From Lekki Phase 1, find a 'Danfo' bus heading to CMS or Obalende. These buses are common around Lekki Phase 1 Gate or various bus stops along Admiralty Way/Lekki-Epe Expressway.
At CMS or Obalende, look for a 'Danfo' bus going to Mile 2. CMS is usually a better hub for buses heading towards the mainland.
From Mile 2, locate the bus park for buses heading towards Badagry. You will find 'Danfo' buses or 'Korope' (smaller buses) going directly to Volks Bus Stop.
Always confirm the destination with the bus conductor before boarding.
Have smaller denominations of cash ready, as conductors may not always have change.
Be aware of your belongings, especially in crowded bus parks like CMS, Obalende, and Mile 2.
On average, it can take between 1.5 to 2.5 hours during off-peak hours. During peak traffic, expect the journey to take 3 to 4 hours, or even longer.
Traveling at night, especially after 8 PM, requires extra caution. Public transport can be less frequent and some areas, particularly around Mile 2 and along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, can be less secure. It's best to travel during daylight hours if possible.
'One-chance' refers to public transport vehicles (usually unmarked Danfos or private cars posing as taxis) where criminals operate. They pick up unsuspecting passengers, rob them, and sometimes harm them. Always board buses from designated, busy bus stops and avoid empty or suspicious-looking vehicles.
While ride-hailing apps are available in Lagos, this guide focuses on public commuting methods. Using ride-hailing apps would be significantly more expensive for this long route, potentially costing ₦8,000 - ₦15,000 or more depending on surge pricing and traffic.
