**Off-Peak Advantage:** Travel during mid-morning (10 AM - 1 PM) or early afternoon (2 PM - 4 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos traffic, especially around Iyana Ipaja.
**Cash is King:** Always carry sufficient cash in smaller denominations (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors may not always have change for large notes.
**Secure Belongings:** Keep your valuables secure and close to you, particularly in crowded bus stops and while boarding/alighting.
