Abuja Ban On Minibuses Starts Today by Nobody: 7:27am On Jun 03, 2013 |
The implementation of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) new transport policy will take effect today with the introduction of high capacity bus operation in Abuja city centre to replace mini buses, which are now restricted to the satellite towns and area councils in the territory. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/abuja-minibus-ban-takes-effect-today/149249/ |

Re: Abuja Ban On Minibuses Starts Today by talktrue1(m): 9:25am On Jun 03, 2013 |
Stopping these buses will increase frustration and suffering on low class people People that will find it difficult includes: people that used to go to work as early as 5.00am or close work by 10pm If your office not along the major routes People who are in a hurry to meet up an appointment Traders at Wuse mkt, etc 2 Likes |

Re: Abuja Ban On Minibuses Starts Today by uboma(m): 9:48am On Jun 03, 2013 |
I foresee untold hardship resulting from the ban of mini busses in Abuja. Look at Lagos for instance, BRT busses are allowed to ply the road along with mini busses. So why ban these mini busses that usually do not take a long time to get filled with passengers? Our Govt lacks focus, always in a hurry to implement policies without considering the pros and cons to the ordinary man on the street. Btw, what happens to the owners of these mini busses? They will be out of jobs... So pathetic! 4 Likes |

Re: Abuja Ban On Minibuses Starts Today by venatus25(m): 10:16am On Jun 03, 2013 |
this is another wahala, de government should should stop checking puntuality of his work force in their various agencies. Patronising public transport is the starting point of lateness. Am disappointed in nigeria government, since they do not consider the negative out-come of their greedy policy before the implimentation |
Re: Abuja Ban On Minibuses Starts Today by Nobody: 10:17am On Jun 03, 2013 |
this is more like a crime against humanity, imagine both old n young pple waitin endlessly for a bus for hours, and when it comes,everybdy is just strugglin,serzly wt.f! is wrong with dz govt?? thier is poverty everywea n all they cud come up with is dz bulshit?? God will surely reward each n everyone of u pigs! |

Obasanjo once said that abuja isnt meant for the masses..i think the statements is true with this new development..obasanjo with the aid of 1 mallam started the destruction of houses then,now,it is the turn of ebele and another mallam to restrict the movement of these poor masses by this policy..al thesame,GOD bles nigeria,GOD bles the masses |
Re: Abuja Ban On Minibuses Starts Today by makaveli1(m): 10:30am On Jun 03, 2013 |
All i can say is that some people's means of livelihood has been snatched from them with the introduction of this new policy. Either way its a welcome development but the question is how will the thousands of people that have been dispossessed of their means of income make ends meet?. well some will ultimately live abuja because starting all over again in abuja is not a walk in the park... This again points to the widely held belief that Abuja isn't meant for the poor... well, God will surely make a way. |

profola2be: Have you EVER seen me call the Lagos State Governor names? Actually, I think the Lagos State Governor has revolutionised transport in the state and I want the same for Abuja. The main reason Abuja lost the hosting rights to the 2014 Commonwealth Games was because of poor transport infrastructure (especially lack of a railway system). I want that to change. In Lagos they've introduced or are introducing BRT, LRT, LCCT, Eko Water Buses, etc. I want the same for Abuja. 1 Like |

I have never used buses on any Africa city for more than 7 years now so I cant tell if this is a good or bad move. One thing I want to know when are they gonna complete the Abuja Light Rail Project? |

Ricky_Ross: I have never used buses on any Africa city for more than 7 years now so I cant tell if this is a good or bad move. Very good point and that should be the focus; completing the rail project. |

Ricky_Ross: I have never used buses on any Africa city for more than 7 years now so I cant tell if this is a good or bad move. Who cares if you haven't boarded a bus for more than 7 years? Learn to sympathize with the ordinary man on the street who relies on these busses for mobility. Am sure u turned a blind eye to the comments of people on this thread who are already suffering from this anti masses policy of the govt. You are no more different from the govt because they too like you do not board busses like the ordinary man on the street do. 3 Likes |
