BRT Bus Kills 2 People In Lagos by Nobody: 9:28am On Sep 30, 2020
At the early hours of 30th September, 2020, an accident occurred at Abdul moruf, close to Pleasure, between Iyana Ipaja and Ile Epo. This allegedly lead to the death of two Lagosians on a bike.

According to eye witness report, a bike man and his passenger commuted along the newly constructed BRT express lane and was met with an untimely death as a result of a collison with a BRT bus.

This incident enraged other bike men and in hasty retaliation attacked the bus and vandalised the mercedes benz BRT until the police came to control the situation.

Prior to this incident, the government of Lagos State had banned the use of bikes in the state. However, this new rule has not completely adhered to; as some bike still ply the roads, and the people of Lagos patronize them. Consequently, bikes caught on the road were also seized but these defaulters have found a way of getting their bikes back, after they ‘settle’ the task forces in charge.

WHO IS TO BLAME?

• The bike men whose means of livelihood had been taken from them and their families? Who are looking for means to survive?

• The BRT driver who might have been careless in his driving?

• The task forces who seize bikes and later release them after being ‘settled’?

• Lagosians who still patronize bikes even as they know the disadvantages and dangers of doing so?

We await the response of the Governor, his Excellency, Babajide Sanwo-Olu concerning this issue. We must remember that the change we want must begin with us.

Bus Rapid Transport/transit


Nigeria and avoidable deaths...


Why are Lagosians acting very foolish?! BRT is a metro Transport lane, keep off BRT lane completely just as you keep off train tracks.... BRT busses are designed to speed off just like metro light trains , Tramcars and they can't clutct and brake easily

If Sawonolu will just put 25% of the energy he used to campaign during 2019 into use, Lagos will be far better than this. The city is so lawless, garbage everywhere, insecurity growing with touts harassing people everyday on Lagos streets. Oga Sawonolu, please roll up your sleeves and do the work. You made so much noise during your campaign but your action is now far below expectations.

If truly it was a STOLEN MOTORCYCLE. Then the miserable death is well deserved of them but on the other hand, no one deserved a painful death so Rest In Peace to the deceased. Lagos is getting more scary these days.
Meanwhile; I’m missing someone like oven misses oxygen. Torie8 where have you been? And I hardly read Pettyprincess comments lately. Is everything going well with you?

Re: BRT Bus Kills 2 People In Lagos by sheedy407(m): 12:05pm On Sep 30, 2020
In as much that the accident claimed two souls, some facts are:


First,the BRT was plying on her dedicated road which was designed for only BRT to ply

Motorcycles (Okada) have been banned in Lagos,even if there were not banned,they have no business plying BRT lanes,even it's illegal for those in forces like soldiers nor police to ply the BRT ROAD

The BRT lanes is very narrow and I believe that the driver might have tried all his best to navigate away from the motorcycle but since the road is narrow,the unfortunate happened.

Just my little cent but what do I know?
