Take a 'Danfo' bus from your current location in Lekki (e.g., from Jakande, Chisco Bus Stop, or 1st Roundabout) heading towards CMS or Obalende.
From CMS or Obalende, locate the BRT terminal or 'Danfo' park. Take a BRT bus or a 'Danfo' going directly to 'Ikorodu Garage' or 'Ogolonto'. BRT is generally faster and more comfortable for this stretch.
Once you arrive at 'Ikorodu Garage' or 'Ogolonto', take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a local 'Danfo' shuttle directly to 'Ipakodo Ferry Terminal Area'.
If taking 'Danfo' from Lekki, look for buses with 'CMS' or 'Obalende' written on them. They are very common.
At CMS/Obalende, BRT buses are usually clearly marked 'Ikorodu'. Use your Cowry card for BRT.
Enter 'short-trip' buses within Ikorodu if you find one going closer to Ipakodo to save a little money on the last leg.
It is generally not advisable to travel on the Ikorodu Road axis late at night (after 8:00 PM) using public transport due to the risk of 'one-chance' incidents. If unavoidable, use well-lit, busy bus stops and reputable transport services.
'Danfo' refers to the yellow mini-buses that are the most common form of public transport in Lagos. 'Keke Napep' is a three-wheeled tricycle, often used for shorter distances or within specific neighborhoods.
Yes, BRT services require a 'Cowry Card'. You can purchase and top up this card at any BRT terminal. Cash is not accepted for BRT fares.
Traffic is a common challenge in Lagos. Carry enough water, snacks, and ensure your phone is charged. Patience is key. Sometimes, walking a short distance past a bottleneck can help you find another bus faster.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid peak hour traffic. Mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) offers relatively lighter traffic. Avoid evening rush (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. While Lagos is generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed by criminals posing as public transport operators) are a concern, especially on Ikorodu Road late at night. Pickpocketing can also occur in crowded bus stops. Always be alert.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) services are widely available and recommended for the Ikorodu Road stretch, offering a more structured and often faster option. There is no rail service for this specific intra-city route.
