Lagos, Nigeria’s port and commercial center, is notorious for its chronic traffic congestions and terrible accidents. Lagos is the only city of its size in the world that doesn’t have a city-wide rail system. That’s 15 to 21 million people (no one knows exactly how many) who are forced to commute by road only everyday. Exposing motorists, passengers/pedestrians to long hours of heat and inhalation of harmful vehicle emissions.

Nice idea..

But not possible in present day nigeria

1. Amphibious buses/cars(Netherlands, China).


If the Government/Ministry of transport or private transport company can provide hundreds of these to move people in lagos to and fro where necessary.

(Not familiar with Lagos, but you guys will know exactly where necessary).

2. Modern city train system/service(London), overground not underground. Underground maybe too expensive/extreme for us.

We can't have these wen our government is busy siphoning billions of naira into dr pockets....

3. Seperate truck lanes will reduce accidents, trucks/containers falling on cars.

Sounds good to me

Sile2, keep educating us

I like this bus

Nice.. Hope Ambdode will get to see this thread..

Check my signature for ur customised wristband

4. Interchange/Highway.

Government should provide these in Lagos and traffic will drastically reduce.


*Highway 401, Canada.

*Dallas highfive.

*L.A.

*Dubai Interchange.

Explorers, i enjoy your threads, always interesting!

All izz well!

5. Bike sharing(Netherlands, London).

Will this work?

Imagine having thousands of bikes littering about a hundred bike stations across Lagos or VI. Instead of adding your car to the traffic, you can just stroll to the nearest bike station to your house, pick a bike, cycle to work and drop it off at the nearest bike station to your office. Like that again when you're going home

Sile12 my man sorry Explorer following you like hunchback....

I believe in Nigeria, She will Shine again

Tax car owners and introduce better BRTs. There shud be ferry service from oworo to the island also. To reduce 3rd mainland traffic. Bt trust our leader. None of thier business

Correct, like that of Washington state/Seattle ferry that moves people and cars.(It goes to Canada/Vancouver waters). Thanks bro.

Bike sharing,huh? How many Nigerians will return the bike?

Newyork and Dubai cabs.

Haven't lived in England for some years and travelled around Europe. There are a lot of transport systems that can remove traffic congestion in Lagos but will they invest in it? I doubt it. Lemme mention a few to add to the OP's own. Cable Car system, Tram system, Ferry with the ones the OP mentioned Overground and Underground train even though it will take so long and massive investment in building underground tunnels and stations. The power sector is still bad so alot of these projects is not sustainable. The bottomline is that these idiots in govt have to stop stealing money and invest in massive infrastructure and planning. Try checking out transport for London( tfl.gov.uk) and see how a good city transport system is planned.

The Phileas BRT vehicle developed by Dutch company Advanced Public Transport System (APTS) can drive itself automatically on a dedicated route/track as well as being manually driven on normal roads.

Mr explorer be rest assured that someone somewhere is seeing your works and getting ideas. Your threads are very educative. Nice one.

I've always said it and will continue say it that we've got a bunch of dumb ass leaders...cos I can't really see any sense in them seeing as things are outside the country when they travel and can't think of replicating such here...when they conduct feasibility study as in what it costs to set up these things I don't think it needs some sort of rocket science. But they won't. Instead they embezzle the money and send it out of the shores of the country to keep enriching the other countries.

Kudos Explorer...following you bumper to bumper.

I thought GEJ already provided that...at least according to claims emanating from a segment of your country.

Nigerians will complain because the roads will need to be expanded and their illegally built edifices will have to be destroyed.
