Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Start at Makoko. Look for a 'Danfo' (commercial bus) heading towards Obalende or CMS. These buses typically pass through Herbert Macaulay Way and onto the Third Mainland Bridge.
Alight at Obalende Bus Park. From here, ask for 'Danfo' buses going to 'Lekki Phase 1' or 'Admiralty Way'. These buses will take the Osborne Road/Alexander Avenue route towards the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge.
Once you get to Admiralty Way in Lekki Phase 1, you might need to take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or another 'Danfo' for a short distance to Wole Olateju Crescent, depending on your exact destination.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the rush hour traffic. Mid-afternoon (between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM) can also offer relatively smoother travel. Avoid peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM).
Safety Rating
Medium. During the day, the route is generally safe. However, late-night travel can carry risks like 'one-chance' situations in less crowded buses or isolated bus stops. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid displaying valuables.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or rail service covering the entire Makoko to Lekki Phase 1 route. However, you can use BRT for a portion of the journey, specifically from Yaba to Obalende/CMS, which can be faster than regular 'Danfo' buses on that stretch.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
