Lagos State Bans LAGBUS Buses From Operating In BRT Lane by morereb10: 4:26am On Nov 05, 2016
Lagos State Government has revoked franchises issued to LAGBUS Asset management, operators of LAGBUS buses, over use of Ikorodu corridor, even as it disclosed plans to introduce Intelligent Traffic System along Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor.

The Acting Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Anofiu Elegushi, who disclosed the ban yesterday at a press briefing in Ikeja, said with effect from Monday next week all LAGBUS buses will no longer utilise the BRT corridor to load, drop and travel.

He stated the LAGBUS buses can only provide end to end bus services using the Expressway and service lanes along the Ikorodu Road stretch. Explaining the decision, the acting commissioner noted that the state government was determined to enhance and boost commuters experience along the corridor. He added that the present arrangement has constrained the capacity of the BRT bus services to cater for the people.

“The restriction does not extend to charter staff buses run by LAGBUS; does not preclude access to depot along Ikorodu road and express services are allowed with only few designated stops. “All routes from Ikorodu hinterland will now terminate at TOS Benson bus stop after which there will be no loading of passengers. “However, the operations of LAGBUS buses have been moved to other 14 routes identified by the Lagos State Metropolitan Transport Master plan,” he said.

Elegushi added that one other route will take off before the end of the year, saying the new plan as in being in the overall interest of Lagosians. The commissioner also banned the on board sales of tickets on board buses describing it as the harbinger of unstructured service.

Those dirty, rickety Lag buses are on a backslide to be the new molues...... it's hard to believe they started as AC buses.

Whoever are the people behind it are just being tolerated for political reasons I believe.

Nice initiative!! The Lagos state transportation commission has been making some innovative decision in easing the stress Lagosians face on the ever crowded road.

I still prefare the lagbus to the brt.
The only good thing about the brt buses is the aircondition.
They are So disorganised ,time means nothing to them.
In fact there is now à saying amongst commuters of ikorodu tbs axis that the brt is meant for those that intends to be late to their destination .
Honestly the lagbus as far as i am concerned is far more efficient than the brt.

Lagbus is both owned by private individuals and the LASG... With the private body earning higher shares.....

There's nothing wrong with the transport system. It eases the stress of many, especially around the ajah axis.
