Getting to the Terminal: From Kaltungo, take a local taxi or 'Keke' (tricycle) to the nearest major motor park in Gombe. Look for reputable companies like Gombe Line, GUO Transport, or Peace Mass Transit. These parks are usually located centrally in Gombe town.

Booking and Departure: Book your ticket at the counter. Aim for an early morning departure (5 AM - 6 AM). Buses are typically large, air-conditioned coaches (luxury buses). Confirm your luggage is safely loaded.

Journey Part 1 (Gombe to Makurdi): The bus will depart Gombe, heading south-east. You'll travel on A345 towards Yola, then join A4 through Jalingo and Wukari, before connecting to A344 towards Katsina-Ala and Gboko, eventually reaching Makurdi. Expect varying road conditions and security checkpoints. There will be rest stops in major towns like Jalingo or Makurdi for refreshments.

Journey Part 2 (Makurdi to Onitsha): From Makurdi, the bus continues on A3 through Otukpo, then towards Enugu. After Enugu, you'll join the A232-1/A232 (Enugu-Onitsha Expressway) directly to Onitsha. This section is generally better but can have heavy traffic near Enugu and Onitsha.

Arrival in Onitsha: The bus will terminate at the company's designated park, most commonly at Upper Iweka. Collect your luggage promptly.

Local Transit in Onitsha: From Upper Iweka, you can easily find local 'Keke' (tricycles), 'Okada' (motorcycles - check local restrictions), or taxis to your final destination within Onitsha or surrounding areas.
