Rule 2 in life : Do not throw stones at every dogs that bark at you on the road, you will never get to where you are going!

Ignore losers in life.
They have nothing to contribute!

So why have you chosen to throw stones(reply every thread) on NL? U quoting rules u don't keep

This is nothing but good governance.
God bless Lagos state : The state other states use as a yardstick.
God bless Nigeria.

You wouldn't know what good governance is even if it sat on your face.


By the way, can you tell us if this buses were budgeted for?

how can i get a job in Lagos state commission?

I feel this is too early..why not give the roads a facelift 1stly..those potholes will damage these buses in a short time..these buses are worth more than 50m each . totally senseless using them on these crappy Lagos roads

Stupid decision.That bus was purchased to make transportation easier for the common man.Its not even enough yet you are giving them out to civil servants.

the buses were bought by ambode

Why not school bus for pub school kids? nonsense

Lesson learnt from Ambode misadventure in government is that government is about the people who must be at the centre of policy set by a Leader. Humpty Dumpty fell May 29

Bro, it's a very wrong investment ab initio, it should never have been. Demand and supply won't determine price of transportation again, drivers union will be the one to determine that, the govt can never provide enough buses for the populace at any point in time as the cost is just too unreasonable to start using taxpayers money for, maintenance will be from govt fund which breeds wastages and inflation of cost, if there should be fuel scarcity, how do govt manage the shortfall; will they stop working and let people get stranded or increase price arbitrarily.
The LAGBUS and BRT model is different from what Ambode was trying to do. LAGBUS is solely controlled by NURTW Lagos, BRT Is controlled by a Private entity (the name is on the bus and ticket) in conjunction with then Skye Bank (I don't know if it's still Skye, it's been long I boarded one), unlike the model Ambode wanted to flood Lagos with state bus, very soon, you go dey here bus subsidy at state level with different probes over embezzlement

cosmatika:
Nice, but he should also build a separate road for the bus too, if not traffic jam will still make them come late to work.
Ambode left a big shoe for Sanwo Olu to wear

BRT buses!

it means they will use the BRT lanes

What does it matter? Buses parked ever since. Ambode could have done same but did not

hope this won't reduce the buses on the other passengers daily routes they ply o! those buses are the real deal mhen!

fyneguy:

Why? The buses were bought with taxpayers’ money for the benefit of taxpayers and not just for civil servants. Let the civil servants (being taxpayers themselves) use public mass transportation like everyone else. If these 35 buses are not properly managed and maintained (as the rest of the fleet will be under the Bus Reform Initiative), they will be looking like the old ones they are replacing in short order.

You seem misinformed about Mr. Ambode’s Bus Reform Initiative....

Though the government imported the first batch of 820 (out 5000 envisioned) buses to ensure uniformity, those buses are owned by the Lagos Bus Service Limited, which is an asset acquisition and advisory SPV (albeit wholly-owned by the LASG, but run as a regular commercial company) that licenses and enfranchised the PRIVATE operating companies that will actually operate these buses, develop and monitor bus routes and services, and train or re-train drivers and operators, among others. The government will NOT be operating the new buses itself. Even the operators of the current BRT buses (Primero Transport Services Ltd.) has applied as a franchisee to operate some of the new buses.

Sanwo-Eko, I like this guy. I have confidence in his government.

johnkay1:
Great!

But what of maintenance? The way people vandalise government properties in
Nigeria is appalling. A very disciplined unit should manage it.

Same goes to the one Buhari commissioned for public transport
everything is looking good now but can we say that in two years
to come?

uuzba:
What about the maintenance plan for the BRT busses before e degrage into Madmax vehicles.

There are 3 new maintenance depots/workshops at Yaba, Oshodi and Awoyaya-Lekki (the last one will also be an Assembly Plant for future batches of these buses under a proposed PPP arrangement) for these new buses, and the Ambode administration had spent months training (directly with the bus manufacturers) technicians, mechanics, drivers and other ancillary workers to properly operate/maintain these buses.

Government is a CONTINUUM. Eko Oni Baje!

You might be right bro, I don't have sufficient details, but that misinformation was a result of his secrecy with relevant information to the public.
So many projects with little to no information about cost implications (inflated or otherwise) and other details, that is his fault, not the public.

I hope there would be good maintenance for the buses so they won't pack up in less than six months

The BRT is still being financed by Skye Bank...
And in fact, Primero recently issued new corporate bonds through Skye to purchase new buses.

Nevertheless, there is no major city in the world without some form of subsidized public mass transportation (including bus) system. The primary aim of the Bus Reform Initiative is to upgrade bus transportation in Lagos metropolis by gradually replacing the Danfo buses (and/or ultimately relegating them only to unserved minor routes outside of the main traffic corridors), and hopefully get more middle-class Lagosians to use buses more frequently and cars less frequently. These buses will also run on CNG and thus will be more environmentally-friendly.

Sorry, it is Sterling Bank handling the Primero bond issuance, not Skye...

However, Skye is called Polaris Bank these days, and is still in business (under new CBN-installed management).
