It is a long journey that crosses the lagoon and passes through major commercial hubs like Orile and Mile 2.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the worst traffic, leave Lekki very early between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM if you are heading out for morning business. For off-peak travel, the best time is between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Avoid starting this journey between 4:00 PM and 7:30 PM because workers returning home will block the major corridors, especially around CMS and Mile 2.
Safety Rating
Medium - You must remain highly alert, especially at major bus stops like CMS, Mile 2, and Maza Maza. Pickpocketing and bag-snatching are common in these crowded areas. Avoid showing expensive phones or carrying large amounts of cash openly. If you are travelling late in the evening, look out for 'One-Chance' buses (fake commercial vehicles used by criminals) and always board from organized garages rather than roadside pick-up points.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, there is partial rail and BRT availability. You can use the Lagos Blue Line Rail from Marina (near CMS) to Mile 2, which helps you bypass the heavy traffic on the road completely. From Mile 2, you will find BRT buses and standard commercial buses going down to Trade Fair along the dedicated transit lanes.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
