**Early Departure is Key:** To beat the notorious Lagos traffic, especially on the Mile 2-Island and Lekki-Epe expressway corridors, aim to leave Amuwo Odofin by 5:30 AM at the latest.

**Validate Bus Route:** Always confirm the bus destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid going in the wrong direction.

**Protect Valuables:** Keep your phone, wallet, and other valuables secure and out of sight, especially in crowded bus stops.

**Factor in Delays:** Lagos traffic is unpredictable. Always add an extra hour or two to your estimated travel time, particularly during rush hours (morning and evening).

**Carry Small Denominations:** While digital payments are growing, commercial bus conductors still prefer cash, and often don't have change for large notes. Carry ₦100, ₦200, ₦500 notes.

**Alternative Last-Mile:** Upon reaching Ajah Roundabout, if your final destination is further in, you might need to take a Keke Napep (tricycle) or a local taxi (often referred to as 'micra' or 'kabukabu') for the last leg. These costs are not included in the 'Danfo' total above.
