Always leave early, especially during weekday rush hours (6 AM - 9 AM and 4 PM - 7 PM), as traffic can significantly extend travel time.

Keep smaller denominations of Naira notes (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors often do not have change for large notes.

Be aware of your surroundings and keep your belongings secure, especially at busy bus stops and terminals.

Confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding to avoid disputes later.

The journey involves crossing the Third Mainland Bridge, which can be prone to heavy congestion during peak times.
