Abraham Adesanya Roundabout
From your exact location in Lekki Phase 2, walk to the nearest major bus stop (e.g., Abraham Adesanya Junction) and board a commercial bus (danfo) marked for 'Ajah' or 'Abraham Adesanya'.
Lekki Toll Gate / Falomo Bridge
At Abraham Adesanya, alight and find another 'express' bus heading towards 'CMS' or 'Obalende'. These buses take the Lekki-Epe Expressway, pass through the toll gate, and proceed towards Falomo and then the CMS/Obalende axis. Confirm with the conductor they are going past Falomo.
CMS Bus Stop / Obalende Terminus
Alight at CMS Bus Stop (by the water) or Obalende Terminus. From here, you need to find a bus heading 'mainland bound'. Look for buses specifically marked 'Ojuelegba' or 'Yaba'. Ojuelegba is a major junction before Oshodi.
Ojuelegba Bridge
At Ojuelegba, alight from the bus. You'll find numerous smaller commercial buses (danfo) or tricycles (Keke Napep) heading straight to Oshodi. Ask for 'Oshodi Interchange' or 'Bolade'.
Oshodi Interchange (various terminals like PWC, Bolade, Arena)
Your bus or tricycle will drop you within the sprawling Oshodi Interchange. Depending on your exact destination within Oshodi, you might need to walk a short distance or take another short local ride.
💡Pro Travel Tips
Always confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding and paying to avoid misdirection.
Travel during off-peak hours (10 AM - 3 PM) to significantly reduce journey time, as traffic is a major factor.
Keep your valuables secure, especially in crowded areas like bus stops and inside the buses; petty theft can occur.

❓Route FAQ
How can I avoid traffic on this route?
The best way to mitigate traffic is to travel during off-peak hours (mid-day between 10 AM - 3 PM, or very early morning before 6 AM). For the mainland portion, using the BRT system can significantly reduce travel time due to its dedicated lanes.
What's the best way to carry luggage on this trip?
For light luggage, commercial buses (danfo) are manageable, but spaces are limited. For larger luggage, ride-hailing services offer the most convenience with dedicated boot space. BRT buses also have some space but can get crowded during peak hours.
