Route Navigation
Abraham Adesanya Roundabout / Ajah Market
From your location within Lekki Phase 2, walk or take a short Keke Napep (tricycle) or Okada (motorcycle, if available and safe) to the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Board a Danfo bus heading towards 'Abraham Adesanya Roundabout' or 'Ajah Market'. Confirm destination with the conductor.
Ajah Market / CMS Bus Stop / Obalende Terminus
Alight at the Abraham Adesanya Roundabout or Ajah Market. Look for larger commercial buses (usually 'Coaster' or 'Hummer' buses, or bigger Danfos) that are heading directly to 'CMS' or 'Obalende'. This is a major route across the island.
CMS Bus Stop / Obalende Terminus / Ojota Interchange (Under Bridge)
Upon arriving at CMS or Obalende, disembark. Locate the bus park where vehicles head to the 'Mainland'. You need to find a Danfo or BRT feeder bus specifically heading to 'Ojota'. Ask around if unsure of the exact loading bay.
Ojota Interchange (Under Bridge) / Ketu Bus Stop
Once at Ojota Interchange (often referred to as 'under bridge' due to the flyover), alight. Ketu is just one stop away. Look for smaller Danfos or Keke Napeps that specifically go to 'Ketu'. These are usually stationed near the main road.
Ketu Bus Stop / Ketu Market
Board your final bus or Keke to Ketu. Tell the conductor you're dropping at Ketu Bus Stop or Ketu Market, depending on your exact destination. They will call out the stop for you.
💡Pro Travel Tips
Always have small denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares, as conductors rarely have change for large notes.
Avoid traveling during peak rush hours (6:30 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible, as traffic can significantly extend your journey duration.
Be vigilant of your belongings, especially at busy bus stops like CMS, Obalende, and Ojota, as pickpocketing can occur.
