From Anthony Village, walk to Anthony Bus Stop or take a short Keke (tricycle) to the main Anthony/Maryland junction.
Board a 'Danfo' bus heading towards Fadeyi or Jibowu along Ikorodu Road. This bus will take you along Anthony Village Road, then merge onto Apapa-Oworonshoki Expressway, and then onto Ikorodu Road.
Alight at Fadeyi or Jibowu bus stop. From there, cross to the other side of the road (or wait at the same side if the bus is coming from the other direction) and board another 'Danfo' bus going to Obalende.
This second bus will take you through Murtala Muhammed Way, Herbert Macaulay Way, Clinic Road Lagos Mainland, and then onto the Third Mainland Bridge, exiting towards Obalende Road and into Obalende.
If you see a 'short-trip' Danfo directly from Anthony to Fadeyi, take it to beat queues.
Always confirm your destination with the bus conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded buses and bus stops.
During non-peak hours, a direct 'Danfo' or shared taxi can be very fast. During peak traffic, the BRT system often provides a quicker option due to its dedicated lanes, even with the need for a connection.
Generally, major routes in Lagos are manageable at night, but always exercise caution. Avoid waiting at isolated bus stops and try to use well-lit and busy areas for boarding. It's always safer to travel during daylight hours if possible.
Yes, key bus stops on this route include Anthony Bus Stop, Maryland, Fadeyi, Jibowu, TBS (Tafawa Balewa Square) and the Obalende Bus Terminus.
The best way to avoid traffic is to travel very early in the morning (before 6:30 AM) or during off-peak hours (between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM). Using the BRT system can also help bypass some traffic due to its dedicated lanes.

Medium. While main roads are generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents can occur, especially when waiting for buses late at night or in less busy areas. Always choose well-lit and busy bus stops. The Third Mainland Bridge is usually well-monitored, but be aware of your surroundings.
