Take a short walk out of your street in Oniru or enter a local Keke to get to the main Lekki-Epe Expressway at Maroko / Sandfill Bus Stop.
Cross over to the side facing Lekki/Epe and board a big commercial bus (Danfo) or Coaster bus going towards Ajah.
Tell the conductor you will drop at Chevron Bus Stop. The bus will pass through Jakande and Igbo Efon before reaching your stop.
Drop at Chevron Bus Stop. If your final destination is inside the Chevron estate or alternative streets nearby, take a registered Keke or walk from the junction.
Always enter the bus with 'change' (small naira notes) so you do not have issues with the conductor.
Keep your bag zipped and firmly in front of you when standing at Sandfill or dropping at Chevron.
Listen carefully to the conductor so you do not miss your bus stop, as these buses move very fast when the road is clear.
Because of current fuel price hikes, if you use a commercial Danfo bus, you should budget between ₦1,100 and ₦1,700 in total. If you prefer using a ride-hailing app car, it will cost you between ₦4,500 and ₦7,500 depending on the traffic situation.
Yes, traffic can be very heavy. The major bottlenecks are usually around the Jakande roundabout and Igbo Efon junctions. During closing hours (5:00 PM to 8:00 PM), a trip that should take 30 minutes can easily take over an hour and a half.
No, Kekes are not allowed to fly long distances on the main Lekki-Epe expressway. You can only take a Keke within Oniru to get to the main road, and then take another Keke inside Chevron Drive after dropping from the bus.
It is safer to finish your journey before 9:00 PM. If you must travel late, avoid standing alone at dark bus stops like Sandfill or Chevron junction. Use a recognized ride-hailing car or enter a commercial bus that has many passengers already inside.

Best Time to Travel
For morning trips, hit the road before 6:30 AM or wait until after 10:00 AM when the early rush clears. For evening trips, try to leave before 4:00 PM, or wait until after 8:30 PM to avoid the heavy gridlock of people returning home from the Island.
Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally safe during the day, but you must be careful at night. Watch out for pickpockets at major junctions like Sandfill, Jakande, and Chevron Roundabout. Avoid holding your phone carelessly in traffic to prevent 'one-chance' thieves or traffic robbers from snatching it through the window.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no functional BRT lane or rail system along this Lekki-Epe expressway corridor yet. You have to rely on standard commercial buses, corporate shuttle buses (like Shuttlers), kekes, or private cars.
