💡Pro Travel Tips
**Negotiate Fares Wisely:** For Keke or Okada within Epe, always confirm and negotiate the fare before you start the trip. Fares are often subject to individual bargaining.
**Board from Designated Stops:** For safety and fair pricing, always board danfos from designated bus stops and avoid hailing them from random points on the expressway.
**Carry Small Denominations:** Conductors often have difficulty with large Naira notes. It's best to carry smaller denominations (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for bus fares.
