Always confirm your destination with the bus conductor before boarding to avoid going in the wrong direction.

It's advisable to have exact or near-exact change for bus fares, as conductors sometimes claim not to have change for large denominations.

Lagos traffic is notorious; allocate significant extra time, especially during peak hours (6 AM - 9 AM and 4 PM - 7 PM).

Keep your valuables secure and out of sight, particularly in crowded bus stops like Oshodi and Oyingbo.

Be aware of your surroundings and avoid distractions like excessive phone use in crowded areas.
