**Carry Small Denominations:** Always have sufficient cash in smaller notes (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares, as conductors often do not have change for large bills.

**Confirm Destination:** Explicitly confirm the bus's destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid misdirection.

**Anticipate Traffic:** Expect significant traffic delays during morning peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:30 AM) and evening rush hours (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM). Plan to travel outside these times if possible.

**Secure Valuables:** Keep your personal belongings secure and out of sight, especially in crowded buses and at busy bus stops.

**Bargain Wisely:** If opting for a Keke or shared taxi for the last leg, agree on the fare before starting the trip to prevent overcharging.
