💡Pro Travel Tips
**Best Time to Travel**: Depart early in the morning (6:00 AM - 8:00 AM) to avoid the heaviest traffic, especially around the Ajah/Sangotedo axis. Afternoons can also be challenging.
**Bargain Savvy**: While bus fares are usually fixed, especially on established routes, always confirm the fare before boarding to avoid misunderstandings.
**Safety First**: Choose buses that appear well-maintained and are full of passengers. Keep your valuables secure and out of sight.
**Comfort**: Buses can get crowded. If you prefer more space, consider waiting for a less packed vehicle, though this might mean a slightly higher fare during peak times.
**Alternative (More Expensive)**: For a private and more comfortable option, consider booking an Uber or Bolt. This would cost between ₦15,000 - ₦25,000 in, depending on the time of day and surge pricing.
