From your location in Lekki, get to the nearest BRT bus stop on Lekki-Epe Expressway (e.g., Lekki Phase 1 Gate, Jakande, Chisco). Take a BRT bus heading to CMS/TBS.
At CMS, locate buses or 'Danfo' heading to Mile 2. These are usually yellow buses. Confirm 'Mile 2' with the conductor before boarding.
From Mile 2, find buses or 'Danfo' going to Abule Ado. These are readily available at the Mile 2 park.
BRT buses are generally more comfortable and predictable than 'Danfo' buses.
At CMS, be vigilant against pickpockets, especially in crowded areas.
Always have exact change or small denominations for bus fares.
Look for yellow 'Danfo' buses or BRT buses. Avoid unmarked vehicles or private cars offering rides as public transport, especially at night. Always board at designated bus stops.
It's common for conductors to inflate prices, especially for travelers who don't know the standard fare. Ask other passengers discreetly about the fare, or if possible, observe what others pay before you board. If disputed, politely insist on the correct fare or choose another bus.
While the route itself is a major corridor, exercise caution in crowded areas like Mile 2, CMS, and Obalende, especially in the evenings. These areas are known for petty crime. Always keep your belongings secure.
