Moving from Volkswagen (Volks) Bus Stop to the Lagos State University (LASU) Main Gate in Ojo is a very straightforward journey. Since both points are relatively close along the same general axis in Ojo, you do not need a long distance trip, but you must navigate the busy Lagos-Badagry Expressway and the ever-busy LASU-Iba Road. Commuters can choose between local commercial buses (Danfo), tricycles (Keke Marwa), or ride-hailing apps, depending on their budget and how much comfort they want.
Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
To beat the heavy morning rush of students and workers, travel between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Morning peak hours (7:00 AM - 9:30 AM) and evening return hours (4:30 PM - 7:30 PM) experience heavy gridlock, especially around the Iyana Iba market area.

Stand at the Volkswagen Bus Stop along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway and flag down a yellow commercial bus (Danfo) heading towards Iyana Iba or Mile 2.
Stay on the bus as it moves down the expressway and drop off at the busy Iyana Iba Bus Stop.
Walk towards the LASU-Iba road axis under the bridge and board another short-distance Danfo heading towards Iba, Igando, or Ikotun.
Tell the conductor you will drop at LASU Gate. Alight safely directly in front of the school university entrance.
Always enter the bus with 'change' (smaller denominations like ₦100 and ₦200 notes) to avoid messy fights with the conductor.
Keep your phones and wallets secure inside your bags when walking through the heavy crowd at Iyana Iba.
Listen carefully to the conductor; confirm the bus is passing the 'LASU Front Gate' before you enter.
During heavy traffic, you can drop at the under-bridge and walk to the school gate if you are in a hurry; it is a 10 to 15-minute walk.

Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally safe during daytime because it is always crowded with students and traders. However, pickpocketing is very common at Iyana Iba and Under-bridge. Avoid moving here late at night (past 9:00 PM) as one-chance buses and phone snatchers operate around dark spots near the highway.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT lane or functional Lagos Rail Mass Transit (Blue Line) station connecting Volkswagen directly to the LASU Gate. The Blue Line rail currently stops at Mile 2, so you must rely on standard Danfo buses, Keke Marwa, or private vehicles for this specific stretch.

Areas Affected
Lagos-Badagry Expressway
Direct buses from Volkswagen straight to the LASU gate are very rare. Most commercial Danfo buses and Kekes operate in short zones, meaning they stop at Iyana Iba first. You will almost always need to drop at Iyana Iba and take a second short ride to the school gate.
Due to fuel price inflation, the total cost by public transport ranges from ₦700 to ₦1,200 depending on whether you use Danfo or Keke. If you travel during heavy rainy days or peak rush hours, the price can climb up to ₦1,500.
Yes, from 6:30 AM upward, the road is safe because students, lecturers, and traders are already moving. However, if you are moving earlier than 6:00 AM, be extremely vigilant at Volkswagen and Iyana Iba bus stops as area boys and phone snatchers target solo commuters in the dark.
If traffic freezes completely at Iyana Iba or the Under-bridge, the smartest option is to 'drop' from the vehicle, cross the road safely on foot, and walk down to the LASU gate. It is a straight walk and will save you from sitting in a hot bus for an hour.
