💡Pro Travel Tips
Always confirm your destination with the conductor or driver before boarding, especially at major hubs like Mile 2 and Ojota, to avoid misdirection.
Keep smaller denominations (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares, as conductors may not always have change for larger notes.
Avoid peak traffic hours (6:00 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible, as travel time and fares can significantly increase due to congestion.
Be mindful of your belongings in crowded buses and bus stops; keep valuables secure and out of sight.
Consider using ride-hailing apps like Bolt or Uber for the final leg from Ketu to Ikosi for added convenience and comfort, though this will be pricier (₦1000 - ₦2500+ depending on demand).
