Carry smaller denominations of Naira for bus fares, as conductors may not always have change for large notes.
Be clear and precise with conductors about your destination to avoid getting off at the wrong stop.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded bus stops and while boarding.
Consider using ride-hailing services (e.g., Bolt, Uber) for segments like Abule Egba to Oshodi or the final leg within Ibeju-Lekki if comfort and speed are prioritized over cost, but expect significantly higher fares.
