❓Route FAQ
What's the best time to travel to avoid traffic?
To significantly avoid traffic, it's best to travel very early in the morning (before 6:30 AM) or late in the evening (after 8 PM). Mid-day (11 AM - 2 PM) can also be relatively less congested than typical rush hours.

Generally, traveling by Danfo is safe. However, always be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded terminals, and keep your valuables secure. Avoid traveling on secluded routes or very late at night with commercial buses.
Can I pay for bus fares with a card?
Most commercial Danfo buses still predominantly operate on a cash-only basis. While some major terminals (like the Oshodi Transport Interchange) may have PoS options or encourage cashless payments via state-issued Cowry cards, it's advisable to carry sufficient cash for Danfo trips.
Are there direct BRT buses from Abule Egba to Yaba?
