Lagos BRT And LBSL Buses: Know The Difference by AutoJoshNG: 5:05pm On Oct 23, 2019
In this article, we will throw some light on some high capacity buses used for mass transit in Lagos State.

This has become necessary because of a popular misconception that the recently bought mass transit buses used in Lagos State are also BRT buses.


BRT

Bus Rapid Transit otherwise referred to as "BRT" is a mass transit system that employs dedicated lanes. The use of the dedicated lanes enables the BRT buses to avoid traffic – and by extension, ensure shorter duration of journeys.

The BRT system is also considered a lucrative venture for its operators, as return time is shorter because of the use of the dedicated lanes.

The Lagos BRT

The Lagos BRT service was inaugurated on 17 March 2008.

Currently, a private company - Primero Transport Service Limited, is the sole operator of the Lagos BRT scheme. It operates on the Ikorodu-Mile 12-CMS BRT corridor.

BRT buses are the only buses that are permitted to use the dedicated BRT lanes in the state.

The Lagos BRT buses are in diverse brands such as Ashok Leyland, Yutong. The current BRT buses are blue in colour.

In Lagos state, the BRT scheme is regulated by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA).

SBLS


The LBSL buses are a set of high-capacity buses that operate in Lagos metropolis. The buses are operated by the Lagos Bus Services Limited (LBSL).

The Lagos Bus Services Limited (LBSL) is a company that was set up by the Akinwumi Ambode administration.  The company was incorporated on 1 August 2016 as a transport asset acquisition, operations, and advisory services company.

President Mohammadu Buhari formally inaugurated the LBSL bus operations on April 24, 2019.

LBSL buses are strictly not permitted to use the dedicated BRT lanes in Lagos. Therefore, they are not BRT buses.

Some infrastructure were provided for the smooth operations of the LBSL buses. They include bus shelters, lay-bys, bus flags, terminals, and depots at various strategic points along the routes.

Currently, LBSL bus services are deployed using the Brazilian-built Marcopolo buses.

Note: on some of the LBSL-operated buses, the word "BRT" is emblazoned on their chassis. This does not make them BRT buses. BRT is a mass transit system, not a type of bus.

A woman went shopping. At the cash counter, she opened her purse to pay.

The cashier noticed a TV remote in her purse.

He could not control his curiosity and asked,

"Do you always carry your TV remote with you? undecided"

She replied " No, not always, but my husband refused to accompany me shopping today because of football match, so I took the remote."

Moral: Accompany and support your wife in her hobbies..... smiley smiley

The story continues.... undecided

The cashier laughed and then returned all the items that lady had purchased.

Shocked at this act, she asked the cashier what he was doing.

He said, "your husband has blocked your credit card.........." shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked

MORAL: Always respect the hobbies of your husband. undecided undecided undecided undecided undecided undecided

Story continues....

Wife took out her husband's credit card from purse and swiped it. Unfortunately he didn't block his own card.

Moral: Don't underestimate the power and wisdom of your WIFE..

Story continues...

After swiping, the machine indicated, 'ENTER THE PIN SENT TO YOUR MOBILE PHONE'.......

Moral: When a man tends to lose, the machine is smart enough to save him!

Story continues....

She smiled to herself and reached out for the mobile which rang in her purse.

It was her husband's phone showing the forwarded SMS.

She had taken it with the remote control so he doesn't call her during her shopping.

She bought her items and returned home happily.

Moral: Don't underestimate a desperate woman! lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

A note was pasted on the door

"Couldn't find the remote. Gone out with the boys to watch the premiership match. Will be home late. Call me on my phone if you need something". wink wink wink

I am confused as to why the government created special lanes for the privately-owned BRT buses, and these lanes cannot be used by the government-owned LBSL buses?

heavy corruption is going on under this BRT rubbish, that is why they have been dragging feet on the train project! how can you spend billions to build train stations and abandoned them for criminals? BRT purshasing scam is more lucrative I guess!
