Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Lekki Phase 2, take a Danfo heading towards Ajah Roundabout or Abraham Adesanya.
At Ajah, look for a direct Danfo heading to CMS (Costain/Marina). These buses are usually available but might take time to fill up. Alternatively, you can take one to Obalende and then connect to CMS.
From CMS, take another short Danfo or Keke Napep (tricycle) directly into the Balogun Market area or Idumota. Many buses will have 'Balogun' or 'Idumota' written on them. You can also walk if you are near the market entrance.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid peak traffic, travel very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM). Weekends, particularly Sundays, generally offer lighter traffic conditions. Avoid 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM on weekdays.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, crowded areas like Balogun Market are prone to pickpocketing. Exercise caution, especially when traveling late at night, as 'one-chance' incidents can occur on less busy routes. Always be aware of your surroundings.
