From Lekki Phase 2, take a Keke Napep or a mini-bus (Danfo) heading towards Abraham Adesanya Roundabout or Ajah.
At Ajah, locate the BRT terminal. Board a BRT bus going to CMS (Costain/TBS is also an option, then connect to CMS).
From CMS, take another BRT bus heading towards Oshodi. Ensure it's the dedicated BRT lane bus.
At Oshodi (either Oshodi Terminal 2 or the express bus stop), find a Danfo heading to Egbeda or Iyana-Ipaja. If direct to Egbeda, alight there.
From Egbeda, take a Keke Napep or a short Danfo ride directly to Shasha.
This route uses BRT for major legs, which can be faster due to dedicated lanes. However, BRT queues can be long during peak hours.
Always confirm your destination with the BRT conductor before boarding.
At Oshodi, be alert and keep your belongings secure due to the high volume of people.
For Danfo, look for the destination written on the front or side of the bus. For BRT, buses are typically red or blue, and the destination is displayed digitally or on a sign. Always ask the conductor or driver to confirm.
It is generally advised to avoid traveling long distances within Lagos using public transport late at night (after 8-9 PM) due to safety concerns like 'one-chance' operations and reduced visibility. If unavoidable, stick to well-known, busy routes and terminals.
Lagos public transport often involves connecting routes. If a direct bus isn't available, ask conductors for the next major junction towards your destination. For instance, if going to Shasha, you might take a bus to Iyana-Ipaja first, then connect.
Opt for larger Danfo buses over smaller ones or Keke Napep for longer stretches when possible, as they are usually cheaper per distance. Avoid 'charter' options unless you're in a group. 'Short-trip' buses (Danfo that don't go full route) can sometimes offer slightly lower fares but require more frequent changes.

Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) are best to avoid peak traffic. Weekends generally offer lighter traffic, but major markets and event areas can still be busy.
Safety Rating
Medium. While daylight travel is generally safe, long routes like this require vigilance. Evening travel on less busy routes or isolated bus stops can pose 'one-chance' risks. Always use well-lit, busy bus stops and shared public transport. Avoid late-night travel if possible.
