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.

lilmarley:

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? "

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.....

The story continues....

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.........."

MORAL: Always respect the hobbies of your husband.

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!

Story continues....

On getting home, his car was gone.

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".

Dawn... He left with the house key too.


Moral: Don't try to control your husband.
You will always lose

Hilarious

Don't be limited by space. In that first picture we could have 16 lanes which would reduce congestion.

Why waste money buying more bus when u have already procured one by Ambode waiting to be cleared at the Port. Gov. Sanwo is clueless

Auto Josh I don’t understand the reason why you have kept on writing about BRT!!! It’s a failing project all governors after fashola used it as an avenue to make money I know you are doing this to get traffic on your web platform but in all honesty there’s nothing informative about BRT buses it used to solve problems now it doesn’t anymore there are bad routes and all the nonsense going on in lagos. You have been lying about a lot of things just last year you were writing about the Lagos Badagry rail been completed. May God help us in the hands of desperate bloggers.

thesicilian:
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?

You call Tinubus bus privately owned ? Are you okay so?

My questions for the OP are as follow.
1. If the BRT concession is under Primero, what is the business of the present governor and his govt in buying more buses for them.
2. What is the concession agreement between Primero and Lagos state govt.
3. What are the proposed BRT routes in Lagos and how many is already completed for use prior to purchase of these additional buses. (Abule Egba-Oshodi, Yaba-Iddo, Doyin-Okokomaiko routes) comes to mind
4. Is Primero also in charge of these new routes, and if so, is Lagos supposed to buy the buses for them?
5. What is the minimum numbers of buses are they supposed to have in their fleet under the agreement
We are aware that that is a plan by the previous governor to float an alternative bus system under the LBSL arrangement with the target of about 5,000 buses out of which only eight hundred have so far been purchased and imported.
Out of the 800 already imported only about 300 has been cleared and the rest still at the port. 6.What stops the new governor from clearing the remaining ones and putting them into use instead of involving itself in an already existing concession arrangement
7.What stops the govt to focus on completing the infrastructure been put in place by the former governor for the smooth operation of the LBSL scheme which is statewide project and requires no dedicated lane.
I need answer to these burning questions instead of lecturing us the difference between the two bus systems.

the next is always worse than the former

BRT BRT BRT who are/is the real owner of this company that is bigger than the state? We all know is no other person than ex governor TINUBU and if he's allowed to be the president, only God knows what will happen to Nigeria

payperpost:
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!

I hope you are aware that the light rail trains will also be operated by PRIVATE companies...
It will effectively be a rail-based BRT - govt builds the infrastructure, but PRIVATE companies operate the rolling stock.

BRT is NOT a company...
It’s simply a road infrastructure-based mass transit system.

There is currently one BRT route and another that was close to completion by Ambode administration...
Eventually, there will be about 13-14 BRT routes, and the operator for each route will be by public bidding.
>

The question that need to be asked are:

(1) Why was BRT lanes done by the government but operated by a private company owned by the Tinubu? Is this NOT corruption

(2) How come Ambode donated 5 buses to a privately owned company free of charge?

(3) Despite claiming he met an empty Treasury, Governor Sanwo Olu recently bought 800 boses at a cost of over N500b and donated it to a private company owned by his benefactor Tinubu. Note that he bought this with public funds and Lagos state has it's own buses but the governor choose to donate what was bought with public funds to a private company whereas the state has it's own buses

(4) How come the government buses can't use the BRT lanes constructed with public funds but these lanes are rather used by Tinubu's owned private company buses??

Private owned brt uses dedicated lanes but govt owned brt are not allowed to ,
One of the sins of Ambode against the owner of Lagos.
Ambode doesn't merit second tenure with all the works done but Bello got it and given 10billion for imaginary works done.

That's government /private partnership. They share the profits together.

The article correctly stated the current situation of mass bus operation in Lagos. It is erroneous for the OP to keep posting articles on BRT operations without asking revelant. At the inauguration of BRT scheme in 2017, LAGBUS was the focal point before ECOBANK partnered with NURTW to run 1st BRT with supervision of LAMATA to run Ikorodu/Mile12/CMS route. The government of BRF streamlined the system to give regulatory, Franchises and operation roles to LAGBUS and facilities development to LAMATA due to crisis in terms breakdowns of buses and inability to pay staff issues -( court case instituted on this has not been resolved). The franchise scheme under LAGBUS gave birth to Fabrem-F001, Mutual transport-M001, and about 15 other private bus operators under LAGBUS which were fully allowed to use BRT lanes across their route!
Ambode tricked the Management of then LAGBUS to scrapped over 300 buses which in anyway were old because the average life of each bus was over 8years of 16hours daily operation. He promised to replace the buses with more efficient buses. Surprisingly, the game changed! He declared LAGBUS moribund in May 2018 when he had secretly incorporated a new company with the initial functions of LAGBUS to replace it.

Dear Autojos, the questions you should ask your master are:
1. Why Ambode was determined to end LAGBUS by all means and created LBSL?
2. Why he commissioned uncompleted, leaking and below specification bus terminals?
3. Were the buses purchased and currently in operationBrazil marcopolo?

See attached pictures of bus terminals commissioned.

I think you meant to write 2007...
But even though BRT was launched in 2007, operations actually started in 2008.

Subsequently, in 2012, the LAGBUS franchise arrangement became operational with 10 franchise companies, 17 routes, and about 240 buses. When the Ambode administration came into office it CONTROVERSIALLY entered into a BRT concessionary agreement (following a public bidding process) with Primero in 2016 while the LAGBUS franchise was still operational. Subsequently, also in 2016, the LAGBUS franchises were revoked.

However, it must be noted that many Lagosians were happy with the revocation of the LAGBUS franchise arrangement and the introduction of brand new buses (financed by Sterling Bank) by Primero. The LAGBUS buses had become dirty, often unserviced and in constant disrepair, reportedly resulting in interminable delays, and had started to revive memories of the old Molue culture (see example of below).

The revocation of their franchises meant that LAGBUS-NURTW-controlled buses were no longer allowed to utilize the BRT Corridor, and could only use main roads like other commercial vehicles (like Danfo). However, I do not believe that Ambode promised to replace the LAGBUS buses for the LAGBUS franchisees. Rather, he promised Lagosians worried at the revocation that the LAGBUS buses would be replaced with better BRT buses.

Finally, it is important to note that the Lagos Bus Service Limited (LBSL) which was incorporated by the Ambode administration, is neither a replacement for LAGBUS nor a BRT operator. It is primarily an asset acquisition and advisory services company (which would also be handling operations until private operating companies take over) to acquire the new high-capacity buses that would ultimately replace most Danfo buses.

1. Thanks for picking the error in the date posted. Simply oversight.
2. LAGBUS franchise started with FABREM along Ajah/Law School/Marina/CMS/Oshodi and Mutual Model Transport from Ikotun/Cele/Oshodi/Idumota/Inner Marina, etc earlier before 2010!
3. At resumption to office of Governor Ambode, the fleet of buses had ran an average of 7years and some of the fleet of buses were operated beyond his 4years tenure! So, in simple term the buses should had been scrapped earlier!
4. On the incorporation of LBSL, research further.
5. Concession of BRT operation to Primero through an open bidding; provide evidence?
6. Ambode replacing the old buses is not a sin or bad decision because he was part of the system from inception.
7. On the use of BRT corridor, all LAGBUS buses not only FRANCHISE operators were stopped from plying the corridor.
8. So the other issues raised are sensitive and I wouldn't comment on them
