From Lekki Phase 2, take a local 'Keke' (tricycle) or 'Danfo' (yellow bus) to Ajah Underbridge Bus Stop.
At Ajah Underbridge, board a BRT bus going to CMS (Costain/Marina route). This is a direct and relatively comfortable ride.
From CMS, take another BRT bus heading towards Oshodi. Alternatively, you can take a 'Danfo' if a BRT isn't readily available, but BRT is usually faster.
At Oshodi, look for 'Danfo' buses going to Iyana-Ipaja. Confirm with the conductor before boarding.
From Iyana-Ipaja, take a 'Danfo' or 'Keke' directly to Command.
BRT buses are generally more reliable and safer. Use them where available.
At Oshodi, be mindful of your belongings due to the high volume of people.
Confirm your destination with the conductor/driver multiple times, especially for the 'Iyana-Ipaja to Command' leg, as there might be different routes or slight variations.
LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and VIO (Vehicle Inspection Officers) are often seen enforcing traffic rules along the Lekki-Epe Expressway, Eko/Third Mainland Bridge approaches, around CMS, Obalende, Ikeja, and along the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway (e.g., Iyana-Ipaja, Cement). Ensure drivers follow traffic laws to avoid delays.
It is generally not advisable to travel this long distance using public transport late at night (after 9 PM). Risks of 'one-chance' vehicles and general insecurity increase. If unavoidable, try to use well-lit, busy routes and avoid isolated bus stops. Inform someone of your travel plans.
The most effective way to save money is to use public 'Danfo' buses and BRT where available, as outlined in the route options. Avoid private hires or ride-hailing services, which are significantly more expensive. Try to avoid peak hours as some conductors increase fares during intense traffic or rain.
Fares can fluctuate based on fuel prices, time of day, and weather. However, if you feel you are being overcharged significantly, you can politely negotiate or wait for another bus. It's helpful to ask other passengers what the fare is for a particular route before boarding.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid peak traffic. Avoid traveling during evening rush hours (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) and late at night (after 9:00 PM) for safety and to avoid higher fares.
Safety Rating
Medium. While daylight travel on main routes is generally safe, long-distance intra-city travel in Lagos, especially during late evenings or in less crowded vehicles, carries risks like 'one-chance' (scammers/robbers posing as public transport operators) and pickpocketing. Always be alert.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for significant portions of this route, offering a more structured and often safer option. There is no intra-city train service that directly covers this specific route; the Lagos Blue Line and Red Line are under development/partial operation but do not fully connect Lekki Phase 2 to Command directly.
