From The Highland Residence, take a Keke Napep (tricycle) or a short shared taxi ride to the nearest major bus stop on the Kubwa Expressway. A common landmark would be 'Gwarinpa Gate' or 'Berger Bus Stop' on the expressway.
At the Kubwa Expressway bus stop, look for 'along' shared taxis or buses heading towards 'Wuse' or 'Central Area'. These are usually Sienna minivans or Hiace buses. Tell the driver you're going to 'Federal Secretariat' or 'Metro Plaza'.
From Federal Secretariat, Murkhtar El Yakub Place is a short walk or another Keke Napep ride away. It's beside Metro Plaza, which is a well-known landmark.
Always confirm the fare with the driver before boarding to avoid disputes.
For 'along' vehicles, be clear about your destination to ensure they are going your way.
Keep small change handy for Keke Napep and short trips.
'Along' refers to shared taxis or buses that pick up and drop off passengers along a major road or route. They don't have fixed stops like traditional buses but follow a general direction, making it flexible for commuters.
Yes, key bus stops and junctions include 'Gwarinpa Gate', 'Berger Bus Stop' (on Kubwa Expressway), 'Jabi Junction', 'Wuse Market', and 'Federal Secretariat'. These are common points for transferring between different transport stages.
While Abuja is generally safe, it's advisable to avoid public transport late at night, especially unmarked vehicles. If you must travel, use well-lit areas, travel in groups if possible, and rely on known transport services.
To save money, try to use 'along' buses/shared taxis for the longest leg of your journey. Walking short distances instead of taking a Keke Napep can also reduce costs. Avoid 'chartering' a Keke Napep for yourself unless absolutely necessary.
