From Lagos Mainland (e.g., Ikeja, Oshodi, Yaba)

If you are coming from mainland areas like Ikeja, Oshodi, or Yaba, your journey will typically involve getting to the Island first, specifically areas like CMS, Obalende, or Lekki Phase 1, before heading further along the Lekki-Epe Expressway.

• **From Ikeja**: Enter a bus heading to Obalende or CMS. From Obalende/CMS, you will then board another bus going to Ajah or Epe, and ask to drop at Ikota.
• **From Oshodi**: Take a BRT bus or a yellow bus (Danfo) to CMS or TBS (Tafawa Balewa Square). From there, you'll find buses heading towards Ajah or Epe. Specify Ikota as your destination.
• **From Yaba/Ojuelegba**: Board a bus heading to Obalende or CMS. Once at Obalende or CMS, connect to a bus going towards Ajah or Epe, and inform the conductor you are going to Ikota.

From Lagos Island (e.g., CMS, Victoria Island, Lekki Phase 1)

Traveling to Ikota from other parts of the Island is much simpler as you are already on the same axis.

• **From CMS/Marina/TBS**: Head to the designated bus parks where you'll find numerous yellow buses (Danfo) or even some regulated mini-buses heading towards Ajah or Epe. Ikota is a major stop along this route.
• **From Victoria Island**: Make your way to the Lekki-Epe Expressway. You can take a bus from various points in Victoria Island that will connect you to the main Lekki route. Once on the Lekki-Epe Expressway, look for buses going to Ajah or Epe and alight at Ikota.
• **From Lekki Phase 1**: This is a very short journey. You can easily find buses, tricycles (Keke Napep), or even ride-hailing services that will take you directly to Ikota in a few minutes, depending on traffic.

From Ajah and Beyond (e.g., Sangotedo, Epe)

If you are coming from areas further down the Lekki-Epe Expressway like Ajah, Sangotedo, or Epe, Ikota will be on your way towards the city center.

• **From Ajah**: Board a bus heading towards Lekki Phase 1, Victoria Island, or CMS. Ikota is one of the very next major stops after Ajah.
