Moving from Lagos State University (LASU) in Ojo to Anthony involves crossing from the Badagry corridor over to the central mainland axis. Because of heavy traffic around major junctions, your travel time can change a lot depending on the hour. This guide breaks down the safest, most affordable, and fastest ways to make this journey using local buses and private options.
Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
To beat the worst traffic, leave LASU before 6:00 AM for morning trips. For afternoon or evening trips, travel between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Avoid moving between 4:30 PM and 8:30 PM if you do not want to sit in serious gridlock.

Walk out of the LASU main gate and board a short-distance danfo or take a keke to Iyana-Iba junction.
At Iyana-Iba, look for a big yellow bus (Danfo) going straight to Mile 2. Drop at Mile 2 under-bridge.
From Mile 2, cross the pedestrian bridge and board another danfo going to Oshodi. Drop at Oshodi Under-bridge or Oshodi Oke.
At Oshodi, enter a final danfo heading towards Ojota or Mile 12, and tell the conductor you will drop at Anthony bus stop.
Always hold 'change' (small naira notes) to avoid fights with the danfo conductor.
Listen carefully to the conductor so you do not miss Anthony bus stop, as buses move fast after leaving Oshodi.
Keep your bags zipped and hold your phone tightly when moving through Mile 2 and Oshodi spaces.
If you see people rushing a bus aggressively, wait for the next one to avoid pickpockets.

Safety Rating
Medium - Be very careful at major interchange points like Iyana-Iba, Mile 2, and Oshodi, especially early in the morning or late at night. Keep your phone and wallet safe from pickpockets (one-chance operators and area boys) who crowd around bus doors.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, partial availability. You can use the Lagos Blue Line Rail from Mile 2 to National Theatre/Marina if you are going south, but for Anthony, you will mostly rely on the BRT buses running along the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway and the Ikorodu Road corridor.

With current fuel prices, it is best to have at least ₦3,500 cash for a round trip if you are using standard danfo buses. Keep extra cash in case of sudden rain or afternoon price hikes.
No, you cannot find a direct danfo from LASU to Anthony. You must stop and change buses at least once or twice, usually at Mile 2 or Oshodi.
The safest window is between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM when the streets are bright and very busy with regular workers and security personnel.
No, you can only use your Cowry Card on the official BRT buses (like the one from Oshodi to Anthony). Regular yellow danfo buses only accept physical naira cash.
