While the distance is moderate, traffic congestion, especially on the Lekki-Epe Expressway and approaching the Island, can significantly extend travel times, transforming a quick trip into a longer urban expedition.

Head to the main bus stop located just outside the Lekki Phase 2 estate gate or the Abraham Adesanya Roundabout. Look for a yellow commercial bus (danfo) with 'CMS' or 'Marina' clearly displayed on its front.
Board the bus, pay your fare directly to the conductor, and find a seat. The bus will commence its journey along the major Lekki-Epe Expressway, passing various landmarks.
The bus will continue through the expansive Lekki axis, navigating traffic hotspots, especially around Ikate and Lekki Phase 1. Expect it to pass through or near the Admiralty Way.
As you transition from Lekki into Victoria Island, the bus will typically cross the Falomo Bridge, offering views of the lagoon and the sprawling city.
From Falomo, the journey continues towards Obalende and then onto the bustling Marina road. Keep an eye out for the large Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) on your right.
As you approach the heart of Marina, inform the conductor that 'CMS' is your destination. Alight at the designated CMS bus stop, which is a major transport hub.
Always carry smaller denominations of Naira for bus fares, as conductors may not always have change for large notes.
Travel during off-peak hours (mid-morning to early afternoon) to minimize travel time and avoid the most intense traffic gridlock.
Keep your personal belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded bus stops and buses.
The best times to travel are typically between 9:30 AM and 3:00 PM on weekdays. Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) and late evenings (after 8:00 PM) also offer lighter traffic. Weekends generally have less traffic than weekdays.
Yes, ride-hailing services like Uber and Bolt offer a safer, more comfortable, and private alternative. While more expensive, they provide convenience and door-to-door service, making them ideal for those unfamiliar with local transport.
While the ideal duration is around 27 minutes, during peak hours (6 AM - 9 AM and 4 PM - 7 PM), the journey can easily extend to 1.5 to 2.5 hours via commercial bus. Ride-hailing might be slightly faster by taking alternative routes like the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge.
