Always carry sufficient cash, preferably in smaller denominations (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors often lack change.

Avoid traveling during peak hours (6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM) to minimize severe traffic congestion and potentially higher 'surge' fares from conductors.

Confirm your exact destination with the bus conductor before boarding, especially at interchange points, to ensure the bus is going your way.

Keep your personal belongings secure, holding bags close to you, and be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded bus stops.
