From Shasha Bus Stop, board a Danfo heading towards Oshodi.
At Oshodi Under Bridge, alight and find another Danfo going to CMS/Obalende. These typically use Agege Motor Road and Third Mainland Bridge.
From CMS or Obalende, board a Danfo or minibus going to your specific destination in Lekki (e.g., Lekki Phase 1, Jakande, Chevron, Ajah). These will use the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Confirm the exact destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way.
Keep your valuables secure, especially in crowded bus stops like Oshodi and CMS.
Try to have exact change to avoid arguments over 'balance'.
LASTMA and VIO officials are frequently seen on the Third Mainland Bridge, along Ikorodu Road (especially around Fadeyi and Ojota), and on the Lekki-Epe Expressway (particularly near toll gates and major junctions like Ikate and Ajah). They often target commercial vehicles for various infractions.
Traveling at night increases safety risks. It's advisable to complete your journey before 8:00 PM. If you must travel at night, use well-lit, busy bus stops and avoid isolated routes. Always inform someone of your travel plans.
Yes, ride-hailing apps are available and offer a more comfortable and direct option, but they are significantly more expensive than public transport. This guide focuses on public commuting methods.
The Danfo multiple-stage option is generally the most cost-effective. However, be prepared for longer travel times and potential discomfort due to crowding. BRT offers a balance of cost and comfort for part of the journey.
'Short-trip' buses are common for shorter segments within a major route. For a long journey like Shasha to Lekki, you will naturally be taking multiple 'short-trip' buses as you transfer between major hubs like Oshodi, CMS, and Lekki. Always confirm the final destination of the bus.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) on weekdays are best to avoid peak hour traffic. Saturdays and Sundays generally have lighter traffic, but Sundays can see congestion around religious centers.
Safety Rating
Medium. While Lagos is generally safe during the day, long-distance intra-city travel, especially at night, comes with risks. Be wary of 'one-chance' vehicles, pickpockets in crowded bus stops, and ensure your phone is charged for emergencies.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of the journey (e.g., from Mile 12/Ojota to CMS/TBS), offering a faster and more structured public transport option. There is no direct rail link for this specific intra-city route.
