This guide helps you travel from Osapa London (Lekki) to Amuwo Odofin. Moving from the Island to the Mainland requires passing through heavy traffic hubs like Obalende, Costain, or Mile 2. Because of high fuel prices and inflation, transport fares are now dynamic, and travelers must plan for major road delays, especially during morning and evening rush hours.
Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
To beat the heavy morning rush, leave Osapa London before 6:00 AM. If you miss this early window, wait until the off-peak period between 11:00 AM and 2:30 PM. For evening travel from the Mainland back to the Island, try to move before 4:00 PM or after 8:30 PM to avoid standing in long bus queues.

Take a short Keke ride or walk from your street inside Osapa London out to the main Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Cross the road safely using the pedestrian ways and board a big coastal bus or a yellow Danfo heading to Obalende.
From Obalende, locate the buses going to Mile 2. They will drive through Eko Bridge or Costain to connect to the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.
Drop at Mile 2, cross to the other side, and enter a final short Keke or Danfo going straight into Amuwo Odofin estate or Festac link road.
Always hold small change (change / 'wazo') to pay the bus conductors so you do not get tied up in arguments.
Listen carefully when conductors call out destinations. Ask questions before you enter so you don't enter the wrong bus.
Keep your luggage small because Danfo drivers charge extra money for big loads.
Secure your phones in your inner pockets when changing buses at Obalende and Mile 2.

Safety Rating
Medium - Be very alert at major connection points like Obalende, CMS, and Mile 2. Keep your phones and wallets inside your bags. Avoid displaying cash openly. When moving late at night, stay in crowded areas and use registered yellow buses rather than lone vehicles. Watch out for pickpockets at Mile 2 Under-bridge.
BRT / Rail / Water

Yes. You can take a bus from Osapa London to Marina, then enter the Lagos Blue Line Rail from Marina directly to Mile 2. This is highly recommended to avoid the heavy road traffic on the Mainland.
The worst times are morning rush hours (6:30 AM to 9:30 AM) when everyone is rushing to work, and evening rush hours (4:30 PM to 8:30 PM) when people are returning home. Traffic at these times can double your travel time.
