💡Pro Travel Tips
Always confirm your destination and fare with the bus conductor before handing over cash to avoid disputes.
Be highly vigilant of your belongings, especially at crowded interchanges like Mile 2 and Oshodi, as pickpocketing is common.
Traffic is unpredictable in Lagos. Plan your journey during off-peak hours (very early mornings or late evenings) to potentially reduce travel time.
Carry smaller denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors often claim not to have change for larger notes.
Be prepared for potential delays and discomfort during peak hours due to overcrowding and traffic.
