Always confirm the destination with the bus conductor ('driver o!' or 'conductor o!') before boarding, even if the bus sign indicates your destination.

Have smaller denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500 notes) readily available, as conductors often claim not to have change.

Travel during off-peak hours (between 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM or after 8:00 PM on weekdays) to significantly reduce travel time and stress due to traffic.

Keep your belongings secure and close to you, especially in crowded buses and bus stops. Pickpocketing can occur.

For a slightly faster but more expensive option, consider using a ride-hailing app (Uber/Bolt) for the first leg to Mile 2, then switch to a Danfo to Oyingbo to balance cost and speed.
