Navigating from Anthony to Agege involves a two-leg journey by commercial bus (Danfo), typically connecting through major hubs like Oshodi. While Danfo is the most economical, ride-hailing services offer direct, albeit pricier, alternatives. Expect higher costs than 2024 due to stabilized but elevated inflation.

From your exact location in Anthony, head to the nearest major bus stop on Ikorodu Road (e.g., Anthony Village Bus Stop). Look for commercial buses (Danfo) or BRT feeder buses heading towards Oshodi. Confirm with the conductor before boarding.
Alight at Oshodi Underbridge or one of the Oshodi Terminals (ensure it's a point where you can easily find buses to Agege). From Oshodi, locate the designated loading points for buses heading to Agege. Look for buses marked 'Agege', 'Pen Cinema', 'Dopemu', or 'Egbeda' (which will pass through Agege). Confirm your destination with the conductor.
**Off-Peak Travel:** To save time and potentially avoid surge pricing on ride-hailing, aim to travel during off-peak hours (e.g., mid-morning 10 AM-12 PM, or early afternoon 2 PM-4 PM).
**Cash is King:** Always have sufficient small denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares, as conductors rarely have change for large notes.
**Confirm Destination & Fare:** Always confirm the bus destination and fare with the conductor before boarding, especially at busy hubs like Oshodi, to avoid misunderstandings.
**Watch Your Belongings:** Keep an eye on your bags and pockets, particularly in crowded bus stops and while boarding/alighting.
**Consider BRT (Partial):** While not a direct full BRT route, you can sometimes use BRT from Anthony to Oshodi and then switch to a normal Danfo for Agege. BRT may be slightly more expensive but offers more comfort and sometimes dedicated lanes.
