks. Remain attentive as your journey progresses.
CMS Bus Stop / CMS Under Bridge
Alight at the CMS Bus Stop, often referred to as 'Under Bridge CMS'. This is a central hub and the endpoint for many Lekki routes, putting you in the general vicinity of your 7.9km 'Ojo' destination.
Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS)
From CMS, your specific 'Ojo' destination (within the 7.9km radius from Lekki Phase 1) is likely a short walk. Alternatively, you can take a 'keke' (tricycle) or a local taxi for the final short stretch if it's not within immediate walking distance.
💡Pro Travel Tips
Always have small denominations (₦50, ₦100, ₦200) for bus fares, as conductors often do not have change for larger notes.
Rush hour (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) can significantly increase travel time and sometimes fare costs. Factor this into your planning.
Keep your belongings secure, especially your phone and wallet, particularly in crowded bus stops and while boarding/alighting.
