From your starting point in Mushin, take a Danfo or Keke Napep to Oshodi Under Bridge.
At Oshodi Under Bridge, find a Danfo or BRT bus heading to Obalende. These buses will cross the Third Mainland Bridge.
From Obalende, look for a Danfo or a commercial mini-bus going towards Lekki Phase 1 (Admiralty Way).
Once in Lekki Phase 1, take a Keke Napep or another short-trip Danfo to Lekki Phase 2 (Ahmad Tijani Otton Street area).
Look for 'straight' buses to reduce the number of changes, though they might be less frequent.
If a bus is not going all the way, you can enter 'short-trip' buses that cover shorter distances to beat long queues for direct buses.
Always confirm the destination and fare before boarding.
The journey from Mushin to Lekki Phase 2 can take anywhere from 1 hour to 3 hours, depending on traffic conditions and your chosen transport option. The ground truth travel time of 21 minutes is for ideal, no-traffic conditions, which are rare in Lagos.
Using a combination of Danfo buses for each leg of the journey is generally the cheapest option. Expect to pay between ₦900 and ₦1,800 in total, depending on traffic and specific bus stops.
While major roads are generally safe, it's advisable to complete your journey before 8:00 PM if possible. If traveling at night, stick to well-lit areas and major bus stops. Be cautious of 'one-chance' vehicles, which are unmarked taxis or buses used by criminals. Always board vehicles at recognized parks or bus stops.
It is highly unlikely to find a single direct bus from Mushin to Lekki Phase 2. You will almost certainly need to take multiple buses or Keke Napeps, changing at major hubs like Oshodi, Obalende, or CMS.
