I was just wondering: can the idea of double decker bus work in nigeria as a mode of daily transport?

its been used by ABC!!! and oda travelln companies 2!

for travelling intrastate!!

really?do you have a pic or link ,a friend just said it can never work, its kind of an heated arguement,

Interstate is the key word, most of them have a wooden poll they use to push telephone wires up because they are SOOO low within the city.

Dont try and run one between ojuelegba and Tejuosho LOL

Too many wires!

no, because if those regular mega buses are having a hard time in nigeria?

dont you guys remember luxury bus operators brought in double decker buses to maximise their profits. they were prone to accidents because of all the bad roads. they had to take them off the roads. it was too dangerous. i entered one. the damn thing was swaying like crazy whenever it entered a pothole. terrifying is the word!

Good point. In other words, they were less safe than the regular molue buses due to potholes and wires.

to be honest in my own words. IT CAN'T WORK!!! ABC only use the one deck coach and not the double decker coach. and in nigeria were electricity line are usually runned anywhere, and u no the double decker coach are not so fast( i mean the speed) coz the load on them would make the coach to be dangling. i just dont think it can work but am happy to buy 10% of the businessif you no anyone that wants to venture in this investment. and let see if its ganna be a good investment. if someone dont try it we all wont no if its ganna work or are we?

Is it today Ekene Dili Chukwu, D Young, and the rest have been using double decker coaches to go to the east?

but am happy to buy 10% of the businessif you no anyone that wants to venture in this investment.

I'm confused. Why would you buy 10% of a business that "can't work"?

Nigeria has come a long way from the days when a double decker bus was brought to Kaduna trade fair and every one ran for their lifes. The good old days. Lol!

Where are the smooth roads for such "high centre of gravity" busses?
I will not travel in them for a million bucks in Naija. My God ! have your forgotten those pot holes at Onitsha. How will a double decker handle that?
My answer is NO. At least not until we maintain our roads properly. The same reason why you cant use a lamborghini or porsche in my village.

Double decker bus on Lagos streets is equal to double tragedy when there is an accident.

Double deckers might work in Lagos but you have to work out the routes, perhaps run on express routes.
But warn your conductors not to throw non-payers from the top deck o.

are you guys planning other methods of de-populating Nigeria

oga admin wat i meant was that if it does work yea and its bein in service 4 a year am happy 2 buy 10% of there equity

double decker bus is used in naija! dey may av stoped it i dunno! wot i knw is dat about 3 yrs ago! it was used enroute to abuja!

Tornadoz:

did they really?
funny!

What are you guys talking about here?

Double decker buses are being used in naija, especilly by the young motors.

The point should be whether it's safe enough.

Though i've not heard of any crashing.

still in nigeria a couple of days ago, these double decker buses are still in use.

You guys dey have a laugh, double decker buses in nigeria.

The roads are very bad and most people will not appreciate them

With such a deep potholes on almost every road, most of doubledeckers would turn upside down within minutes, Sorry, bad idea in my opinion.

This double deck bus can't work out in nigeria,cos there are bad roads every where .for ABC transport wen last did anybody see their double deck busses.they all capside .i think it could only work in some major parts of abuja.

Why not if they will not summersault in bad roads.

I suppose some pot-holes on our roads are threats to double decker buses they can fall a double decker bus, or don't you think so?

the only transport company that operated the Doudle Decker was Young shall glow motors.they still run on the roads but mostly northern part of Nigeria.other transport company are using single couch.

the whole transportation system needs a huge ovarhaul. not just double deckers

Nigeria has come a long way from the days when a double decker bus was brought to Kaduna trade fair and every one ran for their lifes. The good old days. Lol!

indeed nigeria has come a long way!!

lol

I will never advice anyone to use those kinda stuff, till our roads are better and our govt are willing to do the best to protect the citizen.
Cos that will only mean more people to die just in case of an accident
