Travel during off-peak hours (10 AM - 3 PM) to avoid severe traffic congestion along the Lekki-Epe Expressway and the Third Mainland Bridge, and potentially find slightly lower fares.

Always have small denominations of Naira (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as bus conductors rarely give change for large notes.

Confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding, even if the bus sign indicates your route. Routes can sometimes vary.

Watch your belongings, especially phones and wallets, in crowded buses and bus stops. Pickpocketing can occur.

While Danfo fares are generally fixed, 'Keke Marwa' fares might be negotiable, especially if you're not at a designated park.

If time is critical and budget permits, consider using ride-hailing apps like Bolt or Uber for portions of the journey, though a full trip will be significantly more expensive.
