From your location in Oniru, walk to the main road, Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue, or a nearby bus stop. Look for yellow buses (Danfo) heading towards Lekki Phase 1 or further down the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Board a Danfo bus. Confirm with the conductor that it is going towards your specific destination in Lekki. You might need to take a direct bus or one that drops you at a major junction for a connecting ride.
If your final destination is deeper into Lekki (e.g., beyond Lekki Phase 1 towards Jakande, Chevron, or Ajah), you may need to alight at a major bus stop like Lekki Phase 1 or Elegushi and take another Danfo or a Keke Napep.
Always confirm the bus's final destination with the conductor before boarding to ensure you're on the right route.
Have small denominations of Naira (₦50, ₦100, ₦200) ready for fares, as conductors often do not have change for large notes.
Be aware of your personal belongings, especially in crowded buses or during peak travel times.
During peak hours (typically 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM in the morning and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM in the evening), the journey from Oniru to Lekki can take significantly longer, ranging from 1 hour 30 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the severity of traffic and your exact destination within Lekki.
While many people travel this route at night, it's generally advisable to exercise caution and avoid traveling alone late at night, especially in public transport. If you must, choose well-lit routes, sit near the driver or other passengers, and ensure someone knows your travel plans for added safety.
Key bus stops along the Lekki-Epe corridor include Lekki Phase 1 Gate, Admiralty Way Junction, Second Roundabout, Jakande, Charly Boy, and Abraham Adesanya. Your choice of bus stop will depend on your precise final destination within Lekki.
