Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Shomolu Estate, locate a Keke Napep (tricycle) or a local Danfo (yellow bus) heading towards Onipanu or Fadeyi Bus Stop on Ikorodu Road.
At Onipanu or Fadeyi, proceed to the BRT terminal and board a BRT bus going to CMS (Tafawa Balewa Square terminal). Ensure you have a loaded Cowry Card or purchase a ticket. This leg uses the dedicated BRT corridor, making it faster.
From CMS, look for a Danfo (yellow bus) or another BRT bus heading towards Lekki Phase 1 or specific areas within Lekki (e.g., Jakande, Ikate). Confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding.
Depending on your exact destination within Lekki, you may need a final short Keke Napep or local Danfo ride from the main Lekki-Epe Expressway bus stops to your street or compound.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid the most severe traffic, the best times to travel are mid-morning (around 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM) or early afternoon (around 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM). Peak hours are typically 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM on weekdays, when journey times can easily double or triple.
Safety Rating
Medium. During daylight hours, the route is generally safe for public transport users. However, evening and night travel (especially after 8:00 PM) carries a higher risk of 'one-chance' incidents, where passengers are robbed. Always choose busy, well-lit bus stops and opt for vehicles with other passengers. Avoid isolated stops or empty buses, particularly at night.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a significant and reliable public transport option for this route, utilizing dedicated lanes for faster travel on major corridors. There is no rail service currently available or relevant for this specific intra-Lagos journey.
