Travel very early in the morning (before 6:30 AM) or late in the evening (after 7:00 PM) to avoid the worst of peak hour traffic, especially on the Third Mainland Bridge.

Always confirm your destination with the bus conductor ('agbero') before boarding, particularly at major bus parks where multiple routes converge.

Carry smaller denominations of Naira (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500 notes) as conductors rarely have change for large notes.

Be vigilant about your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops and while inside the bus. Keep phones and wallets secure.
