From Lekki Phase 2, take a 'Keke Napep' or 'Danfo' to Ajah Market Bus Stop.
At Ajah Market, find a 'Danfo' or 'Minibus' heading to CMS (Costain/Obalende/TBS are also common drop-offs, but CMS is central). Be prepared for a long ride.
From CMS, take another 'Danfo' or 'Minibus' going to Oshodi. You might find buses directly to Oshodi or need to go to Costain/Iddo first.
At Oshodi, look for 'Danfos' or 'Minibuses' heading towards Agege, specifically 'Pen Cinema' or 'Orile Agege'.
This option offers more flexibility as 'Danfos' are frequent.
Always confirm the destination with the 'conductor' before boarding.
Be wary of 'short-trip' buses that drop passengers off midway to collect new fares; confirm it's a direct journey to your intended major bus stop.
LASTMA/VIO are active around Lekki Toll Gate, Eko Bridge approaches, and Oshodi; drivers might take detours causing delays.
Traveling at night on this route is generally not recommended due to increased security risks, reduced availability of public transport, and higher chances of encountering 'one-chance' vehicles. If unavoidable, use well-lit, busy bus stops and avoid isolated areas.
To save money, use BRT where available, as it's often cheaper than 'Danfo'. Also, avoid 'chartered' taxis or 'Keke Napeps' for long distances; stick to shared public transport. Be prepared for slightly higher fares during rush hour or heavy rain.
For this intracity route, travel light. If you have luggage, ensure it fits comfortably with you inside the 'Danfo' or BRT. Keep valuable items close and secure. Avoid placing bags on overhead racks in 'Danfos' if you can't keep an eye on them.
Google Maps can help with real-time traffic updates and estimated travel times, but it might not always reflect the exact public transport routes or fare structures in Lagos. Always ask locals or conductors for the most current information.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) to avoid peak rush hour traffic. Weekends are generally better, but still expect some delays. Avoid traveling during heavy downpours.
Safety Rating
Medium. While main roads are generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' vehicles (unmarked public transport) can be a risk, especially late at night. Pickpocketing is common in crowded bus stops like Oshodi and CMS. Always be alert and avoid flashing valuables.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for significant portions of this route, particularly from Ajah/CMS to Oshodi. There are no direct rail options for this specific intracity journey.
