From your location in Lekki, find a Danfo or Keke NAPEP going to CMS or Obalende.
At CMS or Obalende, locate the BRT terminal. Board a BRT bus heading towards Ketu/Mile 12.
Alight at Ketu Bus Stop. From Ketu, you can find a Keke NAPEP or a short Danfo to Demurin.
BRT buses are generally more comfortable and have a dedicated lane, making them faster during heavy traffic.
Ensure you have a BRT card or purchase one at the terminal, as cash payments are not accepted on the bus.
Be aware of pickpockets at busy terminals like CMS and Obalende.
The fastest way is often a combination of BRT for the long stretch (CMS/Obalende to Ketu) and Keke NAPEP for the shorter feeder routes. Traveling very early in the morning (before 6:30 AM) or late at night significantly cuts down travel time.
The cheapest way generally involves using public Danfo buses for all segments of the journey, breaking it down into 'shuttles' if direct buses are not available or are too expensive. However, this might involve more transfers and slightly longer travel times.
While major roads are generally lit, it is advisable to be cautious when traveling late at night. Stick to well-lit, busy bus stops and avoid isolated areas. Prefer BRT where possible or well-populated Danfo routes. Always inform someone of your travel plans.
Yes, LASTMA and VIO officials are frequently seen around the Lekki-Epe Expressway, Falomo Bridge, the foot of the Third Mainland Bridge (Obalende/Oworonshoki exits), and along Ikorodu Road (especially Maryland, Ojota, Ketu). Ensure drivers adhere to traffic rules to avoid unnecessary delays.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is early in the morning (before 6:30 AM) or late in the evening (after 8:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's notorious traffic. Mid-day (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) can also be manageable, but still expect some delays.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, pickpocketing is common at crowded bus stops like CMS, Ojota, Ketu, and Mile 12. 'One-chance' incidents (where criminals pose as public transport operators) can occur, especially in isolated areas or late at night. Always be vigilant and avoid isolated bus stops after dark.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a major transport option for a significant portion of this route, especially from CMS/Obalende to Ketu/Mile 12. There is no direct rail service for this specific intra-Lagos route, though the Lagos Blue Line rail is under construction and will eventually connect parts of the island to the mainland (but not directly to Demurin).
