Abeg mk dem reduce it to150

The day any ipob or Obidient step foot on this train is the day I will believe indeed the ipob tribe is the most foolish tribe on the face of Earth though Uwazirike declared so before but I do not believe so. I am w aiting patiently for Ipob not to enter train that was being pushed with hand.

They should have a day travel card of maybe 500.00 for the whole day.

Why? Is that how much they pay in the west?

U pay according to your economy. U don’t expect what they pay in china and India to anywhere what we pay in the uk

A good palliative from the government would have been to subsidize the transport sector especially in Lagos and Abuja instead of the small rice and oil handouts they're giving.

Excellent idea

It should be valid for BRT too for the day

Who decides that our economy should fix it at 500? What indices would we use to do an empirical analysis and comparism?

If you live in Lagos, you would have known The Transport Fare On BRT have been slash

don't mind that educated illiterate

The topic is about train fare and some underdeveloped animal mentions igbos on some random tangent? Hilarious.

They should charge the amount that will make then function effectively.

agulion:
Local Yoruba Muslims miscreants ,those unity begars will always want igbos to be in their mist

Tribalists are not hard to know


The topic is Railway launching

answer simple question

We have both. Per trip a certain figure, e.g buses in London are 1.75 per trip within an hour. That means u can touch in 3 buses as long as it is within d hour. After an hour u pay another 1.75.

Trains is about 2.00 per trip.

Meanwhile for 12.00 u can buy a travel card that covers buses and trains in London for a whole day, up till 12:00

How did you arrive at that figure

Does it have any basis in logic or rationality?

You pay according to the cost of construction and maintenance

The line is built with loans denominated in dollars

Where will the money to repay the loan and maintain the service come from if not from those using the service?

They have proven this over and over through the decades

Are you answering that one? He didn't ask how much is minimum wage in that west he is referring to. Illiteracy no good

How much is minimum wage in that west you are referencing to

You tell me.

Subsidizing the fare of transportation is by far better than that useless cups of rice they decieve you guys with

Timoleon:
You tell me.

Its 30k per month, you expect workers who receive 30k salary to pay 750 per trip. The train is indirectly made for the rich. No staff that earns 100k can comfortably pay that fare tro and fro

what exactly is the matter with you people! why are you so pained that Ndigbo had the nerve to call out the fulani/yoruba conspiracy to render them 2nd class citizens in a country they help to establish! The establishment of ESN was the one that finally finshed you people! You prefer to read in the papers that fulanis have wasted another 100 innocent Igbo persons......You have no idea how audacious Ndigbo can be! just continue with your hate.......

Please stay on topic. By what indices do we do the calculations so we can come up with h the right price. No be everything dem Dey pour emotions. I’m sure you can’t point any post of mine talking about palliatives let alone advocating for it.

How has the person been going to work? The old trains that are rickety and usually filled to the brim have been 700 since April.

750 for which route, abeg?
Tani àti Tani, Níwájú Tani?

Just look at this fool.
Igbos have nerve to call out a project in Yoruba land n you are not worried about the hypocrisy n foolishness of same Igbo not being able to call out project in Alaigbo ?!

Please tell me why you should not be flogged to your doom ? Just one reason.

How do you plan to maintain or expand it, if you are charging below cost? I'm sure you still want the people to work there to get paid like their counterparts in the west. You just have to choose one. You can't have it both ways.
