**Cash is King**: Always have smaller denominations (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as bus conductors rarely have change for large notes.

**Traffic Awareness**: Lagos traffic is notorious. Plan your journey to avoid peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible, especially on the Badagry Expressway and Eko Bridge.

**Identify Your Bus**: Before boarding, confirm the bus destination with the conductor or driver to avoid going in the wrong direction.

**Safety First**: Keep your belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded bus stops.

**Ride-hailing Alternative**: For more comfort and convenience, consider ride-hailing services like Uber or Bolt. However, expect significantly higher costs (₦6,000 - ₦10,000+ for this route in ) and be prepared for potential surge pricing during peak times.

**Last-mile Keke/Taxi**: Once at Marina/CMS, if your exact destination is a bit further off the main bus stop, you can use a short Keke (tricycle) or a local taxi for a brief ride (₦200-₦500).
