At CMS, locate the BRT terminal for buses traveling towards Oshodi or Iyana-Ipaja. If no direct BRT to Iyana-Ipaja, take one to Oshodi.

Best Time to Travel
To significantly reduce travel time, depart very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or during the late morning (after 10:00 AM). Avoid the evening rush hour (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) for outbound travel from the island to the mainland, as traffic can add hours to your journey.
Safety Rating
Medium. Major routes are generally safe during daylight hours. However, 'one-chance' incidents can occur on less crowded routes or when traveling late at night. Pickpocketing is common in highly crowded bus stops like Oshodi and Iyana-Ipaja. Always be aware of your surroundings and keep valuables secure.

BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) services are available for substantial parts of this route, particularly from Lekki to CMS/Obalende and then towards Oshodi/Iyana-Ipaja. There is no direct intracity rail link that effectively serves this specific route.
