💡Pro Travel Tips
**Off-Peak Travel**: To avoid heavy traffic, especially around Obanikoro and into Bariga, try to travel during off-peak hours (10 AM - 3 PM or after 8 PM).
**Cash is King**: Always carry small denominations of Naira (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as bus conductors rarely have change for large notes.
**Confirm Destination**: Before boarding any bus, always confirm with the conductor if they are going to 'Obanikoro' and then 'Bariga' for the second leg, even if the sign says so.
**Alternative: Ride-Hailing**: For comfort and directness, consider services like Bolt or Uber. Expect costs ranging from ₦2,000 - ₦4,500 depending on surge pricing and traffic. This bypasses the need for interchanges.
**Keke Napep for Last Mile**: If your final destination in Bariga is not directly on the main road, a Keke Napep (tricycle) or Okada (motorcycle, if available and permitted on the route) will be necessary from Bariga Market or Ilaje. Fares for Keke are typically ₦150-₦300 for short distances.
