and many people now spend a shocking amount of money just moving around every week.

But smart Nigerians have started finding survival tricks.

Across cities like Ibadan, Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, people now save transport money by:

• Joining shared rides

• Trekking short distances

• Using early morning buses

• Avoiding rush-hour movement

• Combining multiple errands in one trip

Some workers even wake up before sunrise just to avoid transport fare increases later in the day.

Students and traders now also use:

• Keke-sharing

• Staff buses

• Campus shuttles

• Carpool arrangements

because transport can consume a large part of monthly income.

What many Nigerians don’t realize is:

Small daily transport savings become huge over time.

For example:

Saving ₦500 daily can become thousands monthly.

But there are also risks:

• Overcrowded vehicles

• Unsafe night transport

• Fake drivers

• Sudden fuel-related fare increases

That’s why experienced commuters now:

• Keep emergency transport money

• Learn alternative routes

• Monitor fuel price changes

• Avoid unnecessary movement

The shocking truth?

Some people spend more on transportation than feeding.

In today’s Nigeria, moving around cheaply has become a survival skill.
