Always have smaller denominations of Naira (₦50, ₦100, ₦200) for bus fares, as conductors often claim not to have change for larger notes.
Be vigilant with your belongings, especially in crowded bus stops and inside the bus. Keep your phone and wallet secured in front pockets or bags.
Avoid peak hours (7 AM - 9 AM and 4 PM - 7 PM) if possible, as traffic can significantly extend the estimated travel time from 20-30 minutes to over an hour.
