💡Pro Travel Tips
Always keep smaller denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) ready, as conductors rarely have change for large notes, especially on commercial buses.
Be vocal and clear about your destination with the conductor. Don't hesitate to ask if the bus is going to your specific 'drop-off' point (e.g., 'Orile, Ajegunle, Boundary').
During peak traffic hours (6 AM - 9 AM and 4 PM - 8 PM), especially on weekdays, allow significantly more travel time as the bridges and major expressways become heavily congested.
