💡Pro Travel Tips
Always confirm your destination with the bus conductor before boarding, especially at busy interchanges like Mile 2 and Oshodi.
To minimize travel time, try to travel outside of peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM on weekdays).
Keep smaller denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) ready, as conductors may not always have change for larger notes.
Be vigilant of your personal belongings, particularly in crowded bus stops and while boarding/alighting.
Consider using a ride-hailing service (like Bolt or Uber) for the last leg from Oshodi to Ikeja if convenience and speed are prioritized over cost (fares would be higher, ₦1500-₦3500+).
