Walk to the main Ketu Bus Stop and board a direct commercial bus (Danfo) going to Oshodi.
Drop at Oshodi Interchange, cross over to the terminal, and enter another Danfo heading to Mile 2.
From Mile 2 Under-bridge, take a straight bus heading towards Okokomaiko or Iyana Iba and tell the conductor you will drop at LASU Gate.
Drop at the LASU Main Gate along the highway.
Always enter with your change (small denominations) to avoid fighting with conductors over 'no change'.
Listen carefully to the conductor when they call destinations so you do not enter a one-way or wrong bus.
Keep your bags zipped and hold your phones tightly when moving through the crowd at Oshodi and Mile 2.
Ask local passengers for current price confirmations before boarding if you suspect the driver is cheating you.

Safety Rating
Medium - Commuters must stay alert, especially at major exchange points like Mile 2 and Oshodi. Keep your phones and wallets secure inside your bags to avoid pickpockets. Avoid moving late at night around the Under-bridge areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, BRT buses are available from Ketu to major hubs like Oshodi or TBS. The Blue Line Rail also operates from Mile 2 down to Marina, which helps if you are coming from the Island, but for this specific mainland route, you will mostly rely on standard BRT lanes and Danfo connections.

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
Ikorodu Road
With the current transport inflation and fuel price hikes, it is safe to hold between ₦5,500 and ₦7,000. This will comfortably cover your going, coming, and any emergency price increments by drivers due to traffic or unexpected rain.
No, you cannot get a single direct Danfo from Ketu to LASU. You must stop at intermediate hubs like Oshodi or Mile 2 to change vehicles. Splitting the journey is the standard way intra-city transport works on this corridor.
The safest time is during broad daylight, specifically between 7:00 AM and 6:30 PM. The Mile 2 area can become isolated and risky for commuters once it gets dark after 8:00 PM due to local hoodlums.
Do not wait until you reach your final destination before asking. Keep reminding the conductor gently but firmly at intervals. It is best to board the bus with smaller currency notes to avoid this issue completely.
