Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From your exact location in Lekki Phase 2, take a local Keke Napep (tricycle) or a small Danfo bus heading towards Ajah Bus Stop.
At Ajah Bus Stop, locate the official BRT terminal. Board a BRT bus that is clearly marked for CMS (Central Business District). If a direct CMS BRT isn't immediately available, you can take one to Obalende and connect from there.
From CMS or Obalende, cross to the main bus stop area. Look for a BRT or Danfo bus going to Yaba. Be specific and ask for 'Yaba Bus Stop' or 'Tejuosho Market'.
At Yaba Bus Stop, you will find smaller Danfo buses or Keke Napep (tricycles) that go directly into the Unilag campus or the surrounding Akoka area.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of peak hour gridlock. Weekends generally have lighter traffic, but can still be busy around market areas or during events. Avoid peak evening hours (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible, as journey times can double.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, evening travel (especially after 7 PM) can expose travelers to petty crime or 'one-chance' situations, particularly if boarding less crowded public transport. Always use well-lit, busy bus stops and avoid isolated routes. Be extra mindful of your personal belongings.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for significant portions of this route, offering a more structured and often faster option than regular Danfo buses. Specifically, you can find BRT from Ajah to CMS and from CMS/Obalende to Yaba. There is no rail option directly serving this intrastate route.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
