**Bargain Savvy:** While Danfo fares are usually fixed for a route, always confirm the price with the conductor ('how much to X?') before boarding, especially if you're unsure or it's late.
**Pickpocket Alert:** In crowded buses and bus stops, keep your bags secured in front of you and be mindful of your pockets. Avoid displaying expensive gadgets.
**No Exact Change, No Ride:** Conductors appreciate exact change. Try to break larger notes beforehand, as they might not have change, or it could lead to arguments.

❓Route FAQ
What's the best time to travel from Lekki Phase 2 to Ojuelegba to avoid traffic?
Early mornings before 6 AM or late evenings after 8 PM are generally best to avoid the worst of Lagos traffic. Mid-day (11 AM - 2 PM) can also be less congested, though not guaranteed. Peak hours (6-9 AM and 4-7 PM) will significantly extend your travel time.
Is it safe for a foreigner or first-timer to use public transport on this route?
Yes, it is generally safe, but common sense and street smarts are essential. Keep your belongings secure, avoid flashing expensive gadgets, and clearly confirm your destination with the conductor or driver. Sticking to BRT or ride-hailing for longer segments can offer more comfort and predictability.
How much luggage can I carry on a Danfo bus for this route?
Danfos have limited space. Small bags are generally fine to carry on your lap or at your feet. For larger luggage (e.g., suitcases), you might need to pay an extra fare for the space, or you might find it more comfortable and convenient to use ride-hailing services which offer more luggage capacity.
