From Lekki Phase 1, take a Danfo or Keke heading towards Obalende or CMS.
Alight at Obalende or CMS. Walk to the BRT Terminal.
Board a BRT bus going to Ojodu Berger.
From Ojodu Berger BRT Terminal, take a Keke Napep or a smaller Danfo shuttle to River Valley Estate.
If the BRT queue at CMS/Obalende is too long, look for 'short-trip' BRT buses to 'Fadeyi' or 'Maryland' and then connect to another BRT or Danfo to 'Berger'. This can sometimes save time but might cost slightly more overall.
Always confirm the destination with the bus conductor before boarding, even for BRT.
During off-peak hours, the journey can take about 1.5 to 2 hours. During peak traffic, it can easily extend to 2.5 to 3.5 hours or even more.
It is generally advisable to avoid late-night travel (after 9:00 PM) on public transport, especially if you are unfamiliar with the route. If unavoidable, use well-lit, busy bus stops and ensure your phone is charged.
The BRT-focused option (Option 1) is usually the most economical and often more predictable in terms of timing, especially if you can get on a BRT quickly.

Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid peak hour congestion. Evenings after 8:00 PM are also usually clearer, but consider personal safety. Avoid 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM for the least stressful journey.
