From Lekki Phase 2, take a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading towards Ajah.
At Ajah, find a 'Danfo' going to Obalende or CMS (Central Business District). CMS is a major hub.
From Obalende or CMS, board a 'Danfo' heading to Oshodi. Ensure the bus is going to the main Oshodi Underbridge or Oshodi Terminal.
At Oshodi, look for a 'Danfo' going to Mile 2. This is a crucial interchange for routes to the Badagry Expressway.
From Mile 2, take a 'Danfo' or 'Keke' (tricycle) heading towards Abule Ado. Confirm the destination with the conductor.
Always confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid disputes.
For the Ajah-CMS leg, sometimes 'short-trip' buses are available to areas like Falomo or Ikoyi. You can take these and then another bus to CMS, which might be faster if direct buses are scarce.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially at crowded bus stops like Oshodi and Mile 2.
Under normal traffic conditions, the journey can take between 3 to 4 hours. During peak hours or heavy traffic, it can easily extend to 5 hours or more. Always factor in extra time.
The cheapest way is by using a combination of 'Danfo' buses and potentially BRT for the longer legs. Expect to spend between ₦1,500 to ₦2,800 for a one-way trip, depending on traffic and specific bus choices. Always confirm fares before boarding.
Traveling late at night is not recommended for this long, multi-transfer route. If you must travel in the evening, try to complete your journey by 8:00 PM. Always choose well-lit and busy bus stops, and avoid isolated areas. Be cautious of 'one-chance' vehicles, especially if boarding buses that are not at designated, busy terminals.
Yes, LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and VIO (Vehicle Inspection Officers) are frequently seen in key areas. Be aware around the Lekki-Epe Expressway, Ajah, Falomo, Eko Hotel Roundabout, Third Mainland Bridge approaches, Oshodi, and Mile 2. Drivers are generally cautious, but sometimes passengers can be asked to alight if a bus is impounded for traffic offenses.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or during the late morning to early afternoon (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM). Avoid peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) as traffic can easily double your travel time.
