5 Tips for Sharing Better Routes
Want to become a trusted route reporter on Along? Follow these tips.
1. Be Specific
Include exact locations, landmarks, and stop names. Instead of "Lagos to Ikeja", try "Mushin to Ikeja via Oshodi".
2. Include Fare Information
Fares change frequently. Always include the current fare in at least one step. This is one of the most valuable pieces of information for other commuters.
3. Add Photos
A picture is worth a thousand words. Photos of bus stops, landmarks, and routes help others verify your information.
4. Tag Your Routes
Use relevant tags like "lagos", "oshodi", "keke", or "danfo" to help others discover your posts.
5. Keep It Fresh
Route conditions change. If you take the same route regularly, post updates when fares change or when there's new construction.
