From Lekki Phase 2, take a Keke Napep or Danfo bus heading towards Ajah.
At Ajah Under Bridge, board a large Danfo bus or Coaster bus going to CMS/Obalende.
From CMS or Obalende, take a Danfo bus heading to Ojota.
At Ojota, cross to the other side (if needed) and find a Keke Napep or Danfo going to Alapere.
Enter 'short-trip' buses from Ajah to CMS/Obalende if long direct buses are scarce, though it might cost slightly more.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially at crowded bus stops like Ojota and CMS.
LASTMA officials are very active around CMS, Obalende, and Ojota; bus drivers are usually careful there.
It is generally not advisable to use public transport for this long route late at night (after 8:00 PM). If unavoidable, stick to well-lit, busy stops and avoid empty buses. Consider ride-hailing services for late-night safety, although this guide focuses on public transport.
The best way to avoid traffic is to travel during off-peak hours: very early morning (before 6:00 AM), mid-day (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM), or late evening (after 9:00 PM). Weekends also offer lighter traffic.
You'll hear 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus), 'Keke Napep' (tricycle), 'BRT' (Bus Rapid Transit), and 'Under Bridge' (referring to bus stops located under flyovers).
No, this is a long intracity route. You will need to take multiple buses or Keke Napeps, changing at major hubs like Ajah, CMS/Obalende, Iyana Oworo, and Ojota.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or mid-day (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) are best to avoid the worst of Lagos traffic. Weekends generally have lighter traffic, but expect some congestion around market areas.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, evening travel requires caution. 'One-chance' bus incidents can occur, so avoid boarding empty buses or those with suspicious-looking passengers, especially at night. Be aware of your belongings in crowded areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT is available for parts of the journey (e.g., from Ajah to Iyana Oworo, or from CMS/Obalende to Ojota), offering a more structured and sometimes faster option. There is no rail service for this specific intracity route.
