Head to the main Anthony Bus Stop, which is easily accessible from various parts of Anthony. Look for buses heading towards 'Ketu', 'Mile 12', or 'Ikorodu'. Confirm with the conductor that they drop passengers at Ketu Bus Stop.
Alight at Ketu Bus Stop. Cross to the side of the road heading towards Mile 12 (if you weren't dropped directly on that side). Look for smaller buses or Keke Napeps explicitly loading for 'Ikosi'. The loading points are usually near the pedestrian bridge or the market entrance.
Board the Ikosi-bound bus or Keke Napep. It will take you directly into Ikosi, along Ikosi Road, dropping you at various points depending on your exact destination within Ikosi.
Avoid peak hours (6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM) if possible to reduce travel time and slightly lower fares.
Always have smaller denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors often claim no change.
Confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid misdirection.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses.
The fastest way is usually by a ride-hailing service (Uber/Bolt) as it offers a direct route without multiple transfers. However, heavy traffic on Ikorodu Road can significantly affect travel time, even for ride-hailing.
The cheapest way is by using the standard commercial bus (Danfo) service, involving two legs: Anthony to Ketu, then Ketu to Ikosi. This method typically costs between ₦750 - ₦1100.
While public transport is generally operational, exercising caution is advisable at night. If possible, opt for ride-hailing services for enhanced safety and convenience during late hours. If using Danfo, stick to main bus stops and well-lit areas.
Without significant traffic, the journey can take between 25-45 minutes. During peak hours or in heavy traffic, it can extend to 60-90 minutes or even more, regardless of the transport mode.
While BRT operates along Ikorodu Road, there isn't a direct BRT route from Anthony to Ikosi that fully covers the last mile. You could take a BRT from Maryland (near Anthony) to Ketu, then transfer to a Danfo or Keke for Ikosi. However, the direct Danfo path is often equally efficient for the first leg.
