The ban on tricycle and bikes in Lagos without alternatives on ground yet would definitely make life difficult for people. We all feel the pain and urge the government to make alternatives available quickly.
But there is a problem, the mentality of the people would take serious time to correct. People cry that they would be getting stuck in traffic because bikes and tricycle make it easier to get around. It's really shocking because you wonder, How do these bikes get around traffic? simple. breaking the law. They create lanes where there is none, they ride against traffic, ride on kerbs, run red lights at traffic stops,speed anything just to get by traffic and the passengers applaud them. yet, later we shout that they are reckless. There is a problem here.
Truth is if Lagos were not a lawless society, the Keke and Okada would be getting stuck in that same traffic. There wouldn't be any difference in movement.
The future is bright.
