In Ibadan here, taxes are still carrying normal passengers and you hardly see people wearing nose cover again

If not for some organization that still enforcing it, you will think that there is no Covid19 in ibadan.

No increment in TF

Ibadan people no mumu like Lagos people oo. 100percent hike for wetin

nothing is expensive it's just that you can't afford it,

I feel your pain,

when my new driver was indirectly using style to ask me to increase his salary, I knew something was wrong.

somebody that I pay 150k per month plus all the chuwa chwa. he uses my vehicle to run Uber, he inflate price of repair, and manufacture fault for the vehicle. using a Mercedes Benz Gguard to run Uber


I see but I pretend. that guy has almost completed his village home at my expense but I overlook.

truly things are very expensive in the market, there are still roadblocks on our highway, making logistics of food products expensive..

most people don't even go to their regular churches because of transportation cost.

from airport to maitaima Uber charged by boy 20k.
If you be woman, abeg come give me work under you. How much will u pay a service engineer? Pls dm

Doesn't exist in Lagos....transporters are catching the cruise of a lifetime at the detriment of commuters.

The bleeping mass transit buses Lagosians look to for succour are now leading the charge even competing with commercial Lagos buses.

Lagosians are the most resilient people I've encountered amidst all these crazy fairs they carry on like it doesn't matter.

Mumuness is what you tagged 'resilient'. People who just sit back and take every shii forced down their throat. People from other south west states are not this dense. They wouldn't dare board a bus for the prices I am reading now.

Those bus drivers are out of control. E no suppose worse like that, but they act as they wish. They started with 400naira from egbeda to oshodi which was initially 150 or 200 with 2 persons per seat, now they are enjoying the massive profit. They now take 500 naira to oshodi, 400 naira to Ikeja, with 3 persons or even 4 per seat. Can you just imagine? This Lagos sef

LBSL don increase fare too

Berger - Oshodi is 250naira as against 150naira pre covid 19 grin

Airlines are the most laughable. They claim they are practicing social distancing but their seats are all booked, no single empty seat yet the fare is hiked!
They make it appear as if wearing face mask and having your laugage sprayed with unknown substance is all there is to keep the C- virus at bay!
Passenger waiting area is properly spaced but inside, nah, money does not maintain social distancing.

Not easy, the transport fare hike is really taking a toll, imagine you withdraw some cash, and you want to go somewhere, by the time you are back there is nothing left, i hardly go anywhere these days, wonder how it is for people using public transport to and fro everyday, it is well

Re: Social Distancing In Vehicles: How Are You Coping With Transportation Fare?? by femmyAdagba(m): 12:11pm On Sep 01, 2020
This is a sensitive and very important topic and I appreciate the opinionist.
Transportation in Lagos is now getting out of hands.
Imagine someone navigating Ipaja to Costain spending 1,200 daily.
That's over 25k monthly ON TRANSPORTATION TO WORK ONLY. And that someone earns around 50 to 60k. What is left? And other bills must run.

I initially applauded the State Government when I heard the commissioning of the New BRT Buses, but I later felt disappointed because ITS NOT FOR THE MASSES.

Why should regular big buses be initially carrying Ojota, Ketu, Mile 12 for btw N50 to N100 and you pay btw N150 to N200 for Ikorodu


But a GOVERNMENT OWNED TRANSPORT SCHEME would tell you to pay N300 FOR ANY BUS STOP (INCLUDING ANTHONY and Ojota)?
Same applies to various routes.

OOR GOVERNMENT have encouraged small buses to carry Oshodi to Ojota for N300 because that's the price the STATE OWNED BRT is carrying it

The Oshodi - Abule Egba bus is also N300 for all bus stops (including Ikeja Along)
Abule Egba that before, as at February, March N100 can transport one with the regular buses ESPECIALLY THE BIG BUSES.

And you need to see how the LASTMA and State TASK FORCE are frustrating the regular transporters in the State. I witnessed one recently and I shake my heads for how Satan would use some human beings for firewood for hell fire.
It is the Agberos that determine the transport fare for a particular trip.
I made research and I found out that Transport fare would have been cheaper IF THERE WERE NO IMPOSED FEES ON THE TRANSPORTERS.
They even settle Law enforcement Agents.

When you go to some states, N50 - N100 would be paid for distance of several Kilometers but reverse is the case in Lagos State especially.

Even Ikeja to Berger BRT that used to be N100 is now N150

I wonder how much they will transport the Masses from Oshodi to Ilasa that the regular buses used to carry for N50 Naira including Cele Express which was recently increased to N100 Naira

In a nutshell, this government is mostly for the rich thereby inflicting hardship on its citizens / residents.
Whenever I think about this country, I almost submit to PROBABLY GOD DELIBERATELY RAISING SOME LEADERS TO DEAL WITH NIGERIANS.
Because name anything or scheme the Government is bringing up which is not to extort from citizens and they spend resources on both necessary and unnecessary expenses.

I understand the heat associated with leadership positions, but I think Public office holders need to be mentored by Alhaji Lateef Jakande, the First Executive Governor of Lagos State. Because the man was a man of the masses AND ANY GOVERNOR IS YET TO BEAT HIS ACHIEVEMENTS SINCE THE 80'S

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is another example and Babatunde Raji Fashola.
But they are still behind Alhaji Jakande.

I wish I could have a discuss with the current Governor so that I can speak for the masses as a result of the hardship people are going through.

But the Summary is that WE SHALL ALL RENDER OUR ACCOUNT OF STEWARDSHIP TO GOD AFTER OUR SOJOURN ON EARTH and we shall receive our reward meticulously

This topic is still on Transportation,, not housing, Electricity, food, Healthcare, etc.

It is well with our so-called Government oh
