Even danfo, okada et al don hijack brt lanes

These new buses is better than outdated BRT because it has great facilities of a modern bus

its only for LASTMA to step up their duties, I personally prefer using BRT whenever I have to leave the island in a hurry during rush hour

Why them get sole right?

What's dreaming for you or are you blind and deaf? From ifeanyi Okowa in delta state to nysom Wike... All are igbos so keep your dream down your region.

A step to frustrate the buses. They should be entitled to use the BRT lanes. This is unacceptable.
Could BRT scheme belong to ...

I hate government-enabled monopoly

Primero, Dangote, etc

I never enter dat one before oo but e de follow brt lane na

The only thing I discovered in the write-up is that we the public are the one that set-up and financing still financing brt buses in Lagos, yet we know nothing about their operations.
I think interested investors should be allowed to have their own brt franchise also and also determines their price.

LASG has modified federal roads, using state government money, to restrict approximately a third part of the highway network for the use of a private business concern.

One would expect all commuter buses to be granted access to the BRT lanes for the public good, but alas, the lanes remain empty for the most period because the concessionaire does not even have financial heft to operate at reasonable capacity, while the rest of us struggle and waste productive hours in traffic occassioned by the considerably narrowed highways.

Nigeria is a place where government officials implement such bizarre and patently stupīd policies that you start to wonder whether we are still living in the medieval period.

Buhari is the Best President Nigeria will ever Produce !!!

Report me if i'm wrong

Rubbish instead of then to allow d buses to ply d road they are busy forming BRT dis people are just enjoying monopoly(tinubu),
Why can't d buses ply d same BRT road at least it belongs to d government or is it because it was Ambode project rubbish pple even d so called BRT is not enough for d ppl

These new busses plies brt lane. I have seen them several times. It is the real brt. They wrote at the back of the busses

megafaraday:
Good one. We need to see more of them on the roads as they appear parked somewhere now

They are packed at yaba, there is a big compound before Presbyterian church yaba

Dangote is NOT a monopoly...
The DISCOs are monopolies, but an example that sometimes monopolies are necessary.

Meanwhile, Primero (just like the DISCOs) are only a monopoly on designated routes...
Lagos plans to develop 14 BRT routes, and each route is subject to a public competitive bid.

No, the public did not...
Of course, the govt financed the BRT lanes.

But Primero financed the acquisition of its buses with a Sterling Bank loan...
And resorted to the capital market this year with a Securitization offering for additional buses.

They are still developing the Intelligent Transport System to be used...
And are training/retraining the bus drivers, conductors, maintenance staff, etc.

Can an investor also take up buses to ply the lane solely for commercial uses?
If no, then the masses is the one financing major part of the investment.

These buses were NOT procured to be BRT buses...
Instead, they were procured by the LASG to eventually replace the rickety Danfo buses on most routes.

Perhaps Danfos would still exist in the underserved and/or semi-rural outlying areas of Lagos, but the primary aim of acquiring these high-capacity and more environmentally-friendly buses (they will run on CNG) was to replace Danfo in most of Lagos. At least that was the plan under the Ambode administration, but not sure if that’s still the plan since Ambode’s ouster.

Ambode decided that instead of throwing Danfo drivers and conductors into the unemployment market they would be trained/retrained to operate and maintain these new buses (in conjunction with the NURTW) under private operating companies, and that has been responsible for the delay in the take off of the services since the first batch of 800 buses (out of a projected 5000 eventually) were procured.

In addition, the supporting and maintenance infrastructure for these buses had to be put in place first. This includes the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) that will enable commuters track buses and plan their journeys (as well as ultimately purchase tickets) online, the bus shelters and terminals, the 3 maintenance depots at Oshodi, Yaba and Lekki (including the assembly plant at Awoyaya-Lekki).

Finally, it’s crucial that Nigerian governments (and frankly Nigerians in general) learn to respect the sanctity of commercial contracts if we are serious about attracting much-needed private capital and investment (both domestic and foreign). Primero, following a successful public bid to operate the BRT route (out of the envisaged 14 routes) took a Sterling Bank loan followed by the Securitization offering this year to finance operation of this concession. No serious govt should change the terms of the concession midway into its operation.

No, just like a private DISCO can not operate another DISCO’s concessioned area...

There are 14 planned BRT routes (Abule-Egba to Oshodi is presently being developed), and each BRT route will be subject to public competitive bidding (hopefully, there will be several bidders, just as with the GSM licensees and the DISCOs), but the very essence and concept of the BRT (with emphasis on “rapid”) is that it effectively acts as the road equivalent of the light rail system. And just like the rail system, the government builds the hard infrastructure while (ideally) a private concessionaire operates rolling stock (and pays the govt a percentage of the revenue derived effectively as ‘rent’ for the use of the public infrastructure). This is NOT unique to Lagos or Nigeria.

Then the govt owe us a duty of transparency by disclosing the details of the contract with Primero.
