**Travel Time:** Avoid peak hours (6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM) to minimize travel time due to heavy traffic on the Ikorodu road axis.

**Cash is King:** Always carry smaller denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as many bus conductors may not have change for large notes.

**BRT Alternative:** For a potentially more comfortable ride, consider taking a BRT bus from Ojota or Ketu to Ikorodu. You'd first take a Danfo from Anthony to Ojota/Ketu (₦300-₦500), then board the BRT (₦800-₦1100, requires a BRT card).

**Safety First:** Be vigilant in crowded bus stops like Mile 12. Keep your belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings to avoid pickpockets.

**Confirm Destination:** Always confirm the bus's final destination with the conductor or driver before boarding, especially at major interchanges like Mile 12.
