Avoid peak hours (6 AM - 9 AM and 4 PM - 7 PM) if possible, as traffic on the Lekki-Epe Expressway, Third Mainland Bridge, and Apapa-Oshodi Expressway can significantly extend travel time.

Always keep your valuables secure and be aware of your surroundings, especially at crowded bus stops like Oshodi and Mile 2.

Confirm bus fares before boarding, as prices can fluctuate based on time of day, fuel costs, and demand.

Carry smaller denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares, as drivers often don't have change for large notes.

For a more comfortable but significantly more expensive option, consider ride-hailing services like Uber or Bolt, which offer direct trips but could cost between ₦12,000 - ₦25,000+ depending on surge pricing and traffic.
