From your exact location in Lekki Phase 2, take a Keke or a short Danfo bus to Abraham Adesanya Roundabout.
At Abraham Adesanya, cross to the side heading towards Ajah and board a Danfo bus going to Ajah Bus Stop.
From Ajah Bus Stop, board a direct Danfo bus heading to CMS (Marina). These buses are usually larger and often found at the main Ajah park.
Once at CMS, Carter Bridge is a short walk away, depending on your exact destination in the area.
Look for buses with 'CMS' written on them at Ajah. Don't be afraid to ask the conductor if it's going direct.
Try to board buses at designated bus stops to avoid 'one-chance' vehicles.
Hold your bags tightly, especially in crowded buses and bus stops.
On a good day with minimal traffic, it can take about 1.5 to 2 hours. During peak traffic hours or heavy rain, expect 3 hours or more.
Traveling late at night is not advisable due to increased security risks, including 'one-chance' incidents. If you must travel, use trusted, well-lit bus stops and avoid isolated areas.
'One-chance' refers to criminal syndicates operating public transport vehicles (like Danfo or private cars pretending to be taxis) that rob passengers. Always board buses at busy, official bus stops.
No. Only BRT uses a card system. For Danfo buses, you pay with cash per trip. You will need cash for the Danfo segments.
LASTMA and VIO officials are frequently seen around major junctions on the Lekki-Epe Expressway (e.g., Ajah, Lekki 1), and especially around the Eko Bridge approaches and the CMS/Marina area. They primarily target commercial vehicles for traffic violations, which can sometimes cause delays.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of the rush hour traffic. Mid-day (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM) can also be manageable. Avoid peak evening hours (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' vehicles are a concern, especially at night or in less crowded areas. Always board buses at designated, busy bus stops. Pickpockets can be active in crowded buses and terminals.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available from Ajah to CMS, offering a more structured and often faster option than regular Danfo buses for that segment. There is no rail option for this specific intra-city route.
