From Ajah Market, walk to the Ajah Under Bridge bus stop (also known as Ajah Berger or Ajah Last Bus Stop), which is a major bus terminal in Ajah.
At Ajah Under Bridge, board a commercial bus (Danfo) specifically heading towards 'CMS' or 'Obalende'. Always confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding.
Alight at either CMS or Obalende. If you alight at CMS, walk towards the main CMS Bus Stop where buses for various routes converge. If at Obalende, proceed to the central Obalende Bus Park.
From CMS or Obalende, look for buses heading towards 'Ojota', 'Ketu', or 'Mile 12'. These routes typically pass through Anthony. Inform the conductor that you intend to alight at 'Anthony' to ensure they stop there for you.
Always carry small denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors often do not have change for large notes.
Be highly vigilant of your personal belongings, especially in crowded bus stops and while boarding or alighting.
To avoid the worst of Lagos traffic and potentially higher fares, try to travel during off-peak hours (e.g., 10 AM - 3 PM on weekdays).
Confirm the specific landmark or street name near your final destination in Anthony with locals or your contact, as 'Anthony' is a broad area.
For a more direct and comfortable, albeit significantly more expensive, option, consider ride-hailing services like Bolt or Uber.
The journey duration varies significantly based on traffic conditions. During off-peak hours, it can take 2 to 3 hours, but during peak hours (morning and evening rush), it can extend to 3.5 to 5 hours.
No, there are no direct commercial buses (Danfo) that ply the Ajah Market to Anthony route. You will need to take at least two buses, with a major interchange at CMS or Obalende.
Generally, yes, it is safe. However, always be vigilant, protect your valuables, and avoid flashing expensive items. Travel during daylight hours if possible, and stick to known major bus stops.
Yes, ride-hailing services are readily available and offer a direct, more comfortable, and faster option. However, they are significantly more expensive, with fares potentially ranging from ₦7,000 to ₦12,000 or more in, depending on surge pricing, traffic, and vehicle type.
To avoid the worst of Lagos traffic, aim to travel between 10 AM and 2 PM on weekdays. Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late evenings (after 8:00 PM) are also generally less congested, though late travel might have other safety considerations.
