Lagos State Government says it has taken delivery of 300 new buses into its Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) fleet to boost public transportation services in the state.

The Commissioner for Transportation, Ladi Lawanson, said in Lagos that the new buses were part of the 800 buses paid for by the state government. The 300 buses would be on Lagos roads from Oct. 1, the commissioner said.

“The most important thing is that the buses will start rolling out from October and we are not stopping at that and we won’t stop at 800.
“All 800 buses have been paid for but they are not bought off the shelf, they are produced in batches.

“The state government, being an enabler, made a financial commitment for those 800 to come in.

“But we have a firm agreement with the bus company that we are going to build up to 5000 buses in the next three to four years,” Lawanson said.

The commissioner said that the bus company had also expressed commitment to establish assembly plant in the country to provide jobs and for easy maintenance of the buses.

“That is part of what we knew we had to resolve from the old ways we have been acting.

“Part of the company’s agreement is to establish an assembly plant here to provide more jobs for Nigerians and solve the problems of maintenance and spare parts,’’ he said.

Nigerians have a poor maintenance culture, which even reflects in government and institutions.
These so called BRT busses would rapidly depreciate to the level of danfo buses within the next one year...
No be Nigerians go dey drive them
No be Nigerians go dey enter the busses
Some drivers would even use their hands to disconnect the air conditioner, the stereo/music system, the electronic winders, etc.

Nice project

They keep killing people business those driving danfo should drive this new one's




Well it won't work 100% Africans have this attitude of destroying...

A welcome development

Now I can think of coming to Lagos again after a 10year hiatus. Whether you board them or not Danfo is always a menace.

We still have to stand for so long to board BRT at main terminals, like tbs, mile 12 and others. You will see buses parked with no drivers
I still don't understand our maintenance culture here

That bus stop terminal looks like a copy of stratford bus stop ......

Nice. But it isn't just about buying, they should also be well MAINTAINED! We lack maintenance culture in Nigeria.

Kai...Lasgidi..who no go no know.

Na after I travel out of Nigeria come back I come begin fear and get paranoid with living in Lagos. Before I vamos, it was home and the best I could ever dream of...lol.

I remember those days wey I go just enter bus from mafoluku burst out oshodi dey waka any how with molue and danfo.

Na so I carry waka find myself for national theatre iganmu one saturday, na so I begin form tourist dey stroll round inside national theatre o.

I stroll sotey I come go land for one big hall wey people boku, shuoo...wet in dey happen here? Na wedding reception o, everywhere busy, correct olden days jorrof dey smell everywia, some people dey carry shayo bottle cum drink for outside dey drop the empties anyhow.

Some lean lean bouncers tanda for the entrance, and if you see my big head plus wet in I wear you go know say I no belong there.

I don stroll taya hunger don put gun for my head, na so I tell myself say I must chop this jorof because the ones wey mummy dey cook for house na so so onions dey full am and I hate onions.

Na so I begin pick bottle, I pick bottle so tey I cum pick pass bouncers enter hall...


hahaha...wen I land inside hall, na so I hala " una fada"...

That particular day na twin brothers dey do wedding, in fact if you see the calibre of people, see skin, see fine smell...na so I blend in o.

I sharperly blend in with people wey dey serve food and drinks...so tey na me people come dey tell say dem need food and drinks.

I settle down load myself well arrange take aways come go mistake rush more than three bottles of gulder...

When I wake up, hall don almost empty na so I rush out jump inside the first molue wey I see.

Conductor come meet me say "owo e da" I manage tell am say I be staff say na hustle carry me reach costain side. I no know say the guy na idiot...na so e draw my leg remove my two kpangolo shoes oo...

Na barefoot I take land house day day but with enuff take away.

Every Saturday from then on, I come get my crew wey I dey carry go crash weddings.

Based on say I dey speak Yoruba and Igbo, any one wey get event na language I take dey blend in dey form organizer.

This was from 1994...life funny die. I no fit forget eko sha..I waka so tey, I come decide to use leg waka go Europe. The Tori dey my signature about my waka jugbe.
I get stories i swear..if you wan dey hear Toris say yeah yeah and keep following.

They should start the implementation already, been hearing about this for long

I give this buses two months...


No be Lagos again

.

Dey will use ewedu soup to stain DAT bus now

Very commendable Governor Ambode....

The Lagos state govt should emulate d Edo transport city Model... All passengers must get entry card. You can recharge d card as from #100 and above to avoid leakages in the system.

Better,especially when one driver killed a lady serving in Lagos

Just hope this time around, maintaining them is factored in.

300 or 3000? For the whole of Lagos? Kolewerk

Deja Vu. It's like seeing Fashola's brand new BRTs all over again.

Check out those BRTs now. Glorified molue

K

When will we stop placing the cart before the horse in Nigeria?
How can LASG import buses before setting up assembly and maintenance plant for these buses?
Is this not the same old cycle on repeat?
A huge funds has gone into just importation of the buses alone.
Lagos needs electric tram powered by IPP not more buses on the roads

300 buses not enough for those going to the Island alone

Danfo will never end. The lungu Danfo can penetrate, BRT cannot try

Heavance:
We still have to stand for so long to board BRT at main terminals, like tbs, mile 12 and others. You will see buses parked with no drivers
I still don't understand our maintenance culture here

Maintenance requires machinery
Machinery run on electricity
We don't have electricity.
-> No maintenance.
-
I've heard it said that all our electricity production in Nigeria is Equal to only ONE state in USA.
-
When white men want to do something, they are serious about it and take it in full force

End of danfo??
Hmmmm....
In this barbaric regime
I think your brain is d**ty
It needs this..

The Lagos state planning to make lag like londom

Good development, but this may not last, i remember TCTC, LSTC back in the days, Government lack maintenance culture , citizens are careless, May God touch their heart.

didn't choose innoson
