From your location in Lekki, take a 'Danfo' (yellow bus) or BRT bus heading to Obalende or CMS.
At Obalende or CMS, find a 'Danfo' or BRT bus going to Oshodi. Ensure the bus is heading towards the Oshodi terminal or 'underbridge'.
From Oshodi, locate the 'Danfo' park for buses heading to Iyana Ipaja. This is a major hub, so ask around for the correct park.
At Iyana Ipaja, find a 'Danfo' bus or shared taxi (painted yellow) going directly to Abule Egba.
For the Lekki to Obalende/CMS leg, BRT buses are usually more comfortable and have fixed fares, making them a good choice.
At Oshodi, be vigilant. It's a very busy area. Confirm your destination clearly before boarding.
Sometimes, you might find a direct 'Danfo' from Oshodi to Abule Egba, bypassing Iyana Ipaja. These are less common but can save you a change. Ask the conductors.
No, there are no direct public 'Danfo' or BRT buses that cover the entire distance from Lekki to Abule Egba. You will need to take multiple buses and change at major transport hubs like Obalende/CMS, Oshodi, or Ikeja Along.
Expect LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and VIO (Vehicle Inspection Office) presence around major junctions and bridges: Third Mainland Bridge entry/exit, Obalende/CMS, Oshodi 'underbridge', Iyana Ipaja, and along the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway. Ensure your driver has valid documents to avoid delays.
It is not advisable to travel this route late at night using public transport due to increased security risks, including 'one-chance' incidents. If unavoidable, use a trusted private car service or ensure you are in a busy, well-lit area until you board.
Always opt for BRT where available as their fares are regulated. For 'Danfo' buses, confirm the fare before boarding, especially if you are unsure. Avoid buses that appear empty or are waiting for too long, as they might 'load' slowly, wasting your time. Look for buses that are already half-full and ready to move.

Safety Rating
Medium. During the day, it's generally safe, but 'one-chance' syndicates operate, especially in less crowded buses or at night. Always be aware of your surroundings, avoid late-night travel if possible, and choose buses from designated, busy parks. Keep valuables out of sight.
