From Anthony Village Road, walk to the Anthony Bus Stop on Ikorodu Road.
Board a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading towards 'Ojota' or 'Berger'. Make sure the bus conductor confirms 'Ojota'.
Alight at Ojota Bus Stop. This is a major interchange. Look for buses going towards 'Alausa' or 'Secretariat'.
Board another Danfo heading to 'Alausa' or 'Secretariat'. Confirm with the conductor.
Alight at Secretariat Bus Stop in Alausa. Your destination will be a short walk from here.
Always confirm your destination with the bus conductor before boarding, even if the sign says your route.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses and at busy bus stops like Ojota.
Avoid traveling late at night with unknown public transport.
LASTMA and VIO officials are often present around Ojota and Secretariat; ensure your bus looks roadworthy to avoid delays.
'One-chance' refers to a type of robbery where criminals pose as public transport operators (bus drivers/conductors) and rob passengers. To avoid this, always board buses at busy, well-lit bus stops, avoid empty buses, and be wary of vehicles with suspiciously few passengers or those that divert from the main route. Trust your instincts.
While 'Keke Napep' (tricycles) and 'Okada' (motorcycles) are common for shorter distances or within specific areas, they are generally not suitable or allowed for the entire Anthony to Alausa route, especially on major roads like Ikorodu Road or Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Keke might be an option for the very last mile within Alausa if your destination is far from the Secretariat bus stop.
Most 'Danfo' buses have their destination written on the front. If you're unsure, simply ask the bus conductor or other passengers 'Ojota?' or 'Alausa?' before boarding. For BRT, check the signs at the station or ask the station staff.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of the rush hour traffic. Evenings (after 7:00 PM) can also be less congested, but travel with caution due to safety concerns. Mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) offers the most balanced travel experience.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents (robbery by fake public transport operators) can occur, especially in isolated areas or late at night. Always use registered buses at designated stops and avoid empty vehicles. Pickpocketing is also a risk in crowded buses and bus stops.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available along Ikorodu Road, offering a faster and more structured option for part of this route. There is no intra-city rail service available for this specific journey.
