Tap out how how

That's for people using the electronic payment system. You tap your card on the terminal when you enter the bus and you tap it again when exiting the bus.

See the picture below: The former Deputy Governor is "tapping in".

Here in Nigeria, its a manual ticket sales. A lady was selling the tickets at Ojota today. She hands you over a paper ticket that will be checked and marked by "busman" about the point of entry.

In China, there are two modes of payment. Either you swipe a card at entry only or you drop the exact amount in a metal box at entry. Its usually flat rate and no looking for change.

its the same in nigeria, , you use card as well that's why the op made mention of tap out

And don't forget to watch out for the digital boards at the front of the buses to know it's exact stopping point. e.g
Ikorodu-TBS, Ikorodu-Fadeyi, Mile12-CMS e.t.c
come see fight for Agric bus stop this morning

Fortissimo:
Are there new BRT buses now or what? Cos the ones I've seen in recent times are more like molues now.

I guess you saw the pictures the op posted

No tapping out in China. Just swipe your card at the entrance. Charges are flat rate. Besides, I didn't say tapping out is not good. Just talked generally about the two.
#justsaying - They have the swiping in and out system on their metros.

Chazzyboy:
Tap out how how

The new buses and few old ones are equipped with e-ticketing platforms.

So a passenger with "Lagos Connect" card with value of N1000 will tap the card on a machine in the bus upon boarding it and also he is expected to tap out when getting off.

the length of the trip will determine the fare that'll be deducted from the card.

This system offers better choice for passengers as against the flat rate paper tickets being sold at terminals across the state.

Gradually, Lagos is becoming the Dubai of Africa.
The only thing my car does fore these days is just to get me to the bus stop, and from there it's BRT bus to the island. So convenient and fast.
Eko o ni baje o!!'

Please don't call me JJC as I reside in ikorodu

Lovely and conducive

mrlaw93:
Tnks.. bt i ve my own car.

The BRT bus isn't just for those with their own car. Do you have a driver? Do you have AC?

Imagine how it's like when youbare tired and just coming from work.

Let's hope the AC will hr working 6 months later. I remember how the buses on Festac to CMS route used to have AC. But not anymore.

Nice One. Am not sure of the number 2 though. I drove from Enugu to Lagos on 27 of Dec, really tired so I decided to park my car at a friend's place somewhere in Magodo. The following morning I took Keke to Ketu to join the BRT to VI. I bought the ticket that was issued to me electronically few minutes past 7am, but the bus didn't show up on time so I bought another ticket for 120k cos I was in a hurry with the hope that I can use it as return ticket. To my amazement the Ticketer refused to allow me to board cos my ticket has expired. I even asked her to check the time it was issued she refused bluntly. That was around few minutes past two pm same day oooo. My brother the ticket follow me back to the East...uselessly

Tap out how how

In case you are making use of the card.You need to tap it out on your exit from the bus if not the card continues to run.Which means you are being charged until you tap out the card.payments options are through Purchase of N70 ticket Or the use of prepared card.

lol, tapping is an old method of using your bus card, over here in Nigeria, we still use bus tickets but in countries like the UK, far back as 2005, yo actually only need

Tapping might be old but it is better than the UK's method. We use the tapping method in Belgium. A single ticket lasts for an hout, that means you can join another bus with the same ticket instead of buying another ticket

Ok noted, thanks Sir. Too bad I don't ply that route.

You are not JJC. Fadeyi is the last bus stop en route BRT lane. From Fadeyi the BRT takes an over head bridge which directly leads to stadium and which is totally off your route.

Byeee

gameboy727:
Do we have buses with such features here in Nigeria? If not how e take help us now?

