Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From your location in Lekki Phase 1, find a Danfo (yellow bus) heading towards Ajah.
Alight at Ajah Bus Stop (usually just after the Ajah Underbridge). From there, look for another Danfo or a Keke Napep (tricycle) going towards Orchid Road.
Tell the Keke Napep driver to drop you at Friends Colony gate on Orchid Road. If using a Danfo, it will drop you at the Orchid Road junction, and you'll need to take a Keke or Okada (motorcycle taxi) from there.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) and late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are usually less congested. Early afternoons (before 3:00 PM) can also be manageable. Avoid peak hours between 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM for inbound and outbound traffic respectively.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, exercise caution when traveling at night. 'One-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed by criminals posing as public transport operators) can occur, especially at isolated bus stops or in less crowded vehicles. Always choose busy bus stops and well-lit areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for portions of the Lekki-Epe Expressway, offering a faster lane in some sections. However, it does not go directly to Friends Colony. There are no rail options for this specific intrastate route.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
