All these speeches by Lagos state govt concerning these new buses, is all talk, and plenty hype. angry The red BRT LAGBUS buses were also sparkling new at one time, before they became the ugly, scrappy, worn out, badly maintained vehicles, we currently see on our roads. sad The condition of the blue BRT buses is just marginally better, than those of its red counterparts.

I have always said one thing: our greatest drawback has always been in the area of maintenance. angry Our people, state and local govts have a very poor maintenance culture. And those charged with the operation and maintenance of these buses, never learn from the failures of previous bus schemes that had fallen apart, before their arrival. Anyway, I wish all commuters a happy ride on these new set of buses, before they fall into a state of disrepair. I give these new buses, another 18 months before they turn into rickety, worn-out metal contraptions like their predecessors. undecided

What were you expecting, the buses should remain the same, they shouldn't get old? Some of those buses are from Fashola's first term, over 8 years! If things get old, new ones come, it's not a train!

Ambode the bus stop and bus governor should look into other areas of transportation biko. With the population density in Lagos, underground trains as alternative means of transportation would be better because it would reduce the stress of traffic. He should stop buying buses and adding to the road congestion and instead provide other means of transport.

Underground trains grin grin grin

Why not just advocate for space shuttle?

You are a liar.

There is nothing wrong with the blue buses. The red buses are the badly managed ones which I understand will soon be phased out

Well, that's what the planning is for isn't it? The governor should stop using band aids for gaping sores. It's obvious buying buses upandan is not really helping with the traffic congestion, if he really wants to be remembered for something, then underground stations are not impossible. Its not to be buying buses that in the next five years the next government will buy another set and on and on ad nauseam

It's important you do your findings before coming on line . The BRT buses are never the red buses but the Blue buses with 24hr AC , Tv and free wifi. Don't just comment because of your hatred and ignorance.

I totally understand your view but still insist it is impossible to run in this part of the world where some people are devoted to frustrate the country's electrical department.

Your response is not different from his. He stated categorically that the problem was poor maintenance which you also agreed to by stating that the red buses were poorly maintained. If that is your submission,then there is no need to call him a liar.

Also, an arrangement is also being firmed up as part of the short-term plan for the buses to be assembled in Lagos, which would, in turn, create jobs for the people, and as well serve to properly maintain the buses.

if only yall really read these posts

All Lagos state governors are tribalistic! They only concentrate on locations that suits them, others doesn't concerns them. Now this is not only applicable to only Lagos but the entire 36 states, including the federal level. Its a shame if one community or LGA benefits more than the other, and this will lead to slow growth and development of a nation. The western world carries 95% of its people along in whatever development they engage in. No place is left behind. I remember I watched Japans president speak when they had that worse earthquake, he said together they will rebuild Japan, and no place will be left, look at them today. Nigeria leaders are just fooling themselves and some citizens that let themselves too be fooled. You own a house, your compound is very neat and attractive, but inside is dirty and not habitable, who do you deceive. Let's think and be wise. Most you in Lagos that stay outside Island, what are your daily experience with transportation? Do you think these buses will work in your locations? So why the hype? Do you have roads, lights, good hospitals in your environment?

Am not in anyway thrilled about this news.Who are the new owners of these buses.Are the elites,politicians, so rich individuals snatching the sources of income of the middle and low class?Are the buses govt owned or public-private partnership. What will happen to owners of yellow buses and where will they ply to make ends meet.Or are they just been pushed out of business?Governor Akinwunmi Ambode needs to be transparent about the new Lagos transport system and its new owners
