How much is a bus ticket from Warri to Calabar?
Fares on this corridor currently run between ₦23,000 and ₦23,000. The spread is not arbitrary — it tracks vehicle class far more closely than it tracks operator. A seat on a 14-seat Hiace and a seat on a luxury coach are different products sold on the same road, and the gap between them is usually larger than the gap between two operators selling the same class.
