From your location in Lekki, take a 'Danfo' (yellow bus) going towards CMS or Obalende. You'll find these buses at major bus stops like Lekki Phase 1 Gate, Jakande, or Elegushi.
At CMS or Obalende, alight and look for a 'Danfo' heading to Ojuelegba. These buses will usually pass through Eko Bridge and Funsho Williams Avenue (Western Avenue).
From Ojuelegba, you can easily get another 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) directly to Idi Oro. The buses usually ply Agege Motor Road.
Try to board buses from designated bus stops to avoid LASTMA harassment for both you and the driver.
For shorter stages, sometimes taking a 'short-trip' bus (e.g., Lekki to Falomo, then Falomo to CMS) can help you avoid long queues for direct buses.
Always have smaller denominations of cash ready for bus fares.
Yes, LASTMA and VIO are often present around Falomo Bridge, Eko Bridge approaches, Costain, and Ojuelegba. They primarily target drivers, but delays can affect passengers. Always ensure your bus boards and drops off at designated stops.
Traveling at night comes with increased risks. If you must travel after 8 PM, stick to well-lit, busy bus stops and major routes. Avoid isolated areas. It's generally safer to travel during daylight hours.
Lagos traffic is unpredictable. Always factor in extra time. Have some snacks and water. If you're running late for an appointment, communicate with your contact as soon as possible. Sometimes, alighting and taking a 'Okada' (motorcycle taxi) for short distances can save time, but they are generally less safe and often restricted on major roads.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the traffic. Similarly, late afternoons (after 7:00 PM) can be less congested than the typical evening rush.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, it's wise to be alert. 'One-chance' incidents can occur, especially when traveling late at night or on less busy routes. Pickpockets are common in crowded bus stops and buses.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or rail line from Lekki to Idi Oro. However, BRT can be used for a significant portion of the journey if you connect from areas like TBS/CMS.
