Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Royal Garden Estate gate, take a Keke Napep (tricycle) or a short Danfo (mini-bus) to the nearest major bus stop on Lekki-Epe Expressway, usually around Sangotedo or Abraham Adesanya.
At Sangotedo or Abraham Adesanya, look for a Danfo or commercial bus heading towards Ajah.
From Ajah, find a Danfo or commercial bus going directly to Lekki Phase 1 (e.g., Lekki Gate, Admiralty Way). You might need to specify 'Lekki Phase 1' to avoid buses terminating earlier.
Once in Lekki Phase 1, if your final destination is deeper inside, take a Keke Napep or another short Danfo from Lekki Gate or a major junction like Admiralty Way.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid the worst of Lagos traffic, it's best to travel between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, or after 8:00 PM. Peak hours are typically 6:00 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM on weekdays. Weekends generally have lighter traffic, but Saturdays can still be busy due to events.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed by criminals posing as public transport operators) can occur, especially in shared taxis or unmarked vehicles late at night or very early in the morning. Pickpocketing can also happen in crowded buses. Always use well-lit, busy bus stops and recognized public transport.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available along parts of the Lekki-Epe Expressway from Ajah towards Lekki Phase 1 and further to CMS/TBS. There is no rail transport option for this specific route.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
