💡Pro Travel Tips
Traffic Awareness: Traffic on the Lekki-Epe Expressway can be unpredictable, especially during peak hours (6 AM - 9 AM and 4 PM - 8 PM). Plan your travel to avoid these times if possible to reduce journey duration.
Bargaining & Change: While most bus fares are somewhat fixed, always have smaller denominations of Naira (₦200, ₦500 notes) ready. Conductors often claim not to have change for large notes, which can lead to friction.
Security of Belongings: Keep your bags and phones secure and close to you, especially when boarding or alighting, and avoid displaying valuable items conspicuously. Be mindful of pickpockets in crowded areas.
