We are the cause of our predicament, from small to bigger ones. The government performed its function, its now incumbent upon the people to make good use of the facilities and report any irregularities to the authority. Well, this is one of the many challenges in managing a city like lagos especially in times of transformation like this from a mere city to a mega city which the present administration is handling.

Capt. JH Miller:
See my problem with you guys over at LAG, they impose things and discomfort you guys but you just go with the flow.
That's why I like north for some things, evreybody will just drop and leave the car for the driver.
Worse that can happen, you waist some few minutes to get another.

Make una know ur rights and voice it out!
Ur waist, ur waist, all they want is ur waist.

contactmorak: The photos taken at Idumota area of Lagos portrays how officials of the Bus Rapid Transport(BRT) normally load the buses with goods together with passengers from Idumota.

We were also told that the officials often collect tickets for the loads which they will resell later and keep the money to themselves.

Wow! Five years after, and this is what the BRT has turned into, isn't it supposed to be a modern and luxurious form of commercial transport system like you'd find in other developed part of the world?

Codedeben: Though kinda so inhumane to pack passengers alongside luggages like this, but i can tell y'all haven't traveled long distance on naija road before, esp Lagos to North or east using normal small buses (hummer bus or those old ones). The worst ever experienced in my life was LAGOS - MINNA (Niger State). its just a custom, as in its like a norm (cos u have traders who come to lag to buy things almost everyday) , you cant escape it - most especially their state transport-owned buses called NSTA. They fill every little spaces in the bus with "kaya" , even relaxing your leg would be extremely difficult. Imagine for a minimum of 10-hour journey!!!!
God go save us for naija.
And from minna to laGos, the buses are usually filled with yam. I dunno if its a curse, everybody who visits minna takes yam home as a trophy

speedyboi: Part of the reasons I hate Nigerians! They will abuse anything!

"THEY" because you are not a Nigerian


If Fashola didn't give you BRT now.....People will be shouting 'Nigeria Government is this and that', 'People don't use Molue in "advanced" countries' etc....Now them give you world standard BRT, your dumb brains still no fit handle am ...You turn am to Molue. Mcheew..Na una sabi jare!

You seem not to understand civic education 101.
Fashola did not give anyone any BRT. He is simply doing his job as ELECTED governor of Lagos STATE to the residents. May I remind you that he is paid very well to do that job
Is that how you "give" your employers service for which you are paid each month? Or maybe if you are a business man, is that how your workers feel they are giving you service and you still pay them salaries?

oladapo_a1: change? To ghana or what? Else u don't knw idumota... U can't station a bus there to carry just passengers.
See this man stop propagating ignorance on this thread. Just tell us u don't have an analytical mind. It is WRONG for BRT buses to load goods on the passages. Even in cargo planes, are the casket or cargo loaded on the passages? Besides since the BRT bus has no trunk then I can confidently say it was designed for passengers alone. Perhaps the people who run the BRT should get a cargo version to ply these routes.
PS: To the people who put Air-conditioners etc on their verandah turn a 120mm cantilever slab to a slab used to carry heavy duty equipment, I'm a structural engineer and I don't pity u (I see it happening a lot in lagos).

Are you for real?

I hope the MODs will sanction you appropriately!

bammo: Na wa 4 naija. Well how much do they receive as sallary

Then the driver should look elsewhere for more pay and give the opportunity to another happy willing law abiding driver who has been wishing and praying to drive a BRT bus. Not all Nigerians are greedy!

You didn't get the point! So no need to explain jack! He did is job, you turn am to molue....It's as good as just sticking to the former molue instead of wasting money. Nigerians don't want change and that's it! All they know how to do is Shouting and claiming 'Rights'
