At any major bus stop on the Lekki-Epe Expressway (e.g., Jakande, Chevron), board a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading towards Ajah.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) and mid-day (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) are best to avoid heavy traffic from Lekki heading towards Lakowe. Weekends are generally lighter, but Saturday mornings can also be busy due to market activities and events.
Safety Rating
Medium. The Lekki-Epe corridor is generally busy and safer during the day. However, evening travel, especially at isolated bus stops or in less crowded public transport, carries a 'one-chance' risk. Always be alert, avoid displaying valuables, and use well-lit, busy stops. For solo female travelers, consider waiting for more crowded buses and avoid late-night travel.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) lanes exist on some parts of the Lekki-Epe Expressway, particularly closer to Lekki Phase 1 and Ajah. However, a dedicated BRT service directly from Lekki to Lakowe covering the entire route is not fully established. There are no train services available for this intrastate route.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
