Anthony Village Bus Stop, Idiroko Bus Stop, Ojota Terminal (if connecting)
Locate the nearest major bus stop along Ikorodu Road from your point in Anthony (e.g., Anthony Village bus stop, Idiroko bus stop). Board a yellow commercial bus (Danfo) clearly marked 'Obalende' or 'CMS'. If direct buses are unavailable, take a bus towards 'Yaba' or 'Fadeyi', then transfer to an 'Obalende' bound bus from there.
Obalende Bus Park, CMS Bus Stop, Inner Marina Road
Alight at Obalende Bus Park. From Obalende, you have several options for the short distance to CMS Marina: you can either walk (approximately 10-15 minutes) along the Outer Marina Road, take another short commercial bus (Danfo), a shared taxi (Kabu-Kabu), or a Keke Napep directly to 'CMS' or specific points on 'Marina'.
💡Pro Travel Tips
Always confirm the bus fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid disputes.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses and bus stops.
Avoid traveling during peak rush hours (6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM) if possible, as traffic can significantly increase travel time and fares.
Have smaller denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) ready for bus fares.
Be wary of 'agberos' (touts) at bus stops who might try to overcharge or intimidate; stick to official bus conductors and drivers.

❓Route FAQ
Can I use Keke Napep for the entire journey from Anthony to CMS Marina?
No, Keke Napeps (tricycles) are restricted from major expressways and bridges like the Third Mainland Bridge, which is essential for travel from Anthony to CMS. They are best suited for short distances within specific areas, particularly for the last mile from Obalende to your exact destination at CMS if it's not directly on the main bus route or within easy walking distance.
What are the best times to travel to avoid heavy traffic?
To avoid the worst of Lagos traffic, aim to travel early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late evenings (after 7:00 PM). Mid-day (around 10 AM - 2 PM) can also offer less congestion compared to the peak rush hours (6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM).
Is it safe to travel by public transport in Lagos?
Millions of Lagosians use public transport daily, and it is generally safe. However, it's always advisable to be aware of your surroundings, protect your belongings (especially phones and wallets), and avoid displaying valuables. Traveling during daylight hours is also recommended, particularly if you are new to a route.
