💡Pro Travel Tips
**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.

Yes, it is generally safe to use public transport. However, like any major city, it's crucial to be aware of your surroundings, secure your belongings, and avoid flashing valuables. Travel during daylight hours for optimal safety.
What if I prefer ride-hailing services?
