Always confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way or stopping prematurely.

Be very wary of pickpockets, especially in crowded bus stops like Mile 2 and Alaba. Keep your belongings secure and close.

Have smaller denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors often don't have change for large notes.

Travel during off-peak hours (10 AM - 3 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos traffic and overcrowding.

For clarity, specify 'Yaba Bus Stop' when asking for directions or boarding, as Yaba is a large area.
