Ajah Roundabout Bus Stop
At the Lekki-Epe Expressway (e.g., Abraham Adesanya or Ajah), look for larger commercial buses ('Danfo') heading towards 'CMS' or 'Obalende'. Confirm with the conductor that it will take you past the major connection points towards the mainland.

💡Pro Travel Tips
Always factor in Lagos traffic, especially during peak hours (6-9 AM, 4-7 PM) on Ikorodu Road and the Third Mainland Bridge, as journey times can easily double.
While Danfo fares are generally fixed per stage, always confirm your destination and the fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid disputes or overpaying.
Keep your valuables secure and out of sight, especially in crowded bus stops and buses. Be aware of your surroundings at all times to prevent petty theft.
