Go to the main Lekki Phase 1 Bus Stop (e.g., near Admiralty Way or Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue).
Board a Danfo heading towards 'Obalende' or 'Falomo'. Confirm with the conductor before boarding. These buses will typically pass through Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue.
Alight at Falomo Bridge Bus Stop. From here, you can find other Danfos or Keke Napeps going deeper into Ikoyi (e.g., Awolowo Road, Bourdillon Road).
Board another Danfo or Keke Napep from Falomo going to your specific destination within Ikoyi. Confirm the route and fare before boarding.
Always confirm the destination with the conductor ('driver's mate') before boarding to avoid going the wrong way.
Fares can fluctuate based on traffic and time of day. Be prepared for slight variations.
LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) officials are often present around Falomo Bridge and major junctions in Ikoyi. Ensure your driver adheres to traffic rules to avoid delays.
The cheapest way is usually by taking multiple Danfos. For example, a Danfo to Falomo, and then another Danfo from Falomo to your specific Ikoyi destination. Walking the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge and then taking a Keke/Danfo on the Ikoyi side can also be very cost-effective.
While main roads are generally busy and visible, it's always advisable to be cautious. Stick to well-lit areas and busy bus stops. If possible, avoid traveling very late at night using public transport. If you must, ensure the vehicle has other passengers and looks legitimate. 'One-chance' incidents are a concern, so vigilance is key.
The best way to avoid traffic is to travel during off-peak hours (before 6:30 AM, between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, or after 8:00 PM). The Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge route (walking or driving) often has less congestion than Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue, which is a major traffic choke point.
Yes, key bus stops include 'Lekki Phase 1 Bus Stop' (various points along Ozumba Mbadiwe/Admiralty Way), 'Falomo Bridge Bus Stop', and 'Alexander Avenue' (Ikoyi side of the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge). When in Ikoyi, you'll hear drivers call out 'Awolowo Road' or 'Bourdillon' for specific areas.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) and mid-day (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) are best to avoid the worst of Lagos traffic. Peak hours are typically 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM, making travel times significantly longer.
Safety Rating
Medium. During the day, using public transport on this route is generally safe. However, 'one-chance' incidents, though rare for public buses on this specific route, are a general concern in Lagos, especially late at night or in less populated areas. Always board vehicles from designated bus stops and ensure they have other passengers. Avoid empty Danfos at night. Be aware of your surroundings.
