Always have small denominations of Naira (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares, as conductors may not always have change for larger notes.

Avoid traveling during peak rush hours (6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM on weekdays) to minimize travel time and stress.

Be vigilant with your belongings, especially in crowded bus parks and while boarding/alighting.

Confirm your destination with the bus conductor before boarding, even if the destination board is visible, to avoid misdirection.

Consider using the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) from Mile 2 to Oshodi and then towards Ikeja for a potentially faster and more comfortable experience (requires Cowry Card).
