I saw the vehicle yesterday while coming from ebute ero, the Lagbus driver needs to be prosecuted cos he's driving on a high speed, after all they have the backings of our so called leader.
Hmmm...Eko oni baje o

arthgideon: All these bus drivers are terrible drivers. Putting them together with poorly maintained vehicles is just putting everyone at risk

Is LAGBUS same as BRT Buses? I do not know them or their names as I do not enter any of them. What I have witnessed is at the speed these drivers ply on our roads. The BRT buses run at a speed that I fear to even look at cus it's like one heading for suicide.

I wonder why no one cautions these animals on wheel. Lagos state government do not even care or warn them. The way they speed on that their lane is like one assigned to die at all cost. Why I get confused sometimes is, the commuters themselves, do they even complain to these drivers the way the drive?

Wonders shall never end

Sometimes, I feel some of this mess can be avoided with a little after thought: 'what if the brakes fail...?' This is a machine people...but will some crazy driver believe?

Technically, were the buses parked in LASG approved parking places. They may be unable to claim any damages due to this and I see it happening.

I hope they all have insurance because those cars are totaled

nerodenero: Gbese ni yi o fun awa'ko . I pray Francis survives this accident,amen

Trust Fashola / LAGBUS mgt, they will definitely arrange for another replacement for the man, just relax your own don better.

The owner of the Volvo car, Saka Owoyale, a father of eight, said he was shocked to see the car he drove this morning crushed.

“I have been driving this car for the past four years and I always park my car under the bridge but I was shocked when I was called that a LAGBUS has destroyed my car. I ran to see the damage but it was beyond repair. I will report the incident at the Ebute-Ero police station and I will ensure that the LAGBUS management buy another car for me,” he said

I hope the car is insured.

I also hope and pray that Francis survives

All I can say is .....ETT (end time tinz)

I don't knw wot wrong wit those LAGBUS drivers. They ar so rough just lyk Molue drives

I passed by this accident yesterday
While I was not there when it happened, I'm sure it was caused by the driver's recklessness going by how this LAMATA/LAGBUS drivers navigate Lagos roads

[color=#006600][/color]this is not d best time 2 start apportioning blame, as no sensible drive will want 2 kil or destroy is boss vechicle.am not trying 2 side d driver but we should just thank GOD no life was lost.as 4 d damages insurance shd step in

Francis? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Some people no dey hear word. Them go systematically, accidentally, mistakenly, wipe una from that town.

Fashola are you using the mot services to collect money for tinubu or what because if your own state buses are not MOTEd then you are not doing your job very well sir enough respect.

deeptesting: 1. The Drivers of these Lag buses are very reckless and have no regards for other road users, you hear people saying stewpidly that it is Fashola bus and so fu**cking what?
2.The brakes failed showing that the bus lacks proper maintenance.

I hope all the passengers on board at the time of the accident can sue the Lagos State Govt. for putting their life in harms way......

break failure means wat?
Wat a shallow thinker!

Most of those drivers of lagbus are very reckless, rough and gave no regard to state traffic laws. Most of them are probably drawn from NURTW, i mean agbero union.

3ace: Although LAGBUS currently lacks good maintenance culture, that might not be the reason for the brake failure. Sudden brake
failure in well maintained cars is possible too. The only blame I may apportion to the driver is that he probably must have been feeling the symptoms but still decided to take the risk although there may not be warning signs in some cases. Brakes operate on a hydraulic system; for the system to work effectively there must be fluid in the hydraulic pipes. If the fluid
starts to leak from the system the brake
pedal will feel 'softer' and will often travel
further when pressed. Only God knows whether there were initial signs in this case or it just happened suddenly.

That is why i don't fully agree with proponents of compulsory and physical presense in data capturing introduced by the Lagos State Government as a way of reducing accidents on our road. They advocates that accidents happens too frequently as a result of no genuine driving training. You rightly mention mechanical failure. What about our road condition? Fatigue, IMPATIENCE and the grandfather and great grandmother of all errors and of course accidents: Human Frailty?
these are major causes of accidents.
Or do we take it that the driver in question does not possess the ORIGINAL Driver's Licence and the Proof of Institute compulsorily introduced by Lagos State?

I think in this wise, the driver might have negotiated that bend slightly on a high speed. That could have been the reason he struggled with the Bus before it eventually crashed.
Thank GOD no life was involved.

I think there is a need for power holding should be privatize

Breaks in such big buses dont operate on a hydrulic whatever. it operates on air system. Now, if the compressor of the bus begins to malfunction, then their could be a problem with the break. You talk about hydrulic when you want to talk about clutch system in some heavy duty vehicle

may d lord bring back the days when we were in lag buses and our hearts were all relaxed cos of their safety.

Sometimes we prayed that the journey lasted more hours because in our hearts, we blessed the drivers who seemed to have been messiahs of some sorts and a relief from the madness associated with public transport.

Now we cant wait to leave the buses. While a given journey becomes longer in time, we plead the blood whenever the drivers steps on the gas. We confess our sins when the drivers match the brakes. Those in that bus involved in that accident must have thought it was rapture when that unfortunate thing happened. Pathetic!

The driver don buy market. It was better he took took to his heels immediately. THE LAGBUS COULD ALSO BE FAULTY AT THAT TIME

#Driver... They always flee
