From Shasha, find a motor park or bus stop where you can get an 'interstate bus' or 'shared taxi' heading to Lagos. Make sure the vehicle is going towards Berger Bus Stop (Ojodu Berger).
The vehicle will depart Shasha, join the Benin-Sagamu Expressway, and then proceed straight on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway (F101), eventually dropping you off at Berger Bus Stop.
At Berger Bus Stop, look for BRT buses or 'Danfo' (yellow commercial buses) heading towards 'CMS' or 'Obalende'. BRT is usually faster and more comfortable.
From CMS or Obalende, you'll need another 'Danfo' or 'shared taxi' heading to 'Lekki Phase 1' or 'Admiralty Way'. Confirm with the conductor that they are going to Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1.
The bus will take the Lekki-Epe Expressway, turn right onto Admiralty Way, and then turn left onto Wole Olateju Crescent. You can alight around the Wole Olateju Crescent area.
Depart early from Shasha to avoid heavy traffic into Lagos.
Always confirm the destination with the driver/conductor before boarding.
BRT buses from Berger to CMS are usually more structured and safer than random Danfos.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded bus stops.
Bargain politely if you feel the price for a Danfo or shared taxi is too high, especially for the last leg to Lekki.
Traveling at night on interstate routes carries higher risks of highway robbery. Within Lagos, 'one-chance' incidents are more common late at night. It's highly recommended to complete your journey before 7 PM.
The best way to avoid traffic is to depart very early in the morning (e.g., 5 AM - 6 AM). You can also try traveling mid-day on weekdays. Weekends can be unpredictable but sometimes lighter for certain routes.
You'll hear 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus), 'Keke' (tricycle), 'Okada' (motorcycle taxi - restricted in many parts of Lagos, including Lekki), 'Conductor' (bus assistant), 'Motor Park' (bus station), and 'Shared Taxi' (a car that takes multiple passengers like a bus).
Yes, always carry enough cash in small denominations (₦100, ₦200, ₦500 notes) for public transport fares, as card payments are not accepted on buses and taxis.
LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and VIO (Vehicle Inspection Officers) are often seen around major junctions, especially on the Lekki-Epe Expressway, Admiralty Way, and entry/exit points of the Third Mainland Bridge. Ensure your chosen vehicle is roadworthy and adheres to traffic rules to avoid delays.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to depart Shasha is very early in the morning (around 5:00 AM - 6:00 AM) to beat the heavy traffic entering Lagos via the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and to avoid peak hour congestion on the Lekki-Epe axis. Traveling mid-day (11 AM - 2 PM) on weekdays can also be less congested, but you might face some traffic as you approach Lekki.
Safety Rating
Medium. While major expressways are generally safe during the day, evening travel carries higher risks. 'One-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed by criminals posing as public transport operators) can occur, especially in isolated areas or late at night. Highway robberies are also a concern on interstate routes, particularly if traveling very late or very early. Always choose reputable transport providers.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of your journey within Lagos, specifically from major hubs like Berger or CMS/Obalende towards Lekki. There is no direct rail line from Shasha to Lekki Phase 1. While the Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge train operates, getting from its Lagos station (Ebute Metta) to Lekki Phase 1 would require significant additional public transport, making it less practical as a primary alternative for this specific route.
