From Ajah BRT Terminal (or Abraham Adesanya), cross to the other side of the road and look for 'Danfo' (yellow buses) or shared 'Keke Napep' (tricycles) heading towards Eleko Junction. Confirm with the driver that they are going to 'Eleko' or 'Awoyaya/Lakowe' and beyond.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of the rush hour traffic. Weekends generally have lighter traffic. Avoid traveling between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM on weekdays if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. While the Lekki-Epe corridor is generally safe during the day, late-night travel, especially beyond Ajah, requires extra caution. Always use well-known public transport and avoid isolated bus stops after dark. 'One-chance' incidents are rare on this specific route but always a general risk when boarding unknown vehicles.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT buses are available for a significant portion of this route (from Victoria Island/CMS to Ajah/Abraham Adesanya). There is no rail service available for this specific journey.
Avoid boarding roadside unofficial buses at Oshodi or Ojota. Always use the ticketing booths inside the official terminals to guarantee insurance and regulated boarding rates.
