**Avoid Peak Hours:** Travel outside of 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM on weekdays to significantly reduce travel time.

**Confirm Fare:** Always confirm the fare with the bus conductor before boarding, as prices can fluctuate based on traffic, fuel costs, and time of day.

**Hold Your Belongings:** Keep your valuables secure and be aware of your surroundings, especially at busy bus stops like Oshodi and Obalende.

**Carry Smaller Denominations:** Conductors often prefer exact change or smaller notes. It's advisable to have ₦100, ₦200, and ₦500 notes.

**Alternative - BRT:** While not a direct Danfo route, consider taking a BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) from Oshodi to CMS/Obalende for a more structured and often faster experience if available, though it requires a Cowry card.

**Stay Alert at Oshodi:** Oshodi is a massive hub. Pay attention to bus signs and ask reliable-looking people (e.g., other passengers, market women) for directions if unsure.
