💡Pro Travel Tips
Always have smaller denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500 notes) for bus fares, as conductors often don't have change for larger notes.
Be aware of your surroundings and keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded bus parks like Obalende and Mile 2.
Travel early in the morning (before 6:30 AM) or late in the evening (after 8 PM) to potentially avoid the notorious Lagos traffic, which can significantly extend travel time.
