cockpit of a BRT.
Personally I believe , Fashola the action Governor, failed in The area of Transportation in Lagos state, as one of the main problems confronting Lagosians is the poorly organized transport sector which bring untold hardship on all road users in the state.
Lagos, though a small sized state, is a cosmopolitan city. Most people do not live where they work,therefore, going to work for many involve traveling from one end of the state to another and spending countless hours on the road.
Lagos needs a well organized transport sector comprising Buses trains etc,so with the introdution of BRT by LAMATA in 2007, hopes were raised, however 7yrs down the lane the BRT system has failed

Eko oni bajè

Eko ti baje

Sunnybobo3: Eko oni bajè

if this is true, o ti certain wipe Eko to B'aje

Eko adigo mma!!!!

Is this the BRT APC is shouting about.
This bus is just waiting to catch fire.

Fashola will dump these liabilities along with the debt he has accumulated for the next governor.

APC bunch of jokers.

Nothing just good for dis country

No maintenance culture even with all the revenue the buses generate daily.

Tufiakwaaasssss

I thought Fashola is performing? Why all the Eko ni baje?

Nah real cockpit, Firepit nko?

Remember these buses are not owned by Lagos state government. These buses belong to NURTW. what Lagos is doing is providing the platform which is the dedicated BRT lane.

Its a Nigerian Problem that transcends BRT.

When the Buses were launched, I could immediately have counted off the top of my head over 5 solid reasons why the scheme would fail and go the way of the other schemes of the past..
Like with everything the government does, they never think it through. It’s like someone has an idea and just jumps with it without first brainstorming it to see how it could fail and where the likely sources of problems could come from and developed a process/system that accounts for all these gaps.

Areas where the BRT scheme failed was;

1. Driver recruitment/Training/monitoring process. : I believe that a College of Commercial Driving should be set-up by either the government of the Private sector and all commercial drivers (Both public and private) should be trained there and certified there (both Physically and mentally) before put behind the wheels of any commercial bus. And these BRT Lanes should all have ground Monitoring and CCTV in place to monitor the drivers. There training should include proper Conduct training, Driving proficiency, First Aid and emergency training, etiquette, e.t.c..

The Monitoring team should not just monitor speed and driving, but also compliance like: Dress code (as I believe they should all have Uniforms like the Police with Ranks to tell how long a Driver has been driving and differentiate senior drivers from junior drivers), Conduct and Loading. All Passengers should be seated and the Bus should not move until all passengers are seated and the doors shut. Police or Man-O-War or NSCDC personnel should be deployed at each Bus stop to ensure compliance.

Also, a Point deduction system should be set-up so that any Driver who is involved in an accident automatically loses points and if the accident is found to be the Drivers fault, he can be fired and even charged with a crime or a misdemeanor.

2. Maintenance/Fleet Management:: This one is the one that irks me the most as I didn’t expect the Government in 2014 to purchase such vehicles in Large quantity without a proper "OVM" maintenance/insurance scheme in place to cater to the repairs of the trucks. Pictures such as what the OP put up should never be allowed in our buses if it was being maintained by an authorized dealership mechanic.

3. Route Management/Journey management System.:: For the BRT to be effective, it should be able to guarantee a properly timed and scheduled arrival at each bus stop within a certain time slot.. Example, those who live abroad know that there is a bus time table that tells you exactly when the next set of buses would arrive at each bus stop.. The frequency increases during rush hour and thins out during the off-peak periods.. Also a team that monitors the route for potholes, illegal users and more should have been factored into the planning. The Drivers should also have an assessment/report form that they fill in daily with comments.


And much more.. I think all our government need to start recruiting brain stormers into their governments whose jobs are to poke holes into every new policy with the aim of identifying the weaknesses and lapses in every policy and proffering solutions to these problems.

Almost every state Government transport scheme has never lasted past the first 2 years of its inception before starting to look like the nonsense they were initially trying to get rid of. [/b]
