I hope this is the right section. This question has always bothered me and i hope to find satisfactory answer . For a congested city like lagos, which is more expensive, driving a car or using public transport？

The comfort in your private car and jumping from one dirty yellow bus to another, which one is better?

Bicycles remains the best mode of navigating lagos. Very economical, No air pollution and natural air bettee than car's air-conditioning.

private car is better

Truth is.. .

Economically ==== public transport (Especially BRT/LAGBUS)

comfort ====== Private vehicle

hmmm

if you drive your car there would be traffic congestion
if yoi board a bus there would still be congestion
unless its a flying bus
i love lagos

All of the above

Economic wise public bus. Comfort wise private anytime. If u dont mind d dirt n smell including strange attitudes of lagosians that you will be entering the buses with, Then u are good to go with public transportation in lagos

None

My brother,to be candid with you an owner of a nice EOD here,believe me if I tell you during weekdays yellow buses rules while for weekends my car gets it.

We will have to discuss from the angle of your income and expenditure.
Then your status and kind of job.

The Last one is your own mindset or thought partern.

The comfort and having control over your routes makes life easier.

Economical or not...I take the comfort nature of personal vehicle over hustling "Molue" especially in a place like Lagos...

buying a flying carpet like Aladdin

It is a function of your location. I am enjoying blue BRT than driving(ikorodu) for now.

having both is economical.... my view! ask me why?

In a big metropolis like Lagos, public transport is much more efficient and economical.
The challenge is to have COMFORTABLE options for that.
It is a very sad testimony to the poor governance of the state in the last 17 years plus by people who claim to be progreTHIEVES, that such comfortable public transport options are still elusive.
Abi, how many Lagosians hiding in London use their private cars?
How many?

depend on area ...like me I live in Ijoko in Ogun state and work in Isolo

20k for only single traffic offence for this recession?

yea, that blue BRT is one of the best thing that ever happened to Lagos.

I hope they maintain it.

a wise person in Lagos knows when to use his private car, or take BRT, or take yellow bus, take a cab or take Uber.

Taking in consideration your destination.

Ditto

Wonderful feeling

Funny question. Owning a car has always been for luxury and comfort rather than for economic reasons. Public transport no matter where it is will always be more economic. However. The ease to leave your home whenever you want to cannot be overemphasized

Aladdin did not buy a flying carpet.

Guy this is the answer you are looking for in the simplest of forms. Every other talk fit be gibberish.

I have only lived in Lagos for 10days and from my findings, I'd say having a car if you journey around alot is very essential.

I mean C'mon, the Tfare is no joke.


Team Ibadan and loving it..

Bicycle toh sure.. No noise.. No smoke. Nd it enters every corners... Not to talk of no fuel
Consumption

Which is more economical not comfortable. Read with understanding

I hate driving in Lagos during work days, except in April, June-Sep and December, when traffic is light. I enjoy driving only on Sundays.

It's crazy, stressful. I use my company's staff bus or public transport.

I hate driving in traffic.

On economy, it's obvious that public transport is more economical, but if you value the discomfort, it may not be exactly so.

ok
