Always confirm your destination with the bus conductor before boarding, even if the bus sign indicates your route.

Keep smaller denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) handy for bus fares, as conductors may not always have change for large notes.

Be extra vigilant with your belongings in crowded bus stops like Mile 2 and Oshodi. Keep bags secured and in front of you.

Avoid traveling during peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) if possible, as traffic can significantly extend travel time.

Consider using a ride-hailing app (Bolt/Uber) for parts of the journey if you're carrying heavy luggage or prefer more comfort, but be prepared for significantly higher costs (₦5,000 - ₦12,000+ depending on traffic and surge pricing).
