💡Pro Travel Tips
Always carry small denominations (₦50, ₦100, ₦200 notes) as conductors rarely have change for large bills, especially for shorter trips.
During peak hours (6-9 AM, 4-7 PM), expect longer wait times at bus stops and higher fares, often referred to as 'rush hour' prices by conductors.
Confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid miscommunication, even if the bus sign seems clear.
