Take a BRT bus from your nearest Lekki BRT stop (e.g., Lekki 1st Roundabout, Chevron, Ajah) heading towards CMS/TBS. This is usually the fastest part of the journey.
At CMS, locate the BRT or Danfo buses going to Mile 2. There are many buses going this way. Board one of these.
From Mile 2, take a Danfo or 'korope' (smaller bus) heading towards Badagry. Tell the conductor you are alighting at Volks Bus Stop.
BRT buses are generally more comfortable and follow dedicated lanes, which can save time on the island section.
At CMS, there are multiple bus parks; confirm your destination (Mile 2) before boarding to avoid getting on the wrong bus.
For the Mile 2 to Volks leg, look for buses clearly marked 'Badagry' or 'Agric' as they pass through Volks.
Without heavy traffic, the journey can take about 1.5 to 2 hours. However, during peak hours or with significant traffic, expect 3 to 4 hours, or even more.
It is generally advisable to complete your journey before nightfall (around 7:00 PM). If you must travel at night, use well-lit and busy bus stops, avoid empty buses, and keep your phone charged. Inform someone of your route and estimated arrival time.
It is highly unlikely to find a single direct public bus from Lekki to Volks Bus Stop. You will almost certainly need to make at least two transfers using Danfos or BRT buses.
This refers to criminal gangs who operate in public transport, posing as genuine passengers or drivers. They might rob or kidnap passengers. To avoid this, always board buses at official, busy bus stops, avoid buses with very few passengers, and be wary of overly friendly or suspicious individuals.
Danfos (yellow buses) are more numerous and reach more locations, but can be less comfortable and prone to traffic delays. BRT buses use dedicated lanes, offering a faster and generally more comfortable ride on their routes, but their coverage is limited to specific corridors.
