From your location in Lekki, take a commercial bus (Danfo) or BRT to CMS/Obalende.
At CMS/Obalende, board a BRT bus or a yellow Danfo heading to Oshodi.
From Oshodi, find a commercial minibus or Danfo going to Egbeda or Akowonjo.
At Egbeda or Akowonjo, take a Keke Napep (tricycle) or a local Danfo to your specific destination in Shasha.
Using BRT for the Lekki-CMS and CMS-Oshodi legs is usually faster and more comfortable.
Always board buses at designated bus stops to ensure your safety.
Be prepared for crowds at Oshodi, especially during peak hours. Keep your belongings secure.
If you are unsure, always ask the bus conductor or fellow passengers for directions.
The fastest way is usually by using BRT for the island-to-mainland part of the journey (Lekki to Oshodi via CMS) and then connecting to local buses. However, traffic conditions can greatly affect travel time.
Traveling at night carries higher risks. If you must travel after 7:00 PM, try to use well-lit, busy routes and avoid boarding vehicles that are nearly empty or look suspicious. Always inform someone of your travel plans.
Using BRT for longer stretches is often cheaper than Danfo. Also, avoid boarding buses that are 'chartered' or 'express' as they charge higher fares. Stick to regular public transport.
'Danfo' refers to yellow commercial mini-buses. 'Keke Napep' or 'Keke' is a tricycle. 'BRT' is the Bus Rapid Transit. 'Conductor' is the person who collects fares on the bus. 'Bus Stop' is where you board/alight.
If you get lost, ask a uniformed official (like LASTMA or police), or a shop owner for directions. Most Nigerians are helpful. Avoid asking people in secluded areas.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy traffic, plan your journey for early mornings (before 6:00 AM), late mornings (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM), or late evenings (after 8:00 PM). Avoid peak hours between 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, long routes on the mainland, especially in the evenings, carry a risk of 'one-chance' incidents. Always use designated bus stops and avoid boarding empty vehicles or those with suspicious occupants.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for major parts of the journey (e.g., Lekki to CMS, CMS to Oshodi). There is no direct rail service for this specific intra-Lagos route.
