**Leave Early:** Start your journey by 5:30 AM-6:00 AM on weekdays to avoid the worst of the morning rush hour. Traffic can easily add hours to your travel time.

**Cash is King:** Always have sufficient small denominations (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500 notes) as bus conductors rarely have change for large bills.

**Confirm Destination & Fare:** Before boarding any Danfo, always confirm the destination with the conductor and the fare to avoid disputes.

**Watch Your Belongings:** Keep your phone, wallet, and other valuables secure and out of sight, especially in crowded bus stops and buses.

**Navigation Apps:** Use apps like Google Maps for real-time traffic updates and alternative route suggestions, though public transport options might not always be fully captured.
