**Peak Hours**: Avoid traveling during morning (6:30 AM - 10:00 AM) and evening (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) peak hours if possible, as traffic can significantly extend travel time and potentially increase fares.

**Cash Only**: Most Danfo buses still primarily operate on cash. Ensure you have smaller denominations (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors may not always have change for large notes.

**Confirm Fare**: Always confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid disputes, especially if prices fluctuate due to traffic or time of day.

**Safety**: Be aware of your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops and while boarding/alighting. Keep your phone and wallet secure.

**Alternative**: Consider using ride-hailing services (e.g., Uber, Bolt) for a more comfortable but significantly more expensive option, especially if traveling in a group.
