From your location in Lekki, take a 'Danfo' (yellow bus) going towards CMS or Obalende.
At CMS or Obalende, find buses heading to Mile 2. It's a major interchange.
From Mile 2, look for buses or 'Danfo' heading to 'Badagry' or specific areas like 'Iyana-Iba' or 'Okokomaiko'. Tell the conductor you're going to 'Mowo'. You might need to take a bus going 'straight' to Badagry or drop at Iyana-Iba/Okokomaiko first.
If you stopped at Iyana-Iba or Okokomaiko, take another 'Danfo' or 'mini-bus' going towards 'Badagry'. Mowo is a prominent stop along this route.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid peak traffic on the Third Mainland Bridge and Apapa-Oshodi Expressway. Avoid traveling during evening rush hours (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible, as travel time can double.
Safety Rating
Medium. While the Badagry Expressway has improved, long public transport journeys in Lagos always require vigilance. 'One-chance' incidents are a concern, especially if boarding buses from unofficial stops or late at night. Stick to busy, well-lit bus terminals.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of this route, specifically from Ajah/Lekki Gate to CMS and from CMS to Mile 2. There is no rail option directly serving this route within Lagos.
If traveling between Lagos and mainland extensions via Berger, plan departures before 6:30 AM or after 8:30 PM to bypass heavy bottlenecks at the outward police posts.
