Takara: I dont know much about cable cars, but I think investing in water transportaion may be the panacea to the transportation problem of lagos given the peculiarity of the terrain

denzel2009:

They provide parachute for safe landing.

Negro_Ntns: nooooooo, noooooo!!!

this is bad idea! this is like laying tracks for trams, except instead of on surface we are suspending it in the sky. this is bad idea. how do you combine fast tracks planned for the metro rails with outdated drags?

let us expand development hinterland into yoruba townships instead of wasting money in one spot to construct multi layers of redundant projects.

Eko Ile please share with the Governor to convert this money and erect a parallel fast track to compete with nigerian railway corporation. we need to depopulate lagos. people can live in oyo and commute daily to lagos to work. it is possible for people in osun to commute back and forth daily to lagos. it is called speed train or bullet train. sky cable cars will only incite the remaining millions left in villages to troop into lagos and be part of the skyriding crowd.

bad bad bad policy on this one......scrap it!

seanet01: Fashola is Working!
Lagos is moving forward!!
ACN is Steering South West toward Socio-Economic Advancement!!!
PDP, Ibos and Haters are crying!!!!

abysirius:
Obviously u be olodo rabata! When gr8 minds are seeing opportunities u are seein cost as a shortcoming.

Have u ever thought of the employment opportunities that will be created? Or

Have u ever thought of this as a way of de-congesting our roads thereby solving problem of bottle-necks on the highway?

Have ever thought of it that this means has it's own dedicated route meaning that there won't be a problem dealing with time especially when it is a matter of urgency? Intermodalism as a principle in transport mgt brings about efficiency and that's exactly what our this administration is trying to achieve.

Yomieluv: Are u kidding,is this kind of amusement park stuff?

Eko Ile: Luckily for us in Lagos, bad bele, distractions and ignorant wahala doesn't bother or deter us from doing what we set our minds to. They tried so hard to kill our metro rail dream decades ago even after losing almost $100 million, but we didn't give up and today, it's almost a reality. Lagosians will commute on metro rail this year.


You can not stop the wheel of progress..

babyosisi:

Yes and it is free
It is for a 2 mile radius of coverage
And a facelift for their slums for upcoming Olympics

In Nigeria these things if they ever take off will eventually fall off the skies and kill folks in it and below it because there is no maintenance culture
People will be stuck and suspended in the air

Bad bad idea for Nigeria

What happened to the rail system?
Speed rail

CohenJane:

Has that ever happened in Brazil that you quoted initially?

Why not give this a chance too? Or do you think the project manager wouldn't be working on the concerns you raised?

If it can work in Brazil, it will work in Lagos.

Well, it may not work in Nigeria

pro01: It's only a matter of time before the cable cars are hijacked by 'one chance' bandits. Would be interesting to see hapless Lagosians thrown out mid air (without parachutes) after being robbed.
