Navigating from Anthony to Ajah Market in Lagos, a significant distance, requires careful planning. Your primary options include multi-leg commercial buses (Danfo) for a budget-friendly journey or direct ride-hailing services (Bolt/Uber) for comfort and speed, albeit at a significantly higher cost. Expect considerable travel time due to Lagos's notorious traffic, especially during peak hours. Having cash for bus fares and being mindful of your belongings are essential.

Head to the Anthony bus stop. This area is a major transit point. Board a yellow commercial bus (Danfo) clearly marked towards "Obalende" or "CMS". Obalende is a preferred major hub for onward journeys to Lekki/Ajah.
At Obalende, alight from the bus. Locate the dedicated bus park for destinations heading towards the Lekki axis. Search for buses going to "Ajah", "Abraham Adesanya Estate", or "Epe". All these routes pass by Ajah Market. Confirm with the conductor that they will drop you at Ajah Market.
Upon reaching Ajah Market bus stop, alight. The market is prominently located by the main road. If your bus drops you slightly further, a short Keke Napep (tricycle) ride might be needed for around ₦200-₦300.
Always have cash in smaller denominations (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors rarely have change for large notes.
Be wary of your personal belongings in crowded buses and bus stops.
Confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid miscommunication.
Traffic is highly unpredictable; add extra buffer time to your journey, especially during rush hours (6-9 AM, 4-7 PM).
Avoid listening to music or making calls on loudspeakers to respect other passengers.
To avoid the worst of Lagos traffic, it's best to travel very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or later in the morning (after 10:00 AM). Weekends generally offer less traffic congestion than weekdays, but peak hours still apply.
Yes, public transport is generally safe, but common sense precautions are advisable. Keep an eye on your belongings, avoid displaying valuables, and be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded bus stops and buses. For ride-hailing, always verify driver and vehicle details before entering.
If a direct bus to 'Ajah' is scarce, look for buses heading towards 'Abraham Adesanya Estate', 'LBS' (Lagos Business School), or even 'Epe'. These routes all pass by Ajah Market and you can inform the conductor of your exact stop.
For the typical public bus or ride-hailing route using the Third Mainland Bridge and Lekki-Epe Expressway, there are no toll gates encountered until well past Ajah Market. If a ride-hailing driver opts for the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge (unlikely for this specific destination unless requested), there would be a toll, but it's not the standard route.
