**Avoid Peak Hours:** Travel early in the morning (before 6 AM) or late in the day (after 7 PM) to minimize time spent in Lagos traffic, especially on the Lekki-Epe and Ikorodu roads.

**Cash is King:** Always carry sufficient physical cash (in smaller denominations) as digital payment options are rarely available on commercial buses.

**Confirm Fares:** Always confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding, as prices can fluctuate based on time of day, demand, and fuel costs.

**Watch Your Belongings:** Keep an eye on your bags and valuables, especially in crowded bus stops and while boarding/alighting.

**Consider BRT for a Leg:** While this guide focuses on Danfo, consider using BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) from CMS/TBS to Ojota for a potentially faster and more comfortable ride on that specific leg. BRT fares are usually fixed and slightly lower.
