The Special Ways We Use In Attracting Passengers – Lagos Female Taxi Drivers Share Their Stories


In a male-dominated transportation business industry, how do female taxi drivers cope especially with the hardship in the economy? The hardworking ladies who ply their trade by driving, share their stories.

Smartly pulling over her Toyota Sienna space bus at a corner of the busy road with the type of precision capable of leaving even the most experienced of drivers drooling with envy that morning, Ronke Opemipo betrayed her tender and beautiful feminine attributes. Beaming with smiles as she exchanged pleasantries with familiar faces around the area, the 35-year-old lady has settled very well into her new terrain since first hitting the place about six months ago.

One of a growing number of female taxi drivers now plying the Ikeja-under-bridge to Shoprite-Alausa-Express route in Lagos, ferrying dozens of passengers daily, Opemipo, through diligence and hard work, has wormed herself into the hearts of many in the capital. Every morning, from as early as 7:00am, the Ondo native hits the axis all the way from Iyana-Ipaja, a densely populated part of the metropolis, where she resides. Moving seven passengers at a time between both ends of her usual route, the single mother endures several energy-sapping hours in traffic, retiring home at about 5:00pm in preparation for another day of work.
