This guide provides practical public transport options from Lekki to Campos Square Area on Lagos Island.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid peak hour traffic. Mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) can also be less congested. Avoid 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos Island is generally busy and safe during the day. However, evening travel requires extra caution due to 'one-chance' syndicates in some public transport and petty crime in crowded areas. Always be aware of your surroundings, especially at bus stops and markets.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) does not have a direct route from Lekki to Campos Square. However, you can connect to BRT from CMS Bus Stop if you are going to other BRT corridors. There is no rail option for this intra-city route.

From Lekki (e.g., Lekki Phase 1 Gate or Admiralty Way), board a 'Danfo' (yellow bus) heading towards 'Obalende' or 'CMS'. Confirm the destination with the conductor.
Alight at 'Obalende' or 'CMS' Bus Stop. From there, look for another 'Danfo' or 'Korope' (smaller bus/van) heading to 'Campos Square', 'Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS)', or 'Balogun Market' (which is very close to Campos Square).
Ask the conductor clearly if they are going to 'Campos Square' or 'TBS/Balogun' if you're not sure which stop is closer.
Have exact change ready to avoid arguments with conductors.
Be prepared for crowded buses, especially during peak hours.
The best way is to travel outside of peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM). Using the 'Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge' can sometimes save time if you're coming from Lekki Phase 1, but it has its own toll and can still get congested.
'LASTMA' (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and 'VIO' (Vehicle Inspection Office) are very active around 'Falomo Bridge', 'CMS Bus Stop', 'Marina Road', and 'Broad Street'. Public transport vehicles are often checked, which can cause delays. Passengers should not interfere with their operations.
While major roads are generally lit, public transport options become less frequent and potentially less safe late at night. 'One-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed) are a risk. It is advisable to conclude your journey by early evening (before 8:00 PM) if using public transport.
Yes, 'Campos Square' is within reasonable walking distance (about 10-15 minutes) from 'CMS Bus Stop' or 'TBS'. It's a good option if you prefer to avoid another short bus ride, especially during heavy traffic.
