Go to a major bus stop along the Lekki-Epe Expressway (e.g., Lekki Phase 1 Gate, Ikate, Jakande, Chevron).
Board a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading towards Ajah. Confirm 'Ajah' as the destination with the conductor.
Alight at Ajah Bus Stop. Look for buses or 'Keke Napep' (tricycles) going to Badore. You will see many parked around the roundabout.
Board a 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' directly to Badore. Confirm the fare before boarding.
Always confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid disputes.
If you're closer to Abraham Adesanya, you might find direct buses or Keke to Badore from there, skipping the Ajah stop.
During peak hours, 'short-trip' buses might be available to intermediate points, which can sometimes be faster than waiting for a direct bus to Ajah.
Traveling at night is generally less advisable due to reduced visibility and higher security risks. If you must travel at night, stick to well-lit areas, busy bus stops, and recognized public transport. Always inform someone of your travel plans and avoid isolated routes.
The best way to avoid traffic is to travel during off-peak hours (mid-morning or late evening). Using the BRT service can also help bypass some traffic due to its dedicated lanes. Checking traffic apps like Google Maps before you leave can give you real-time updates on congestion.
While ride-hailing apps are available, this guide focuses strictly on public commuting methods for cost-effectiveness and local intelligence. Public transport options like 'Danfo' and BRT are generally more budget-friendly for this route.
LASTMA and VIO officials are frequently present around major traffic hotspots like Ajah Roundabout, Abraham Adesanya, and sometimes near the Lekki Toll Gate. Always ensure your driver is obeying traffic rules to avoid unnecessary delays.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are generally mid-morning (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) or late evening (after 8:00 PM) to avoid peak traffic. Weekends usually have lighter traffic, especially on Saturdays. Avoid 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, always be aware of your surroundings. 'One-chance' (unlicensed taxis/buses used for robbery) is a risk in Lagos, especially for late-night travel or if you appear unfamiliar with the routes. Stick to recognized bus stops and public transport. Avoid isolated routes at night.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) services are available along the Lekki-Epe Expressway, offering a more structured and often faster option due to dedicated lanes. There are no rail services for this specific intra-city route.
