Helpful Guide On How To Choose The Right Bus While Traveling To Aba From Abuja

Abuja to Aba is roughly an 11 hours journey. That’s a lot of time to spend on the road. Basically, you’ll be spending an entire daytime on the road travelling. Long distance journey like this is capable of making anyone cranky. However, to make the journey bearable, here are guides to follow when choosing your travelling bus.

  1. Note The Transport Company’s

various transport companies go to Aba from Abuja. But, their methods and protocols are not the same. Some of these bus companies are poorly managed as such, it equally affects the level of service they deliver to their passengers. 

To avoid whining over poor bus quality and maintenance, consider the company you choose to travel with. Also, note that you’ll have to bear the consequences of travelling with a bus company that offers poor services. So, choose wisely.

  1. Be Aware Of The Driver

Sometimes, it’s not just the bus company; it’s also the bus driver. Some drivers are problematic, and travelling with a driver like that is risky. There are occasions when a driver stinks of alcohol while entering to drive a bus through a long journey. Once you notice things like this, avoid travelling with such a driver. 

  1. Use A Convenient Bus

Other times, it’s not the driver or the company but the comfort of the bus they’ve brought out for the journey. Some bus companies like disposing of their poor quality or poor comfort buses before getting to the comfortable ones as though they’re specially meant for a specific type of people. 

11 hours en route to Aba is a long time to be spent in cramped buses bending your heads and lacking air within the bus. Complain about cramped buses with insufficient leg and headroom and when the company is not doing anything about it, alight and move to a different company. Managing a poor-conditioned bus only leads to 11 hours of resentment travelling. That’s not even to mention that the journey could be longer due to traffic or other circumstances.

  1. The Traveling Route

Nigeria is insecure enough to travel across death routes. There are some routes in the country that every road user already knows is a dangerous path. Ensure the bus company you are following and the driver driving are aware of this and will avoid them.

  1. Know Your Budget

Budget is essential when choosing a bus company to travel with. It’s not lost on anyone that transportation is becoming expensive lately following the cost of fuel and inflation, of course. So, consider your budget first before booking a bus ticket. However, do not sacrifice safety and comfort for a budget.

  1. The Proximity To Destination

Aba has different bus terminals for different companies. So, depending on the company you’re following, their last drop-off will be their terminal. Make sure you follow a company whose terminal brings you closer to your destination. It’s not wise to use a transport company and still pay another exorbitant fee to reach your destination.

  1. Travelling Time

Another thing you should consider when choosing a bus for road travel is the travelling time. For Abuja to Aba road travel that requires staying on the road for roughly 11 hours, most transport companies prefer to start their journey very early or late at night.

Before choosing a bus, determine the travelling time and know if it aligns with you. If you are wary of night travel, avoid it and look for bus companies that leave in the morning but earlier. 

While planning to travel from Abuja to Aba this December, it’s best to avoid night travel. For security reasons, ensure the bus company you choose is leaving Abuja very early so that it doesn’t get too late by the time you arrive at Aba. 

  1. Overall Company Policy

certain bus companies in Nigeria are undermanaged; as such, their policies are not favourable to passengers. Some bus companies will never start a journey until the bus is filled, even though it’s a long journey. Bus companies also begin the journey whether or not the bus is filled.

What differentiates these companies from each other is their policy. Some of them prioritize the safety of their customers and their eagerness to reach their location on time. If you don’t want to sleep on the road, choose a bus company with policies that favour your long-distance journey from Abuja to Aba.

Conclusion

Travelling via road from Abuja to Aba is roughly an 11 hours journey. To make such a long-distance journey bearable, always go for comfortable seating arrangements when choosing commercial buses.
