Ambode’s New Bus Stop Shelters: Can They Stand The Test Of Time? by autojosh: 12:09pm On Nov 13, 2018
As Governor Akinwunmi Ambode exists the seat of authority in Lagos state, he would leave behind not a few legacies.

Many of these legacies exits in the road transport sub-sector. They were achieved with the Bus Reform Initiative of the Ambode-led government.

Under that initiative, he attempted to revolutionize public transportation and usher in ease of connectivity within the State.

For instance, 100 brand new bus stops are currently being constructed statewide.

Each of these bus stops feature comfortable bus shelter, lay-by, lighting, walkways, guard-rails, wire-mesh fencing for pedestrian protection and passenger information system, among others.




However, there is a bit of concern expressed by some Lagos state residents. It has to do with the durability of materials used for the construction of the bus stop shelters. Doubts are being entertained in some quarters about the capacity of these bus stop shelters to withstand the test of time.

The bus stop shelters are been constructed using mild steel with low tensile strength together with acrylic glass.








In Lagos state, the residents are legends when it comes to vandalizing public infrastructure.

It is for this reason that one wonders why these bus stop shelters are being constructed using easily destroyed materials.

Unlike other previously constructed Bus stop shelters, such as the ones constructed by MTN, aesthetics appears to be the primary focus as opposed to their durability.


See below pictures of other previously constructed bus stops shelters in Lagos.







The company handling the construction of the new Bus stops and their shelters is Planet Projects Limited.

The design of the bus shelter and media was done and provided by JCDecaux Grace Lake.

The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) is the supervising agency for the project.

CAN THEY STAND THE TEST OF TIME??

Before Long, they will become meeting grounds for Agberos
Before Long, they will be transformed into a mini market place by impatient itinerant traders
Before Long, they will be transformed into housing estates for the mentally unstable

Can they stand the test of time?
The answer is NO.

The problem of Nigeria is beyond just those at the helm of affairs.

An average Nigerian is a problem to himself and the country at large...

Ambode deserves a second term. He wasn’t perfect but he had a vision. The bus tops will definitely make life easier for people trying to waiting for the bus. It will protect them from adverse weather conditions.

I still think he’s a mediocre governor but using Nigerian standard as a metric of measurement, he tried small.

Amaechi did better than this in Rivers state. However, the Nigerian mass is the problem.
All manner of church advert have defaced them. Now, no maintenance.
