A very good development. It will also be great to have the minds of the bus drivers re-branded also.
Re: Lagos To Replace Danfos With AC Buses by mailmitch(m): 9:48am On May 23, 2016
It is a gud gesture by d Lag govt kudos. Bt my own take is @ whse expense. Who will buy d buses, who will drive d buses is it d original danfo drivers we knw or are u employing new pple nd throwing out d regular drivers we knw. Wht is d payment plan if ths buses are to b given on higher purchase to d intended drivers. Is it smethng tht is affordable fr d danfo to throw away their old buses etc. To me thse are d necessary questions tht shld b asked.

No a bad initiative. But how about maintaining the ones we already have -- BRT. The state of many of those buses will make you just puke.

Nice move..

Buh is it feasible population wise?

Some lagosians will still ditch those AC buses for rough ones

They will only succeed in displacing transporters, and this is no good news. Meanwhile LTC ON FP.

Infact this is the goal of the govt. But one thing though, the danfo union would resist this.

We have a bunch of self centred leaders, who rather than work in the interest of the masses, they impoverish the people with wicked and 'Ebola' policies and projects meant to enrich their pockets and their 'political alleluia boys'. That's why you see them 'masturbate' themselves in the corridons of power. And keep recycling their good for nothing selves

Is Ambode taking the same route as Fashola. The "we will do" policy speech without any implementation.

If we request for the vehicles, you will be shocked that none has been purchased. We will also be shocked that no representatives of NURTW worker has been briefed on this new development. Surprisingly, they have rushed to the press.

I hope they considered resistance from the transport workers because I know all policies concerning commercial transport right from Tinubu have all failed

Ambode no dey for cock and bull....

He talk he do... I am proudly 5% but I love Ambode

U said it right.
In as much as its a good step, there r just so many things that will go wrong with it.

All BRT buses are fully sophisticated with air conditions.

May be you left Lagos years back.

You can't see single brt bus without 100% air condition working on it.
I stand to be corrected dude.

Thank God you said red buses. Those red buses are own by very few people. Maybe just between 1-3 people and that's why it lack maintenance culture. But the blue brt buses are own and regulated by LAMATA fully maintained by team of Chinese and Nigerian engineers.

So, save your energy ok. It will work

Huh bro pls be reminded BRT buses are now run by a private outfit (NOT nurtw again).
The new buses are all excellent, infact the a/c na die.

As for the red buses they are private and I really pity the owners because they've allowed it turn to molue, very soon am sure LASG will surprise them the way they surprised nurtw (1st-brt scheme)

Bros,

I think it is honourable to type what you know and not the other way round. There is no single one of the new BRT buses operated by Primero that is without AC in almost 1year of introduction. Besides there is signed agreement with LSG on the mimimum standard on the buses that should be maintained or they get kicked out of the franchise. Have you asked those who ply the blue buses from Ikorodu to CMS?

Maintenance culture issue here is now private sector driven, the onus and incentives is on the private sector to maintain those vehicle to standard or get kicked out of the scheme.

This APC government sef.

They are talking about rebranding the transport sector but nobody is talking about getting rid of the TOUTS who extort money from commercial drivers on the roads of LAGOS.

The rebranding is expected to take care of that. In a well organised transport sector, the "touts" can be well engaged in organised activites ranging from ticketing, maintenance artisans, Park wardens etc

Good job and leave the thread

why is it that some of you guys reason with it #anus,
what exactly is good about this project?
what is even wrong with this APC led govmnt, all they do is set up policies and project that will make the masses suffer, yes I said so, before someone best me up here, let's look into it this way.
if they face off danfos off the road, how of those danfo drivers or owners can afford to buy an AC bus, before you know is, the rich will come and take over the secyir, and the fair will be high for a common man, and the so called AC onec will not last for two years, but a well maintaind danfo can work like for ever.

they should have try to put a policy to make sure the danfos on Lagos roads are well maitaind to meet up with the standard that the state is expecting to meet with, let's start having that maintaining culture. the country is without money they say, where will they bring out money to buy AC buses?


there is no change in this #CHANGE
