At Ajah Park, board a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial mini-bus) or a larger 'Coaster' bus heading towards CMS/Obalende/TBS. Always confirm the destination with the bus conductor before boarding.

Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) to avoid peak hour congestion. Late evenings (after 7:00 PM) can also offer faster travel times, but potential safety risks are higher.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during daylight hours, travelers should be vigilant against pickpocketing in crowded buses and bus stops. The risk of 'one-chance' vehicles (unmarked vehicles used for robbery) increases significantly at night; always use known, well-lit bus stops and avoid isolated areas. Road safety is also a concern due to aggressive driving habits.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a viable option for a significant portion of this route. Dedicated BRT terminals are available along the Lekki-Epe corridor (e.g., Abraham Adesanya, Ajah) with routes heading towards CMS/TBS, which is a short connecting distance to Victoria Island. There is no rail service available for this specific local route.
