Always have small denominations of cash (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as bus conductors rarely have change for large notes.

Avoid peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) if possible, as traffic can significantly increase travel time and fare costs.

Confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid disputes, especially during traffic or early mornings/late nights.

Keep your belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings, particularly in crowded bus stops like Oshodi and Mile 2.

Consider using ride-hailing services (e.g., Bolt, Uber) for specific legs if you prefer more comfort and can afford higher costs, though they are usually more expensive for the entire trip.
