From your location in Lekki (e.g., Lekki Phase 1 Gate), take a 'Danfo' bus going to Obalende or CMS.
At Obalende or CMS, look for a 'Danfo' bus heading towards Ojota or Ketu.
From Ojota or Ketu, find a 'Danfo' bus or a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) going directly to Alapere.
Always confirm the destination with the bus conductor before boarding.
Have smaller denominations of Naira ready for bus fares.
At Ojota, be cautious as it's a major hub and can be very crowded. Avoid buses that are not fully loaded if you are wary of 'one-chance' scenarios, especially late in the evening.
During off-peak hours, it can take about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours. During peak hours (morning and evening rush), expect 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours or even more due to heavy traffic.
While major routes are generally busy, it's advisable to complete your journey before 8:00 PM. If you must travel later, stick to well-lit, busy bus stops and avoid sparsely populated routes or 'shuttle' taxis that aren't full. Always be aware of your surroundings.
Bus fares on established routes are usually somewhat fixed. If a conductor attempts to overcharge significantly, you can politely decline and wait for another bus. Having the correct fare in small denominations helps avoid issues with change.
Key landmarks include the Lekki Toll Gate, Falomo Bridge, Federal Secretariat Ikoyi, National Museum (near Onikan/CMS), Third Mainland Bridge, Gbagada General Hospital, and the major bus stops at Ojota and Ketu.

Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or mid-day (between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM) to avoid peak hour traffic. Traveling on Saturdays can also be less stressful than weekdays.
Safety Rating
Medium. While main routes are generally busy and safer, always be alert. 'One-chance' incidents, though rare on these specific busy routes during the day, can occur with isolated vehicles or late at night. Pickpocketing is a minor risk in crowded bus stops.
BRT / Rail / Water
