From your starting point in Lekki (e.g., Lekki Phase 1 Gate or Admiralty Way), board a 'Danfo' (yellow mini-bus) or 'minibus' heading towards Falomo or Obalende. Confirm with the conductor that it's going to Falomo.
Alight at Falomo Bus Stop (usually under the Falomo Bridge). From there, look for another 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' heading deeper into Ikoyi, specifically towards Parkview Estate or Awolowo Road. Tell the driver/conductor you are going to 'Parkview Estate Gate'.
Always confirm your destination with the driver or conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way.
Keep small denominations of Naira (₦50, ₦100, ₦200) for bus fares, as conductors sometimes claim not to have change for larger notes.
Be aware of your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops like Falomo.
Generally, it's safer to travel during the day. If you must travel at night, try to finish your journey by 9:00 PM. Use well-lit and busy bus stops. Avoid boarding vehicles that are not clearly marked or look suspicious.
The best way is to travel outside of peak hours (6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM on weekdays). Weekends generally have lighter traffic, but can still be busy around markets or event venues.
No, there is no direct BRT route from Lekki to Parkview Estate. You will need to use the yellow 'Danfo' buses or 'Keke Napep' tricycles.
'Danfo' refers to the yellow public mini-buses. 'Keke Napep' or just 'Keke' refers to tricycles. 'Conductor' is the person who collects fares on the bus. 'Bus Stop' is where you board and alight.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) and late mornings (after 9:30 AM) are best to avoid the worst traffic. Mid-day (11:00 AM - 3:00 PM) is also usually smoother. Avoid peak evening hours (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. The route itself is generally safe during the day. However, like any busy city, 'one-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed in public transport) can occur, especially in uncertified shared taxis or late at night. Always use buses from known bus stops and avoid very late-night travel.
BRT / Rail / Water
No direct BRT or rail service is available for this specific intra-city route. You will rely on 'Danfo' (mini-buses) and 'Keke Napep' (tricycles).
