Walk to Costain bus stop and board a yellow Danfo bus heading straight to Mile 2.
Drop at Mile 2 under-bridge, cross the pedestrian bridge safely, and move to the park heading towards Badagry or Okokomaiko.
Board another Danfo going to Iyana-Iba and tell the conductor you will drop at LASU Gate.
Alight directly at the LASU Main Gate. If the bus stops early under the Iyana-Iba bridge, take a short walk or enter a Keke to the school gate.
Always hold your change (smaller naira notes) before boarding the Danfo to avoid fights with conductors.
Keep your eyes open at Mile 2; do not display your smartphone openly while walking between buses.
If you are confused, ask food vendors or uniform security personnel for directions rather than random loiterers.
Fares spike sharply if it starts raining while you are at the bus stop, so keep extra cash handy.

BRT / Rail / Water

Always hold at least ₦4,000 in cash for a round trip using public transport. Fuel prices fluctuate constantly, and drivers quickly double fares during sudden evening rushes or unexpected downpours.
It is not advisable to ply the Mile 2 to Iyana-Iba axis late at night. Try your best to wrap up your journey and cross those zones before 7:30 PM to avoid hoodlums and dark patches with poor visibility.
No, direct standard Danfo buses from Costain to LASU do not exist. You must break the journey by stopping first at Mile 2 or getting a bus heading towards Okokomaiko from Orile.
Walk towards well-lit areas near petrol stations or ask the campus security guards at the LASU gate for the safest designated bus or Keke parking points around the area.
