Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or mid-day (between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM) are best to avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic. Traveling after 7:00 PM is not recommended due to safety concerns and reduced bus availability.
Safety Rating
Medium. While daylight travel is generally safe, long-distance public transport in Lagos, especially after dark, carries risks like 'one-chance' operations (robbery by fake passengers/drivers) and pickpocketing at crowded bus stops. Be vigilant, avoid late-night travel in unfamiliar buses, and keep valuables secure.

From Lekki Phase 2 gate, take a Keke Napep or a mini-bus (Korope) going towards Ajah Underbridge.
At Ajah Underbridge, find a Danfo heading to Obalende or CMS. Confirm the destination with the conductor.
From Obalende/CMS, take another Danfo or BRT bus heading towards Anthony or Maryland.
At Anthony/Maryland, take a short Danfo or Keke Napep directly into Town Planning Way.
This option offers flexibility; if one route is congested, you can easily find an alternative at major bus stops.
Always confirm the bus fare before boarding to avoid disputes.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially at crowded bus stops like Ajah, Obalende, and Anthony.
LASTMA and VIO officials are frequently seen around Ajah Underbridge, Lekki Toll Gates, Falomo, CMS, and various points along Ikorodu Road (e.g., Fadeyi, Anthony, Maryland). They monitor traffic rules, bus park operations, and vehicle roadworthiness. Drivers might take alternative routes to avoid them, which can add to travel time.
Traveling at night on public transport for this long route is generally not recommended due to increased security risks, including 'one-chance' incidents and reduced availability of legitimate public transport. If you must travel late, consider safer alternatives like pre-booked private taxis or ride-hailing apps, although this guide focuses on public transport.
To save money, stick to Danfo buses and Keke Napep. Avoid any 'special' or 'charter' options unless absolutely necessary. Be prepared to walk short distances if it means avoiding an extra fare. Always negotiate Keke Napep fares before boarding.
Heavy traffic is common. If you encounter gridlock, consider if a different leg of your journey can use an alternative route (e.g., if a bus is stuck on the main road, you might alight and take a Keke through inner streets for a short distance). Always factor in extra time. During extreme traffic, some drivers might drop passengers off before the final destination.
