**Best Time to Travel:** Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late evenings (after 8 PM) generally have lighter traffic, especially on the Mile 2-CMS and CMS-Ikorodu corridors. Avoid peak hours (7-9 AM and 4-7 PM).

**Cash is King (and Card is Convenient):** Always carry sufficient smaller denominations of Naira for Danfo trips. For BRT, ensure your Cowry Card is loaded, though some terminals might accept cash for ticket purchase.

**Confirm Destination:** Always confirm the bus destination with the conductor before boarding, even if the signage looks correct. For BRT, pay attention to the display on the bus.

**Watch Your Belongings:** Keep your phone, wallet, and other valuables secure, especially in crowded bus stops and buses.

**Patience is Key:** Lagos traffic can be unpredictable. Factor in extra time for your journey, especially during the rainy season or if there are unforeseen incidents.
