From Lekki Phase 2, take a 'Danfo' bus going towards Ajah. Look for buses at the designated bus stops near your location.
At Ajah, alight and find another 'Danfo' bus heading to CMS or Obalende.
From CMS or Obalende, locate buses going to Oshodi. Ensure the bus is going to 'Oshodi Under Bridge' or 'Oshodi Isale' for easier connection.
At Oshodi, look for 'Danfo' buses or 'Korope' (smaller buses) heading to Ikotun. This is a major interchange, so be clear about your destination.
From Ikotun Roundabout, take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a smaller 'Danfo' bus that goes directly into Abaranje.
Always confirm your bus fare before boarding to avoid disputes.
Enter 'short-trip' buses within Oshodi to beat the long queues for direct Ikotun buses if necessary (e.g., take one to Ejigbo and then another to Ikotun).
Keep your belongings secure, especially at crowded bus stops like Oshodi and Ikotun.
There isn't one single 'fastest' public transport option. Combining a 'Danfo' with BRT (Option 2) for the middle segment can sometimes save time, especially during peak traffic. However, overall journey time heavily depends on Lagos traffic on the day.
No, there are no direct public buses from Lekki Phase 2 to Abaranje. You will need to take multiple stages and change buses at major transport hubs.
It is generally not advisable to travel this long route late at night using public transport due to security concerns like 'one-chance' and reduced availability of buses. If you must travel late, consider safer alternatives or ensure you are with trusted company.
It's wise to carry at least ₦3,000 - ₦4,000 in cash to cover fares and have a buffer, as not all bus stops accept cashless payments. Ensure you have smaller denominations for easier transactions.
LASTMA and VIO officials are frequently seen around major junctions and bus stops such as Ajah, Iyana Oworo, Oshodi, and Ikotun. They monitor traffic flow and enforce regulations, so expect potential delays if there are incidents.
