Moving from Iyana Ipaja to Iyana School connects you from the busy Alimosho area down to the Ojo axis. This route takes you through major intersections like Oshodi or Ikotun depending on your choice, or straight down via the Lasu-Iba corridor. Because of heavy traffic around major markets and school zones, you need to plan your movement carefully to avoid getting stuck on the road.

Go to the main garage at Iyana Ipaja Under-bridge and board a direct Danfo bus heading to Ikotun.
Drop at Ikotun bus stop, cross the road safely, and find the buses or Kekes loading for Iba Junction.
From Iba Junction, take a short Danfo or enter a Keke going towards LASU or Igbo Elerin and tell the driver you will drop at Iyana School.
Always enter buses inside the main garage instead of standing by the roadside to avoid pickpockets.
Hold your change (smaller naira notes) before you enter the bus so you do not have issues with the conductor.
Keep your phone and wallet inside your bag, and hold your bag tightly to your front when walking through Ikotun.
Ask the conductor clearly if the bus is stopping at your exact destination before you step inside.

Because of recent fuel price increases, the total cost depends on how you travel. If you use standard public Danfo buses, expect to spend between ₦1,300 and ₦2,000. If you choose the express route or if there is heavy rain, it can easily climb higher.
No, it is very rare to find a direct commercial Danfo bus going straight from Iyana Ipaja to Iyana School. You will need to break the journey by stopping at intermediate places like Ikotun, Iba Junction, or Oshodi.
The absolute worst times are the morning peak hours between 7:00 AM and 9:30 AM when people are rushing to work and school, and the evening rush from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM when everyone is heading back home.
Buses become very scarce after 9:00 PM. While you might still find few commercial vehicles, fares will double and the safety risk increases significantly. It is highly advised to finish your travel before nightfall.
