Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or during the mid-day lull (between 10:30 AM and 2:30 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's peak hour traffic. Avoid traveling during rush hours (6:00 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible, as journey times can double or triple.
Safety Rating
Medium. Daytime travel is generally safe. However, always be alert to 'one-chance' incidents, especially when boarding public transport from less busy stops or late in the evening. Always board from designated bus stops and avoid isolated areas. Keep valuables secure and out of sight. Night travel is not recommended for this route using public transport.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available on Ikorodu Road, offering a faster and more structured public transport option for a significant part of the journey. There is no direct train service for this specific route.

From Lekki Phase 2, take a Danfo bus heading towards Ajah.
At Ajah, board another Danfo bus going to CMS or Obalende. Some buses might go directly to Costain/Ojuelegba, which can also work as a connection point.
From CMS or Obalende, find a bus heading to Ikorodu Garage. These buses are usually available at major terminals.
At Ikorodu Garage, take a Keke Napep or a local Danfo shuttle to the Ipakodo Ferry Terminal Area.
**Localized Intel:** Watch out for LASTMA/VIO officers, especially on Lekki-Epe Expressway and Ikorodu Road, as they often monitor traffic and commercial vehicles. Be prepared for delays around 'Chisco', 'Abraham Adesanya' on Lekki-Epe, and 'Mile 12', 'Ketu' on Ikorodu Road.
To save time, sometimes entering 'short-trip' buses (e.g., Ajah to Ikate, then Ikate to CMS) can help you bypass long queues at major bus stops, but might cost slightly more overall.
Always confirm your destination with the bus conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way. Bargain Keke fares before you start the trip.
It is generally not advisable to travel long distances across Lagos, especially using multiple public transport changes, late at night (after 8:00 PM). Visibility is poor, and security risks increase. If absolutely necessary, try to use more reliable means or travel in groups.
The fastest way often depends on the time of day. During peak traffic, the ferry (Option 2) can be the quickest if you can make a timely connection and the service is running. Outside of peak hours, a direct road journey (Option 1) or the BRT route (Option 3) might be comparable in speed.
No, there are no direct public buses (Danfo or BRT) that go straight from Lekki Phase 2 to Ikorodu. You will need to take multiple buses and possibly a ferry or BRT, changing at key points like Ajah, CMS, Ojota, or Ikorodu Garage.
