3. Keep Valuables Secure: Always keep your bags and personal items in a safe place, preferably on your lap or where you can see them. Avoid displaying expensive gadgets openly.
4. Stay Aware of Your Surroundings: Be observant of other passengers and your environment. If something feels off, trust your instinct.
5. Have Small Denominations: It's helpful to have smaller naira notes for transport fares, as drivers might not always have change for large denominations.
6. Use Reputable Transport: Opt for commercial buses from established parks or ride-hailing services if available to your destination. For local trips within Epe to Iraye, Keke Napeps and Okadas are common, but ensure the Okada rider is safe and drives responsibly.
7. Charge Your Phone: Ensure your phone is fully charged before you leave, in case you need to make calls, use maps, or for emergencies.
8. Ask for Directions: Don't hesitate to ask locals for directions once you are in Epe town. Most Nigerians are friendly and willing to help.
