Traffic is a major factor, especially during peak hours (6-9 AM, 4-8 PM). Factor in at least 30-60 minutes of extra time.

Always confirm your destination with the bus conductor before boarding to avoid misdirection, especially for less common routes.

Keep your money in smaller denominations (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for easier transactions and to avoid issues with change.

Be aware of your surroundings and keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded bus stops like Oshodi and Ojuelegba.
