PILOT SCHEME: This initiative is still at the Pilot Stage, a lot of data gathering will still be done in comparison with the existing BRT system, this means few electric buses will be added to the BRT fleet, it will carry passengers normally, use BRT Lane, Cowry card etc.

COMPARING NOTES: Information from Lagos Bus Services Limited (LBSL) shows that an average BRT uses about 200km per day (at maximum). The new Electric buses has the ability to travel 280km at full charge, So don’t be afraid, the bus won’t get stuck on 3rd Mainland as speculated 😀

CAPACITY & SECURITY: Each Bus has 3 CCTV Cameras in it, It has a capacity to carry 40 Passengers and has room for standing too to accommodate more. There is also a ramp (for wheelchair) for People Living with Disabilities (PWDs).

MAINTENANCE: As Stated earlier, the buses being used for this Pilot Scheme will be moving from the normal Facility where BRTs are maintained, only basic maintenance will be needed (tyre change etc), the vehicle has no radiator or regular engines like the normal BRT bus.

FUTURE: Once the Pilot Scheme shows all the positive signs as expected, asides from bringing more buses into the fleet of the regular BRTs, there are plans to establish an Assembly Plant for Electric Buses in future in this our Lagos State.

One FACT I forgot to add to the electric bus thread I did, the bus has an electromagnetic brake system, meaning once the bus is in traffic, as u press the break small small, it recharges the battery powering the bus, it maintains the energy and u have nothing to worry about ⚡️🚎

Nice one.

That's not my problem, they should freaking fix the Eko Bride (Apongbong) and open it. Why TF does repairs takes 100 years in Nigeria?

Ijora Olopa is close, plus Eko bride. .. Imagine the frustrations in traffic.

Ajah to Costain fxcking 7 hours

Thank you for this, cause we know how to buy new stuff but never consider how to maintain it, Give the bus 2years you will hear different story .

Sabadon:

Sanwo-Olu has done exceeding well. I'm beginning to admire President Tinubu, man has a knack for working with competent and intelligent fellows.

Very nice

Impressive

Beautiful idea.

Our problem from time in memorial is maintenance and continuity
What happened to the red buses and old blue buses ?
Even the new blue buses are also looking rickety already.

Nice development

This is nice.