Abeg which village u de live

ify2016:
Most times,the rate at which some passengers behave while boarding BRT buses are so alarming that some go to the extent of sleeping, thereby forgetting when they have gotten to their initial destinations.
Ever since the operation of the fully new air conditioned buses within Lagos metropolitan city began, virtually 99% percent of Lagosians have resorted in patronizing them; maybe due to comfort and subsidized transport fare.
So, because of several complaints by passengers, I have personally made out time to advise people on what do avoid while patronizing this new BRT buses.
1: DON'T JUMP THE QUEUE: Please, no matter how placed in the society you may be, kindly respect yourself and abide by the queue order. Most times when you see a long queue, just wait patiently until it get to your turn. Any attempt by violating this order may lead to your harassment either by the long awaited passengers or security guards. Just humble yourself and vamoose from the area because you won't believe how much insult you will receive.
2: DON'T BUY TICKET AHEAD OF NEXT DAY: Funny as it may sound, some people most times buy ticket ahead of next day without knowing that it expires 24hrs of purchase. This is to avoid dubious means by few hands in printing tickets that has similar resemblance with the new one. As soon as you purchase your ticket, bear in mind that you can't use it the next day.
3: TRANS LOADING: Many a times passengers complain that why should Busman take them into another bus without proper information. Please, bear in mind that busmen don't apply all rout withing their jurisdictions. If you are told to alight so that you will transfered to the next bus going to Ikorodu for instance, just be patient and allow the Busman to do so. In the absent of bus man action, kindly bring on the attention of security personnel within the premises for easy trans load.
4: DON'T FORGET TO PRESS ALIGHT BUTTON: I know that sometimes air condition bus or car makes someone sleep, but please no matter how weak you may be, just inform anyone next to you to alert you when thet get to certain bus stop. This is to avoid the story that touches the heart. Kindly press the warning bell before the bus stop and press the second time 6 seconds before your final destination.
5: DON'T FORGET YOUR BELONGINGS: Why on earth should some people even forget foodstuff they went to market to buy with their hard earn money. One handsome guy was telling me the other day that he forgot his CPU and the said he forgot his Laptop. Some women even forget hand bag with many things on it. Please, try and keep your belongings like a baby with you to avoid the story that touches the heart. Most of the strong reported lost times have not been found maybe because some criminals near to the victim who may have taken advantage of that situation.
6: DON'T FORGET TO TAP OUT WHEN ALIGHTING: Some people are so careless that immediately they alight they forget to tap out. Please, the card you are using can help you mar you if you are careful. As soon as get you your final destination, just kindly tap out because failure to do so will amount to your balance being withdrawn. I don't know why it is so but as soon as you get your card, don't fail to tap out because you might see your account empty next time.

I believe that,with this little information ,you can enjoy a smooth journey withing Lagos metropolitan city.

for number 6, based on my experience in Dubai, you tap in as you enter and tap out on alighting, else computer reads you as still being in the bus while the bus moves the whole kilometers until your balance is exhausted.

Thanks a lot for the info bro, really appreciated

Tap out how how

Tap In and Out simply means, instead of you buying the printed ticket so as to be able to board the bus to ur destination or returning, U simply use a Card like an ATM card which u already have money or credit on.

There's a small machine inside the Boss which u need to show the card to when boarding(Tap In) U must also do same whilst alighting(Tap Out) failure to do so, ur credit in the card will keep running till it is exhausted!

Do U understand my jagons at all?

...so, itz because of thez blue BRT buses that the Lagos state government hav devised several means to frustrate the people of Ikorodu so as to patronise their buses?


...Since they opened the BRT lanes frm mile12 to ikorodu, they'v barred the Red BRT buses from using it. Getting to mile12, down to tbs, they'v also restricted d former blue buses...

Now, they are carrying out a repaving @ mile12. Instead of them to bring in ready-made paves and install there due to the volume of traffic around there, they brought in the cement mixer truck & barricaded the road that isnt wide enuf... Imagine, boarding red BRT frm Igbogbo it took more than four hours to get to Ikeja. As if itz not enuf, they now altered the traffic light @ ogolonto, making the traffic every evening to extend beyond NNPC & SO filling stations - sometin we neva saw since the road was upgraded. Must we all patronise your buses?
The buses u provided is like 1/10th of what we need....


Whosoeva is responsible for this sh*t is CURSED!
