Head to the main Anthony Bus Stop. Depending on your exact starting point in Anthony, this typically refers to the bus stop located near the Anthony Police Station or the flyover.
Board a commercial bus (Danfo) heading towards 'Ojota', 'Mile 12', or 'Ketu'. Confirm with the conductor that the bus will pass directly through Ojota.
Alight at Ojota Bus Stop. This is a major interchange. Listen for the conductor calling out 'Ojota' or look for the prominent overhead pedestrian bridge and multiple connecting roads.

Board another commercial bus (Danfo) heading towards 'Berger', 'Mowe', or 'Ibafo'. Make sure the bus clearly states 'Berger' as its destination, or confirm with the conductor.

Always carry smaller denominations of Naira (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors often do not have change for large notes.
Be extra vigilant with your personal belongings, especially in crowded bus stops like Ojota and Berger, where petty theft can occur.
Travel during off-peak hours (typically 10 AM - 3 PM on weekdays) to avoid heavy traffic and potentially slightly lower fares.
Confirm the destination and fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid any misunderstandings during your journey.
Pay attention to landmarks and listen to the conductor's announcements to know when to alight, especially if you are unfamiliar with the route.
