Compiling Route Details...
Moving from the Obalende transport hub on Lagos Island to the Lagos State University (LASU) main campus in Ojo is a long cross-city journey. The trip cuts across the lagoon from the island to the mainland, using major expressways that are highly prone to heavy traffic jams. Commuters can choose between standard yellow commercial buses (Danfo), connecting via the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lanes, or using private ride-hailing cars. Due to recent fuel subsidy adjustments and transport fare inflation across Lagos, prices can fluctuate widely based on the exact time of day, rain, and vehicle availability.
Distance
42.0 km
Duration
2h 10m
Showing the primary/fastest route plan
Walk to the Obalende under-bridge motor park and board a straight Danfo heading to Mile 2, or take a shorter drop to Costain first if straight buses are scarce.
Drop at the Mile 2 bus stop, cross the pedestrian bridge safely to the Badagry Expressway face, and look for a Danfo going straight to Iyana Iba or LASU gate.
Board the bus and stay on it past Maza Maza, Agboju, and Alakija, then alert the conductor that you will drop off at the LASU front gate under-bridge.
Step out of the bus at the LASU gate stop, cross the side road carefully, and enter the school compound or take a short Keke if your faculty is deep inside.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the worst of the morning rush hour, it is best to leave Obalende between 5:30 AM and 6:30 AM. For afternoon or off-peak travel, moving between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM will save you hours of sitting in standstill traffic.
Safety Rating
Medium - You must remain highly alert, keep your phone and wallet safe from pickpockets at busy garages like Obalende and Mile 2, and strictly avoid boarding unmarked vehicles ('One-Chance' scams).
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, BRT buses operate along major segments of this corridor, particularly from Mile 2 down to Okokomaiko along the Badagry Expressway. The Lagos Blue Line Rail is also operational from Marina (close to Obalende) to Mile 2, providing a massive advantage to bypass highway gridlock.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
