Best Time to Travel
To escape the worst gridlock, leave Lekki before 6:30 AM or wait until after 10:00 AM for morning travel. For evening trips, move before 4:00 PM or delay your movement until after 8:30 PM when the intense rush-hour traffic moving from the Island to the Mainland begins to reduce.
Safety Rating
Medium - Be very alert at major connection points. Watch your pockets and bags closely when transferring at busy spaces like Obalende or CMS, especially in the evening. Avoid holding your expensive smartphones out in the open when inside a slow-moving Danfo in heavy traffic around Alapere or Ojota to prevent 'one-chance' operators and traffic robbers.

There is no direct BRT lane or rail line linking Lekki straight to Ojota. However, you can board the regulated Lagos State Standard BRI buses from Ajah/Lekki going towards Berger or Oshodi which will stop or drop passengers along the Ikorodu Road corridor near Ojota.
