From your location in Lekki Phase 1, find a 'Danfo' (yellow minibus) heading to Obalende or CMS.
At Obalende or CMS, alight and look for another 'Danfo' going to Maryland.
From Maryland Bus Stop, take a 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) directly to Town Planning Way.
Always confirm the fare before boarding a Danfo, especially during peak hours or rain.
Keep your belongings secure, as crowded buses can be targets for pickpockets.
Some Danfos may 'short-drop' you if they fill up along the way; be prepared to pay extra for the full journey if this happens.
Traveling at night carries higher risks due to 'one-chance' operations and reduced visibility. If you must travel at night, use well-lit, busy routes and avoid isolated bus stops. It's generally advisable to complete your journey before 8:00 PM.
'One-chance' refers to a criminal tactic where passengers enter a seemingly legitimate public transport vehicle (often a Danfo or private car posing as one) and are then robbed or kidnapped. Always board vehicles from designated, busy bus stops, and be wary of vehicles with only a driver and no other passengers, or suspicious-looking passengers.
LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and VIO (Vehicle Inspection Office) officials are often present at major junctions, bridges, and areas prone to traffic violations (e.g., driving against traffic, illegal parking). You'll typically see their branded vehicles and uniforms. They are common around the Third Mainland Bridge entries/exits, Ikorodu Road, and major bus terminals like CMS and Maryland.
Keke Napeps are generally restricted from major expressways and bridges in Lagos. They are best for shorter distances within local communities or connecting between major bus stops. For this route, you'll likely use them for the final leg from Maryland to Town Planning Way.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or mid-day (between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM) are best to avoid peak traffic. Avoid evening rush hour (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible, as travel times can more than double.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents can occur, especially in isolated areas or late at night. Pickpocketing is common in crowded buses and bus stops. Always be aware of your surroundings.
