From your specific location in Lekki Phase 2, board a Keke Napep (tricycle) or a small commercial bus (Danfo) heading towards the Lekki-Epe Expressway at Abraham Adesanya Roundabout.
Alight at Abraham Adesanya Roundabout and locate the larger bus park under the bridge at Ajah. Board a mass transit bus (Danfo or Coaster bus) heading towards CMS (Central Business District).
Upon arrival at CMS Bus Stop, disembark and look for buses going towards 'Oshodi' or 'Mile 2'. This segment will take you over Eko Bridge and through popular mainland routes.
Tell the conductor you're dropping at 'Costain'. This is a strategic point to connect to buses heading further along the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.
From Costain, board another Danfo bus clearly marked for 'Mile 2'. This is a straightforward ride along the express.
At Mile 2 Interchange, locate buses or Keke Napeps specifically heading into Amuwo Odofin. Specify your exact street or junction to the conductor/driver (e.g., 'Apple Junction', 'FHA Gate').
Always confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding and paying, as routes can sometimes vary or be abbreviated.
Keep your belongings secure and close to you, especially in crowded bus stops like CMS and Mile 2, which are known for petty theft.
For cost-effectiveness, have smaller denominations of Naira (₦200, ₦500) readily available for bus fares, as conductors may not always have change for large notes.
While the estimated driving time is around 60-70 minutes without traffic, this journey frequently takes between 1.5 to 3 hours during typical Lagos peak hours (morning 6-9 AM and evening 4-7 PM weekdays). Plan accordingly.
It's generally not recommended to use multiple public transport segments (Danfo) late at night due to reduced availability and potential security concerns. Ride-hailing services are a safer, albeit more expensive, option for night travel, ensuring door-to-door service.
Yes, if you use the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge (a common shortcut from Lekki Phase 2 to the mainland), there is a toll. Ride-hailing services usually factor this into their fare automatically, but it's always good to be aware.
