Always carry small denominations (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares, as conductors often do not have change for large notes.

Avoid peak hours (typically 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM on weekdays) if possible, as traffic can significantly increase your travel time.

Confirm bus fares with the conductor or other passengers before handing over money, as prices can fluctuate based on demand or time of day.

Be mindful of your personal belongings, especially in crowded bus stops and buses.

For a more comfortable but significantly more expensive option, consider ride-hailing services like Uber or Bolt, which offer direct trips but can cost ₦6,000 - ₦9,000+ for this route in.
