Always confirm your destination and fare with the bus conductor before boarding to avoid disputes.
Keep your belongings secure and close to you, especially in crowded bus stops and buses.
Have smaller denominations of cash (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) readily available, as conductors may not always have change for larger notes.

A 'Keke NAPEP' is a motor-tricycle, commonly used for short-to-medium distance transportation within specific areas. It is not suitable for the full Abule Egba to Lekki journey due to the significant distance and travel on major expressways, but it can be used for last-mile connections within Abule Egba or once you reach Lekki.
While major roads are generally busy and well-lit, it is advisable to complete such a long cross-city journey before nightfall, especially if using public commercial buses. If unavoidable, stick to well-known bus stops and consider using ride-hailing services for added safety and convenience, especially for the final leg of your trip.
