**Best Travel Times:** To avoid peak traffic, aim to depart early morning (before 6:30 AM) or mid-morning (after 10:00 AM) and avoid evening rush hours (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM).

**Cash is King:** Always carry sufficient small denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors rarely have change for large notes.

**Confirm Destination & Fare:** Before boarding, always confirm the bus's final destination and the fare with the conductor to avoid misunderstandings.

**Watch Your Belongings:** Keep an eye on your bags and pockets, especially in crowded bus stops and while boarding/alighting.

**Alternative - Ride-Hailing:** For a more comfortable and direct, but significantly pricier, option, consider ride-hailing services like Bolt or Uber. Expect costs from ₦6,000-₦12,000+ depending on surge pricing and traffic.
