From Lekki Phase 2, take a local 'Danfo' (yellow minibus) or 'Keke Napep' (motorized tricycle) heading towards Ajah.
At Ajah Bus Stop, look for a 'Danfo' bus going towards 'CMS' or 'Obalende'. This bus will take you across the 3rd Mainland Bridge.
From CMS or Obalende, find another 'Danfo' bus heading to 'Berger Bus Stop' on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. You might need to change buses at 'Oworonshoki' if a direct bus to Berger isn't readily available.
At Berger Bus Stop, cross to the side of the road heading towards Ibadan. You will find local 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' services that go into Isheri North.
To save money, avoid 'direct' buses from Ajah that might charge a higher fare for a perceived faster trip; instead, opt for buses that follow standard routes and drop off at major stops.
Always confirm your destination with the bus conductor before boarding to ensure you're on the right path and to avoid misunderstandings about the fare.
If a bus is not full, it might wait a long time to fill up. Consider a slightly more expensive bus that is already almost full to save precious travel time.
It is strongly advised to avoid traveling alone on public transport at night on this route due to security concerns, including 'one-chance' operations. If night travel is unavoidable, use well-lit, busy bus stops and choose buses that appear reputable and have other passengers.
The most effective ways to avoid traffic are to travel very early in the morning (before 6 AM) or during off-peak hours (between 10 AM and 2 PM). Weekends generally experience lighter traffic. Utilizing BRT where available can also help bypass some congestion due to dedicated lanes.
'Danfo' refers to the common yellow public minibuses. 'Keke Napep' is a motorized tricycle. 'Along' often means a direct bus route with fewer stops. 'Shuttle' typically refers to shorter, localized routes. The 'Conductor' is the person who collects fares on a bus and calls out stops.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid the worst of Lagos's notorious traffic, travel very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or during late morning/early afternoon (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM). Weekends, especially Saturdays and Sundays, generally offer lighter traffic conditions.
Safety Rating
Medium. While daytime travel is generally safe, it's crucial to be very aware of your surroundings, especially at crowded bus stops and inside public transport. 'One-chance' incidents (where criminals pose as public transport operators to rob passengers) can occur, particularly on longer routes or if traveling late at night. It's best to avoid late-night travel on public buses if possible. Keep your valuables out of sight and be vigilant.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available on sections of this route, specifically from Ajah to CMS/TBS, and from Iyana Oworo towards Berger. However, there is no single, continuous BRT route that covers the entire journey. There is no local flight option or train service connecting these specific locations within Lagos.
