Always confirm current fares with the conductor or driver before boarding, as prices can fluctuate based on time of day, traffic, and demand.
Be mindful of traffic, particularly during morning (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM) and evening (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) rush hours; consider leaving earlier or later.
Keep small denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares, as conductors often do not have change for large notes.
For the final leg from Obalende/CMS to Eko Atlantic, a Keke Napep might be quicker but slightly more expensive per person than a bus, especially if you charter it.
