Covid-19 Social Distancing: Commercial Drivers Milking The Passengers by Nobody: 7:42pm On May 13, 2020 |
From Offa here, a colleague had to go to Ilorin this afternoon. We got to the park and we were told that the transport fare is now #800, four passengers in a car. Before the pandemic, Offa-Ilorin (Kwara State) costs just #300. An increment of #500 per person. And normally, the maximum a commercial car could convey at a time is just six passengers. I did the calculation, #300 to #800, I can't just understand why we would have to exploit fellow people so much. How is transport in your state? |

The case is different here in Lagos especially for places I ply very well. Before implementation of lockdown in commercial buses and after. Ogba busstop to Ikeja was N100/ 7 seaters mini bus, Now it's N150/5 seats, meaning the driver gained just N50 more than before. Ogba bustop to College was N50/4 seats keke maruwa Now it's N100/2 seats, meaning the driver gained nothing more than before. Ogba to Oshodi was N200/17 seats big yellow bus, Now it's N250/ 9 seats, meaning the driver lose about N1250. So far in Lagos the drivers have been fair. |
