From River Valley Estate, take a local Keke Napep or a short Danfo ride to the main Ojodu Berger Bus Stop.
At Ojodu Berger Bus Stop, look for a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading directly to Obalende. Confirm with the conductor before boarding. These buses will cross the Third Mainland Bridge.
From Obalende, you will find numerous 'Danfo' buses heading towards Lekki, Ajah, or Maroko. Board one going towards Lekki Phase 1. Ask the conductor to drop you at a specific bus stop within Lekki Phase 1 if you have one.
Always board buses from busy, well-lit bus stops.
Have exact change ready to avoid issues with conductors.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses and bus stops.
Avoid engaging in arguments with bus conductors or drivers.
On average, the journey takes about 2.5 to 3 hours. However, during peak traffic hours (6 AM - 10 AM and 4 PM - 8 PM), it can extend to 4 hours or more.
Traveling at night within Lagos carries higher risks. It's generally advisable to complete your journey before 8 PM. If you must travel at night, use well-lit, busy bus stops and avoid isolated areas. Be extra vigilant for 'one-chance' operators.
A 'Danfo' is a popular yellow commercial bus in Lagos, often used for short to medium-distance intra-city travel. They are usually privately owned and operated.
A 'Keke Napep' is a motorized tricycle, commonly used for short-distance travel within estates and local areas where larger buses might not ply.
The 'Cowry Card' is a payment card used for public transport in Lagos, primarily for BRT buses and some other state-owned bus services. You tap it on readers when boarding and alighting.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6 AM) or late mornings (after 10 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the traffic. Mid-day (1 PM - 3 PM) can also be relatively clear. Avoid travel during evening rush hour (4 PM - 8 PM) on weekdays if possible, as journey times can double or triple.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, exercise caution. 'One-chance' syndicates can operate, especially at less crowded bus stops or late at night. Pickpockets are also a concern in crowded areas. Always board vehicles from designated, busy bus stops.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant portion of this route, offering a more structured and sometimes faster option. There is no train service for this intra-city route.
