From Lekki Phase 1 (e.g., Admiralty Way or Lekki Gate Bus Stop), find a yellow Danfo bus heading towards 'Obalende' or 'CMS'. These buses will pass through Falomo.
Alight at 'Falomo Roundabout' or 'Falomo Bridge Underbridge' bus stop. This is a major interchange point.
From Falomo, look for smaller yellow buses (often called 'Korope') or Keke Napep (tricycles) heading into 'Ikoyi'. Specify 'Awolowo Road' or 'Parkview Estate'. Keke Napeps can take you deeper into the estate.
Alight at the main entrance of Parkview Estate on Awolowo Road or your specific destination within the estate if using a Keke Napep.
Always confirm the destination with the bus conductor before boarding to ensure they are going your desired route.
For the second leg from Falomo, a Keke Napep might be more convenient for direct entry into Parkview Estate, but negotiate the fare beforehand.
LASTMA and VIO officials are often visible around Falomo, ensuring traffic rules are followed. Be aware of your surroundings.
No, there is no single direct public bus route. You will need to take at least one transfer, typically at Falomo or the Ikoyi Link Bridge area.
If you are in a public transport vehicle (Danfo/Korope) that uses the bridge, the toll fee is usually factored into the fare. You won't pay it separately. For private vehicles, the toll is a separate charge.
Key bus stops in Lekki Phase 1 for this journey include those along Admiralty Way and the Lekki Gate Bus Stop. You can usually find buses heading towards Falomo or Ikoyi from these points.
While theoretically possible, it's not practical or cost-effective for the entire distance from Lekki Phase 1 to Parkview Estate. Keke Napeps are best used for shorter distances, especially for the final leg within Ikoyi or to navigate inside estates.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy traffic, travel early in the morning (before 6:30 AM) or late in the evening (after 8:00 PM). Mid-day (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) can also offer a relatively smoother journey compared to peak hours.
Safety Rating
Medium. This route is generally safe during the day. However, like any major city, exercise caution, especially when traveling late at night. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid displaying valuables. The 'one-chance' risk, where passengers are robbed in transit, is a general Lagos concern, though less common on these specific, well-trafficked routes.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) or rail service connecting Lekki Phase 1 directly to Parkview Estate. BRT routes generally terminate at Falomo or CMS, requiring a transfer to other public transport modes to reach Parkview.
