The ban of Okada has really worsened the traffic situation in lagos.where you can go easily with okada in a matter of minutes now takes close to 3 hours on a commercial bus.this is just too bad honestly!

FYI.
lAGOS is no longer the centre of excellence.
It is now the centre of traffic.
Little wonder instead of opening excellent radio, they opened Traffic radio.

I have never been a fan of Lagos even though I grew up there, its too overpopulated which has resulted in a stiff congestion.

Now coupled with the ban on Okada, its even worse and the thought of driving or hopping buses is killing, Fashola has actually lost it with the masses and I hope he'd do something soon.

one now burn more fuel before getting to his destination than the usual amount of fuel used, and we can't even get the fuel easily.Congestion on all major roads within the state, I hope something drastic can be done asap.

Re: Traffic Situation In Lagos Is Getting Worse Everyday by Exponental(m): 12:59pm On Nov 08, 2012
So many things are wrong in this country, unfortunately, most of our leaders dodge from d basis or start from d top 2 resolve basic issues.
....what do u expect wen d source of transportation is reduced and there is increase in demand? Also, d private okada riders have joined d queue n those tired of queueing have brought out their cars 2 join traffic thereby delaying d commercials from returning on tym.
It is a cycle...what goes around, comes around!
Fashola got it wrong here, he needs 2 review his decisions.

To the contrary, I am very impressed that I drive within VI at lightening speed, no more okada getting in my way. I was especially very happy today as I drove through my routes in VI and the entire VI looks so gorgeous, organized and serene without Okada. Fashola got this right but in a very harsh way as the okada riders have no life support buoy and the Okada loving commuters have no alternatives. To me, its been wonderful.

Let's try PDP at least, with the established Lagos govt institutions and an enlightened public, i think they can do better. At least they are better than this Jagaban's political empire.

Cool down bros. He's working on it. Light train service will soon be available. Ferry service kicking of soonest.
Re: Traffic Situation In Lagos Is Getting Worse Everyday by lonamy: 1:16pm On Nov 08, 2012
Bros and sis, the traffic congestion situation has always been there. Since the ban on the okada, there is no proof that the number of cars/vehicles in Lagos has increased.
The thing is that, those of us that were used to okada to get us out of the traffic are now feeling the congestion, because there is no okada to get us out of the situation.

Fashola is working.

Of course its getting worse.

That is the only logical outcome when you have an overrated, corrupt Fashola administration/LASG which is very poor at curbing the excesses of its irredeemably corrupt traffic management officials.

As I write this, work has ceased on the "perpetually under construction" black hole that is the lekki-epe expressway. This is an "ëxpressway" that already has one operational toll point with another two set to follow, yet LCC, Hitech Construction Company and all the other actors in this macabre drama have simply gone to sleep and left the road (from just after Oando filling station onwards) to "lie fallow".

And mr fashola's hagiographers have the nerve to say lagos is working angry(whatever that means?)

I spent some time yesterday at Iponri where VIO and LASTMA officials hold court. I saw things there which left me speechless. Until that group is sorted out, traffic in this broken city WILL definitely get worse. But I know I am asking for too much.

'Eko oni baje' indeed.
