**Early Start:** Depart early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings/early afternoons to significantly reduce travel time by avoiding peak hour traffic.

**Fares:** While fares are relatively fixed, expect slight increases during peak hours, heavy rain, or fuel scarcity. Always have smaller denominations for convenience.

**Security:** Keep your personal belongings secure, especially at major bus terminals like Mile 2 and Oshodi, which are usually bustling.

**Confirm Destination:** Always verify the final destination with the bus conductor before boarding to avoid going off-route, especially during transfers.

**Air Conditioning:** Danfos generally do not have air conditioning; dress lightly and prepare for potentially warm conditions.
