From your specific location within Lekki Phase 2, navigate to the estate's main gate or a nearby feeder road. Board a local Keke Napep (tricycle) or a short shuttle bus heading towards the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Once you're on the main Lekki-Epe Expressway, keep an eye out for yellow 'Danfo' commercial buses or white mini-buses. Look for those indicating destinations further along the expressway, such as 'Lakowe,' 'Awoyaya,' or directly 'Epe' if available (for this 12km stretch). Confirm with the conductor.
