Plan your journey during off-peak hours (10 AM - 3 PM on weekdays) to significantly reduce travel time and avoid gridlock, especially around Mile 2 and Oshodi.

Always secure your belongings in crowded bus terminals and while in transit. Keep your phone and wallet in front pockets.

Carry smaller denominations (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as bus conductors may not always have change for large notes.

Confirm your destination with the bus conductor before boarding to ensure you're on the correct route.

BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is an alternative from Oshodi to Ikorodu; it might be slightly faster and more structured than regular Danfo, usually with fixed bus stops and prices.
