From your location in Lekki (e.g., Lekki Phase 1 Gate or Jakande Bus Stop), take a 'Danfo' bus heading towards Obalende or CMS.
At Obalende or CMS, alight and look for a 'Danfo' bus going to Yaba. Be specific and ask for 'Yaba Market' or 'Sabo'.
From Yaba (specifically around Sabo or Tejuosho), take a short 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a local 'Danfo' shuttle directly to Abule Oja. Confirm the destination with the driver.
Always confirm the bus's destination before boarding to avoid going the wrong way.
Have exact change ready to avoid delays or disputes with conductors.
During peak hours, consider walking short distances between bus stops if traffic is completely gridlocked to save time.
Night travel is generally not recommended due to increased security risks ('one-chance' incidents) and reduced public transport frequency. If unavoidable, travel in groups, use well-lit routes, and avoid isolated bus stops. Try to complete your journey before 9 PM.
The best way to avoid traffic is to travel during off-peak hours (mid-day 10 AM - 2 PM) or very early in the morning (before 6:30 AM). Using BRT where available can also help bypass some traffic by using dedicated lanes.
'One-chance' refers to a crime where passengers board a vehicle (often disguised as public transport) with criminals inside who then rob or kidnap them. To avoid this, always board buses at designated, busy bus stops, look for vehicles with other passengers, and trust your instincts if a vehicle feels suspicious. Avoid empty or near-empty buses late at night.
Yes, you generally need a BRT card to use the BRT service. These cards can be purchased and topped up at any BRT terminal or designated loading points. Cash is usually not accepted directly on BRT buses, though some conductors might assist in card purchase/top-up.

Best Time to Travel
For the smoothest journey, travel between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM on weekdays, or very early mornings (before 6:30 AM). Avoid peak rush hours (6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM) when traffic can extend travel time significantly.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos roads can be safe, but 'one-chance' incidents are a concern, particularly at night or in less crowded areas. Always be alert, avoid late-night travel if possible, and choose well-lit, busy bus stops. Be mindful of pickpockets in crowded areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of this route, offering a more structured and often faster option than regular 'Danfo' buses. There is no train service for this specific intrastate route.
