💡Pro Travel Tips
Always have smaller denominations of Naira (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) ready for bus fares, as conductors frequently claim 'no change'.
Traffic can be unpredictable, especially during peak hours (6-9 AM and 4-7 PM) on the Ipaja-Ikotun road. Factor in extra time or try to travel outside these periods.
Keep your belongings secure and close to you, particularly in crowded bus stops and buses. Avoid displaying valuables openly to deter petty theft.
