I avoid water transportation anytime I'm in Nigeria at almost all cost

Truth is our maintenance culture is terrible so it feels safer for me to take public road transport rather than ferry. if a BRT bus us poorly maintained it'll break down on the road and offload its passengers into another BRT while ferry might sink!

Of course there are safety measurements in place but its only a matter of time before such measures are cut corners on one after the other and I'd rather be safe than sorry. better late than never for me

^^ This particular one here killed a friend of mine. We lived in the same hostel for around 3 years back in school. Guy graduated, served, came back to Lagos to hustle only to die a few years later due to a heap of sand in the middle of the waterway. Imagine dying because of an ongoing construction work without a "sign" from the construction company.

Waterway accidents rarely gain attention but these things are happening day in day out in Lagos.

Felixalex:

hustla:
Any sensible government would have tapped into this thing but It's Nigeria

Imagine 100 big ferries on these waters, it'd generate some money while reducing traffic jam

AutoJoshNG:
In Lagos, plying on the Inland waterways are several commercial ferries and motorized high capacity boats. They are owned by private individuals, institutions and the Lagos state government.

They operate on the waterways in and around Lagos state. They are an alternative to traveling on the chaotic Lagos roads.

These ferry services are offered to transport commuters to a distant destination within minutes, as opposed to hours that it will normally take to travel to the same destination by roads.

A good number of Lagosians use them, especially those who reside in far-flung suburban axis but who work or trade in distant locations.

Autojosh.com was at some of the jetties built by NIWA (National Inland Waterways Authority), the Lagos state governments and some private individuals and institutions.

We got first hand information on how much it costs to patronize these commercial ferry services.

Our observation is that there are several, though slight, variations in the fares demanded for trips to some specific destinations. These variations are determined by the capacity of the engines of the ferries , the quality of the boats, etc.

However, we also observed something as it relates to the fares being charged by the ferry services operators: the amount currently being charged as fares by these commercial ferry operators would be significantly reduced if there were more ferries participating and competing with the few existing ones on the Lagos Inland waterways.

It goes without say, if this mode of mass transit is sincerely explored by the government, it would significantly decongest the roads and rid the state of the legendary road traffic gridlocks in Lagos.

Below are the average amount charged for ferry rides to different locations together with the average duration it takes to complete a trip.

I don't know about who posted the prices of fares or who the person reprents. No where from Ikorodu pays 500 to VI or 500 from VI to Ikorodu. The least from Ikorodu is 700 and sometimes we pay as high as 1200-1500. That is the fact. For me, I am a steady payer.
