💡Pro Travel Tips
**Best Time to Travel:** Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid peak traffic from Abule Egba to Oshodi, and also on the Lekki-Epe axis.
**Traffic Awareness:** The journey is highly susceptible to Lagos traffic, especially on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway and the Lekki-Epe Expressway. Factor in extra time.
**BRT Preference:** Where available (e.g., Oshodi to CMS), opt for BRT buses. They offer more comfort, are often faster due to dedicated lanes, and have fixed fares.
**Fare Negotiation (Danfo):** For regular Danfo, confirm fares before boarding, especially during rush hours. BRT fares are usually fixed and paid with a travel card or token.
**Safety:** Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded bus stops and during boarding/alighting. Avoid displaying valuables openly.
