Start by getting to a major bus stop along Ayangburen Road or Ikorodu Road in Ikorodu. Board a 'Danfo' bus heading towards Ketu or Mile 12. This will take you along Ikorodu Road.
Alight at Ketu or Mile 12. Cross to the other side of Ikorodu Road (if necessary) and find a 'Danfo' bus going towards Ikeja Under Bridge or Ikeja Along. This route will use Mobolaji Bank-Anthony Way, Kodesoh Street, Obafemi Awolowo Way, and Ikeja Flyover Bridge.
From Ikeja Under Bridge / Ikeja Along, board another 'Danfo' bus or 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) specifically heading towards Iyana Ipaja or directly to Iyana School. Make sure to confirm 'Iyana School' with the conductor. This leg will take you along Agege Motor Road, Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, and then turn onto Idi-Iroko Road.
Alight directly at Iyana School. The driver or conductor will call out the stop.
Always confirm your final destination with the bus conductor before boarding to avoid going in the wrong direction.
Be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops like Mile 12, Ketu, and Ikeja Under Bridge.
For shorter segments, sometimes 'short-trip' buses are available which can be quicker but might cost slightly more per stage.
While the ideal time is 42 minutes, actual travel time can range from 1.5 hours during light traffic to 3 hours or more during peak periods or heavy rain, especially with public transport changes.
Yes, key bus stops on this route include Ikorodu Roundabout, Mile 12, Ketu, Ojota, Maryland, Ikeja Under Bridge (also known as Ikeja Along), Mangoro, Cement, Super, Iyana Ipaja, and Iyana School.
'One-chance' refers to a criminal modus operandi where passengers are lured into a vehicle (often disguised as public transport) only to be robbed or abducted. To stay safe, use busy, well-lit bus stops, avoid isolated vehicles, and travel during the day if possible.
Night travel, especially using public 'Danfo' buses, is generally not recommended for safety reasons due to reduced visibility and higher risk of 'one-chance' incidents. If unavoidable, use reliable charter services or well-known transport hubs, and inform someone of your travel plans.
LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) and VIO (Vehicle Inspection Office) officials are frequently stationed at major junctions and bus stops. Expect to see them around Mile 12, Ketu, Ojota, Maryland, and Ikeja Under Bridge, enforcing traffic laws and vehicle compliance.

Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy traffic, depart early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or during off-peak hours (between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM). Weekend travel generally offers less congestion. Avoid the evening rush hour from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, Lagos roads can pose certain risks. 'One-chance' incidents (where criminals pose as public transport operators) are a concern, especially when traveling late at night or from isolated bus stops. Always use well-lit, busy bus stops and recognized transport options. Petty theft can occur in crowded areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for the initial part of your journey from Ikorodu towards Mile 12/Ketu and further to Ojota or Maryland. There is no direct rail service connecting Ikorodu to Iyana School for intra-city travel.
