From your exact location in Lekki Phase 2, board a local yellow commercial bus (Danfo) or Keke NAPEP (tricycle) heading towards Ajah roundabout or Ajah Park.
Alight at Ajah Park. Here, look for a larger yellow bus (Danfo) that is clearly marked 'CMS' or 'Obalende'. These are express buses that will take you across the Lagoon.
Upon reaching CMS Bus Stop (by the water) or Obalende Under Bridge, alight. Walk towards the main bus park where buses heading to the Mainland are stationed.
At CMS or Obalende, board another yellow commercial bus (Danfo) specifically heading to 'Yaba'. Confirm with the conductor.
Alight at Yaba Terminus. From here, Tejuosho Market is a short distance away. You can either walk, which takes about 5-10 minutes, or take a very short Keke NAPEP ride.
You have arrived at Tejuosho Market. The market complex is prominent and easy to spot from Yaba Terminus.
**Cash is King:** Always have smaller denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as bus conductors rarely have change for large notes.
**Traffic Awareness:** This route involves crossing major expressways. Avoid peak hours (6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM) for a smoother journey, especially the Ajah-CMS stretch.
**Stay Alert:** Keep an eye on your belongings in crowded buses and bus stops. Pickpockets can be common in busy areas.
The estimated duration is around 4471 seconds (approximately 1 hour 15 minutes) without significant traffic. However, due to Lagos's notorious traffic, especially on the Lekki-Epe Expressway and Third Mainland Bridge, this journey can easily extend to 2-3 hours during peak periods.
While major roads are generally lit, it's advisable to complete your journey before nightfall (after 7:00 PM) when using commercial buses. If you must travel at night, ride-hailing services are generally safer, but always prioritize well-lit, busy areas for pickup and drop-off.
No, commercial Danfo buses and Keke NAPEPs operate strictly on cash payments. Ride-hailing services, however, accept card payments through their apps, or you can opt for cash payment to the driver, depending on your app settings.
