**Off-Peak Travel:** To avoid the notorious Lagos traffic, especially on the Third Mainland Bridge, aim to travel outside of 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM.

**Exact Change:** Always carry smaller denominations (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors may not always have change for larger notes.

**Confirm Destination:** Before boarding, always confirm the bus destination with the conductor to avoid boarding the wrong vehicle.

**Personal Security:** Keep your valuables secure, especially in crowded bus stops and terminals like Oshodi. Be mindful of your surroundings.

**Lagos Ride/Bolt/Uber Alternatives:** For a more comfortable and direct, albeit pricier, option, ride-hailing services are readily available. Expect fares to be between ₦4000 - ₦7000 depending on traffic and time of day in.
