Walk or take a short Keke from your house to Abule Egba Under-bridge.
Board a yellow Danfo bus going to Iyana Ipaja and drop at the final bus stop.
From Iyana Ipaja, cross the road and enter another Danfo straight to Ikotun or Egbeda.
At Ikotun, board a direct Danfo going to Iyana Iba or Igando, and tell the driver you will drop at LASU Gate.
Always hold your change (small money) before entering the bus to avoid 'change' fights with conductors.
Keep your bags tightly closed and hold them in front of you at Iyana Ipaja and Ikotun parks.
Listen to the conductor carefully so you do not carry your 'drop' pass your actual bus stop.
If you are confused, ask passengers inside the bus rather than asking random people on the road.

Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally safe during the day, but you must be very careful at major junctions like Iyana Ipaja and Iyana Iba. Pickpockets operate heavily in these crowded places. Avoid displaying your phone or carrying cash carelessly. Avoid late-night movement as commercial buses reduce and rough elements take over the parks.

There is no direct BRT or train line from Abule Egba to LASU. However, you can use the BRT buses from Abule Egba down to Oshodi or Iyana Ipaja, then connect with regular commercial buses (Danfo) to complete your journey to LASU.

Because of current high fuel prices, you should budget between ₦4,000 and ₦5,000 for a safe and comfortable round trip using public transport (Danfo), to cover unexpected minor price hikes on your way back.
No, there are no direct public commercial buses from Abule Egba to LASU. You must enter a bus to a major connection point like Iyana Ipaja, Egbeda, or Oshodi, and change buses from there.
The fastest alternative when main roads are blocked is using the inner link roads through Command, Ayobo, and hitting the Igando-Iba axis. If you are using public transport, breaking the journey into smaller pieces (Abule Egba to Ipaja, Ipaja to Ikotun, Ikotun to LASU) helps you navigate around bad traffic spots easily.
Buses become very scarce along the Lasu-Iba road after 9:00 PM. It is highly advised not to start this journey late in the evening to avoid getting stranded or falling victim to 'one-chance' criminals who operate nighttime transport.
