Nigeria’s Bayelsa state government has injected 300 ‘ restoration city cabs’ to replace motor cycles as a means of transportation in the capital of Yenagoa.[url]http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2012/09/01/bayelsa-injects-taxis-to-replace-motor-cycles/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+PmNewsNigeria+%28PM+News+Nigeria%29&utm_content=FaceBook[/url].............. this is a tough time for most bayelsa residents cos there are some areas that cars cant easily access. moreover am yet to see the newly purchased taxi on the road. i heard its distributed to top politicians and civil servants 2 Likes |

By now bayesans wil regret voting Dickson,dey are some areas that can only b assessable with okadas. 300 taxis is too small n it can solve d transport problem I served in Bayesa and I knw hw dey wil feel by now,anyway I pity dos ABOKI riding d okadas. |

Able govnor, while I will be commending you for this feat, I'll also want to draw ur attention to d fact that yenagoa is a very small metropolis frm Igbogene down to Swali, you've got a very small land mass, you can fix d roads and all d streets and corridors leading to all d houses in the state, with good asphalt or interlocking stones and nice drainage system too, you can do that with minimal stress, thats what you owe d pple of the state. After you've done that, d banning of okada will make meaningful sense. Otherwise the 300 keke napep and taxis no go even affect d price of garri in swali market. 1 Like |

thanks moderator for taking this to the homepage......... i can see a handfull of those new taxis operating already.... but 300 taxis and tricycles wouldnt still be enough, cos most people were stranded on the road today . i wonder what will happen on monday.... note... the amount of okada that use to operate in yenagoa b4 is more than 3000.. |

Dickson should see to it that those cars are made to serve the purpose for which they have been bought |

But why are people so hard on Nairaland. Oga Seun stopped the use of "garri price" today yet some dude and babes are still using it. Im just wondering if their stubbornness would reduce d cost of g***i in Bayelsa main market. 2 Likes |

@Post I hope they can maintain them because we lack a maintenance culture in Nigeria. The cabs that El-rufai introduced in Abuja back then are now almost all packed up. I hope these cabs in Bayelsa don't end up the same way. |

Well, from the much I know, most of the cars are yet to be given out. They are still parked at the premises of the Ministry of Transport. IMHO, by the time most of them are released the price of ga**i in Swali market will most definitely come down. Like a poster observed above, the best thing for Gov Dickson to do would have been to try & create new roads from Igbogene to Elebele, Azikoro, Swali & Down Yenagoa. This will take off the pressure on the Melford Okilo (Mbiama-Yenagoa) Road as well as provide enough alternative routes for motorists and lay the background for a vibrant transport industry in the state capital. If Gov. Dickson has his own laptop team on Nairaland, let them take the clue and pass on the message, not the Virus. 1 Like |
