From Sangotedo, board a Danfo (public yellow bus) heading towards 'Ajah' or 'CMS/Obalende via Ajah'.
Alight at 'Ajah Underbridge' or 'Ajah Bus Stop'. Look for another Danfo going towards 'Lekki / CMS'.
Tell the conductor you're going to 'Lekki Phase 1' or 'Admiralty Way'. You might need to alight around 'Lekki 1st Roundabout' or 'Chisco Bus Stop' and take a Keke (tricycle) or another short Danfo into Admiralty Way.
Take a Keke or local Danfo from Lekki 1st Roundabout/Chisco into Admiralty Way. Specify your destination on Wole Olateju Crescent.
Always confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid going off-route.
For faster travel, look for 'express' Danfos that make fewer stops, though they might be slightly more expensive.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded buses and at bus stops.
By public transport, expect the journey to take anywhere from 1 hour to 2.5 hours, depending on traffic conditions and how quickly you make your transfers.
The multi-leg public Danfo journey is generally the cheapest option, though the BRT combination can sometimes be comparable or even cheaper if you get a direct BRT route for most of the distance.
Traveling at night carries a 'medium' safety risk. If possible, avoid late-night public transport, especially in less crowded areas. If you must travel, stick to well-lit areas and busy bus stops. Be extra vigilant about your belongings.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late evenings (after 8:00 PM) are best to avoid heavy traffic on the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Mid-day (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) can also be less congested.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, evening travel on public buses requires caution due to 'one-chance' syndicates. Traffic robberies can occur in slow-moving traffic hotspots, so keep valuables out of sight.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT buses operate along portions of the Lekki-Epe Expressway, offering a faster and more structured public transport option for part of the journey. However, there is no direct BRT route into the inner parts of Lekki Phase 1 (like Admiralty Way). There is no rail option for this specific intra-city route.
