Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From your starting point in Lekki, find a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading to Obalende. Look for buses at major junctions like Lekki Phase 1 Gate, Admiralty Way, or Jakande Roundabout.
Alight at Obalende Bus Stop, which is a major transport hub. Be aware of your belongings here as it's a very busy area.
At Obalende, look for another 'Danfo' heading to Ijora (e.g., 'Ijora Olopa', 'Ijora 7-Up', or 'Costain' which is close to Ijora).
The bus will take you across the Eko Bridge towards Ijora. Inform the conductor of your specific Ijora destination (e.g., 'Ijora Olopa', 'Ijora 7-Up') to ensure you drop off at the nearest point.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM), and mid-afternoons (between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM). Avoid peak hours between 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM, when traffic can add 1-2 hours to your journey.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos is generally safe during the day, but requires vigilance. Pickpocketing can occur in crowded buses and bus stops. 'One-chance' incidents (where criminals pose as public transport operators) are a risk, especially late at night. Always board buses at designated bus stops and avoid empty vehicles.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is not directly available for the entire Lekki to Ijora route. While BRT operates from some parts of Lekki (like Ajah) to CMS, there is no direct BRT link from Lekki Phase 1 to Ijora, nor from CMS to Ijora. There is currently no operational passenger rail service connecting Lekki to Ijora.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
