Moving from Ilupeju to Anthony is quite short because they are close to each other, but traffic can turn a 10-minute trip into a long wait. You can easily use standard yellow buses (Danfo), commercial tricycles (Keke), or ride-hailing cars depending on your budget and how much comfort you want.

Walk or take a short drop to the popular Town Planning Way Bus Stop in Ilupeju.
Board a yellow commercial bus (Danfo) heading towards Anthony or Oshodi that passes through the bypass.
Stay on the bus as it approaches the main expressway and cross towards the Anthony axis.
Highlight or tell the conductor 'Drop' as the bus reaches the final terminal point.
Always enter the bus with small change ('change' or lower naira notes) to avoid fights with the conductor.
Keep your eyes on the road and do not look at your phone when the bus stops in traffic near Anthony Oke.
Ask the driver if the bus is going to 'Anthony Oke' or 'Anthony Under-bridge' before you step inside.
If you are going deep into Anthony, you can easily walk from the main bus stop or take a short local connection.
Because of recent fuel price increases, a standard direct Danfo bus trip will cost you anywhere between ₦700 and ₦1,100 depending on the exact time of the day and traffic density.
It is not advisable to walk between these areas late at night. The footbridges and under-bridge zones can be lonely and dark, making them targets for street boys and petty criminals.
The fastest way to beat heavy traffic is to use the commercial tricycles (Keke) through the inner streets of Ilupeju before linking up to the Anthony axis, or to travel during off-peak hours like midday.
No, you do not need a BRT bus. The distance is short and standard commercial buses, Kekes, or ride-hailing options are much more convenient for this specific movement.

Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally safe during the day, but you must look out for pickpockets at busy spots like Anthony Under-bridge. Avoid walking alone in dark corners at night and always hold your phone tight when the bus is in slow traffic.
