Start your journey early (before 6:00 AM) or late afternoon (after 7:00 PM) to avoid the peak Lagos traffic congestion, especially on the Lekki-Epe Expressway and Third Mainland Bridge.

Always keep small denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500 notes) as conductors often don't have change for large notes.

Be vigilant with your personal belongings, especially at crowded bus stops like Oshodi and CMS/Obalende. Secure your bags and avoid displaying valuables.

Confirm the destination and fare with the conductor or driver before boarding to avoid any disputes later.

Consider purchasing and topping up a Cowry Card for the BRT sections of your journey. It offers convenience and can sometimes be slightly cheaper than cash fares for BRT.
