5 Things That Will Occur If Danfo Buses Are Phased Out In Lagos by autojosh: 12:37pm On Feb 10, 2017
Many Lagosians are surprised to hear Danfo buses will be phased out. This has made headline in the last few days with photos of the new replacement buses trending online.

Many are scared that the eradication will have an adverse effect on their day to day commute..

We will like to here your opinion. Tell us the effect this will have on you as well as the society.

Let’s start with these 5 points while you add yours..

High Rate of Unemployment
One Danfo bus puts food on several tables.. The driver, conductor, the mech, Agbero, NURTW Executives/Chairman etc.. even the Men In Black sef. Closing that door will render many of these guys jobless.

High Rate Of Crime
I am sure you know the next best job for these guys… (Hooliganism). However, a gradual change that also provides alternative jobs for the affected may mitigate crime rate.

Increase in Transportation Fare
Same way Uber is usually more expensive than that 1985 VW Passat “Kabu Kabu“. These new buses will be more expensive except they are heavily subsidised as promised by the Lagos State Government.

Reduced Accident
Danfo has been maiming and killing Lagosians since…

So much recklessness and oversabi. I even entered one with a bad throttle cable recently.. You won’t believe that the conductor went to sit in the boot controlling the throttle with his hand. The driver was even shouting at the conductor “tena si, tena si” (move faster, move faster).. See me jumping down like Vin Diesel.

Lagos Roads will Become Dull

Whether it is good or bad, these bus drivers can light up your day.

4 conductors can want to drag you into their bus at the same time, some that don’t have change will merge you with another passenger you don’t know from Adam. They will sha create one thing that will make you argue. Sometimes, they crack you up.

Add yours in the comment section..

Uber is not more expensive than the regular taxis in my opinion.

6. No more "lapping"

7. No conductor to argue with over your balance

8. No conductor to negotiate with when your money ain't enough

9. No more driver that'll be brave enough to take one way and beat traffic

10. We will surely miss the yellow and black colours

This move will be met with very strong opposition. If it finally comes through, the first effect it will have is High rate of theft occurrences.

Stealing will be done with impunity and will be blamed on government. So the government has to also put lots of security and anti-theft measures on ground before fully launching this move.

Individuals too should be highly security conscious as well.

But by and by, people will be adapt somehow somehow and things will return back to "normal"

Major cities in the world do not use rickety buses like what we use in Lagos; truth be told, we accept all kinds of nonsense in this country. The buses should go...I recall when the gradual phasing out of molue started, people made same comments, is Lagos and Lagosians not better off today without that death trap called bus? Danfo should go or the drivers should apply to drive the new buses...

Good one Ambode. Fire down sir!

How can Lagos call herself a mega/global city and she has yellow buses and touts littering the streets?

Good riddance to nuisance!
