Walk to the main road at Iyana School bus stop and board a yellow Danfo bus heading towards Igando or Ikotun.
Drop at Igando bus stop. Cross over and find the buses or Keke heading straight to Egbeda via Idimu.
Get off at Egbeda bus stop. Walk towards the Akowonjo park under the bridge or roadside and enter a short-trip Danfo or Keke heading into Akowonjo Road.
Always hold change (smaller Naira notes) to avoid fights with the bus conductor.
Keep your phone and wallet inside your deep pockets or front bag when changing buses at Igando.

Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally safe during the day because it is always busy, but you must be very careful with your pockets and bags at major junctions like Igando and Egbeda. Pickpockets operate fast in crowded places. Avoid moving late at night as street lighting is poor in some sections.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no functional regular Lagos BRT lane or inner rail line operating directly on this specific Iyana School to Akowonjo route. You will mostly rely on commercial yellow buses (Danfo), tricycles (Keke), and small shuttle buses (Korope).

Bypass the Ikeja Under-Bridge corridor from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Traffic builds rapidly due to commercial buses loading along the main road lanes.
Areas Affected
Lasu-Iba Road
Because of current fuel inflation, you should hold at least ₦3,000 to ₦4,000 to cover your going and coming back comfortably using public transport, including small emergencies.
Yes, traffic gets very heavy from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The major bottle-necks are Egbeda junction and Idimu Roundabout where people returning from work clog the narrow roads.
Yes, Akowonjo has many internal keke and commercial motorcycle (okada) riders that can carry you from the main Akowonjo road into inner streets and estates for ₦150 to ₦300.
It is risky because transport buses become very scarce, fares double instantly, and areas like Egbeda under-bridge become dark and lonely, attracting local hoodlums (area boys).
