From your exact location in Lekki (e.g., Lekki Phase 1 Gate, Admiralty Way), board a Danfo (yellow bus) heading towards Falomo or CMS. Ensure the bus will cross Falomo Bridge.
Alight at Falomo Roundabout/Bus Stop. Look for a Danfo or a Keke (tricycle) going along Awolowo Road. Confirm your specific stop on Awolowo Road with the conductor.
Always confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way.
During peak hours, you might need to take a 'short-trip' Danfo from Lekki to an intermediate point like Law School or Bonny Camp, then another to Falomo to beat long queues for direct buses.
Keep small denominations of cash ready, as conductors may not always have change for large notes.
Generally no. You will almost always need to take at least two buses. The most common routes involve changing buses at Falomo or Obalende.
While the main roads are usually busy, it's always advisable to be extra cautious when using public transport late at night. Avoid boarding buses that are almost empty, and keep your phone and valuables out of sight. Consider safer alternatives if available.
Always opt for 'Danfo' (yellow buses) over Keke (tricycles) for longer stretches, as Kekes are generally more expensive per distance. If a Danfo conductor quotes a very high price, wait for another bus or negotiate if you're comfortable with it.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy traffic, travel between 10 AM and 2 PM on weekdays. Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late evenings (after 8 PM) can also be faster, but come with increased safety considerations for public transport.
Safety Rating
Medium. The route is generally busy and well-trafficked during the day. However, like any major city, be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded bus stops. 'One-chance' syndicates can operate, so avoid boarding empty or nearly empty public buses late at night. Keep your valuables secure.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT buses operate along parts of the route (e.g., from CMS to Falomo), but a direct BRT service from Lekki Phase 1 specifically to Awolowo Road Ikoyi is not available. You would typically use a combination of public transport. There are no train services for this intracity route.
