    Between the fuel scarcity and Bolt charging us the price of an organ for a ride, transportation costs have increased. What do you mean by VI to Lekki Phase 1 is 鈧3k? If you鈥檙e not careful, you鈥檒l spend your entire Detty December budget on transportation alone.  

    Here are eight other ways to move around.

    Collect broom from the association of witches

    For years and years, witches have had their own mode of transportation, and it has been working for them. They jejely use their brooms to fly and get to places. This December, find a witch and ask if they have an extra broom you can borrow. Not sure how much it costs to maintain a witch鈥檚 broom sha.聽

    Choose ferries

    There are quite a few ferry terminals in . Ferries are cheaper and faster because they avoid all the nonsense Lagos traffic. The only thing is they only operate at specific hours and locations with water access.聽

    Beg Otedola for his private jet

    Or any celebrity with a private jet. Ask to follow them when they鈥檙e going out, and maybe they鈥檒l drop you off somewhere close to your destination. You鈥檒l just have to use a parachute to get down.

    Order a dispatch bike and be the package 

    Imagine paying 鈧2k from Ajah to Ikoyi. You can only get that price when you use a dispatch service. This December, find a dispatch service and order a ride to your destination. When the rider arrives, tell them you鈥檙e the package, and they need to find somewhere to squeeze you.聽

    Carpool 

    If your friend owns a car, find a way to carpool as much as possible. Even if they can鈥檛 drop you at your exact location, they鈥檒l sha drop you somewhere close.聽

    Ask an IJGB to pay

    These people earn in foreign currency. 鈧10k on Uber won鈥檛 affect their bank accounts. Spend their money!

    Take danfo buses 

    People don鈥檛 like danfos for many reasons. But the truth is, they鈥檙e cheap. Is there a chance your outfit will be ruined on the bus? Yes. Will heat almost kill you from all the people squeezed into the bus? Yes. But you鈥檒l only spend a fraction of the average December cab fares.

    Stay at home

    At the end of the day, your best bet is to do your detty December at home. Choose peace and a full bank account this holiday.
