💡Pro Travel Tips
Start your journey early in the morning (ideally before 6:00 AM) to avoid the worst of Lagos traffic, especially on the Island stretch to Ajah.
Keep small denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares as conductors may not always have change.
Be highly mindful of your belongings in crowded bus stops and while boarding/alighting.
Consider purchasing a Lagos BRT card for easier and often slightly cheaper BRT travel between Oshodi and CMS, avoiding queues.
Always confirm the bus's final destination with the conductor before boarding to ensure you're on the right route.
