Always have small denominations (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500 notes) for bus fares, as conductors may not always have change.

Avoid peak hours (6 AM-9 AM and 4 PM-7 PM) if possible, as traffic from Alaba to Obalende can be severe, significantly increasing travel time.

Keep your valuables secure and be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded bus stops and while boarding/alighting.

Always confirm your destination with the bus conductor before boarding to ensure you're on the correct route and to clarify the fare.

The journey involves multiple stops and possibly waiting times, so factor in extra time beyond the estimated duration.
