You cannot solve mass transportation in an already congested and overpopulated city like Lagos by sharing "uber taxis."

What do these silly politicians see when they travel abroad?

Don't they see an urban bus and ticketing system?

Don't they see dependable overhead and underground train systems?

Don't they see ferries and inland waterways transportation?

Are you going to convey all of Lagos in those cars? Adding even more traffic to an already congested city? If anything, a forward thinking government would be thinking of ways to get more cars off the roads of Lagos than more cars on it.

Apart from the fact that the money for most of those cars will never be recouped, this ride taxi scheme is a white elephant project that was established to enrich a few government officials by way of bogus contracts and free cars.

Good innovation but I hope it will be adequately maintained

The deplorable state of Lagos roads, coupled with traffic, is more than enough to wreck those cars within 6 months.

UBER and BOLT drivers can testify

Mr Sanwo-Olu should fix most of the inner roads in Lagos or is this not the roads that they always call for 'Road Worthlessness' papers every 6-months to bring in more revenue? How can Lagosians go to renew the road worthness when most of the roads are nothing to write home about?
We are not truthful to ourselves!

I prefer it to disappearing brt and temporary SUV.

You Igbos have to be eternally cursed from generation to generation just for thinking Yorubas as to patronize your miserable souls even with all the hate you have been exhibiting since 1960 that is aside the beta products available across the globe.

He even count me as igbo. Your heart has been consumed with bitterness and hatred in so much that any name that doesn't sound Yoruba,Hausa or Islam to you is Igbo...
