Avoid rush hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) if possible, as traffic can significantly extend travel time and increase bus fares slightly.

Always confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding, especially if you're unsure. Fares can fluctuate based on time of day and fuel price changes.

Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded bus stops like Mile 2 and Oshodi, as petty theft can occur.

Have smaller denominations of Naira for bus fares, as conductors may not always have change for large notes.

For a quicker trip, consider taking a government-regulated BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) from Mile 2 to Oshodi if available and aligned with your route, though their specific routes may require a short walk to the market.
