Inflation affects every prices

Thank God Bola Ahmed Tinubu Jagaban created the only Metro Rapid Bus system in Nigeria, atleast the masses won't feel the effects of the global crude oil increase


Anambra people without any meaningful mass transit system would come and wail now, even when PitObi invested their destiny in SABMiller brewery and heros beer


Suddenly the people of Abia State and Enugu State under Ikpeazu Kerosine and Mrs Ugwuanyi are celebrating PDP Victory in Osun because Osun now has a fat dancing man like their state as manager of resources

.

Have you been to Anambra state before ?what is wrong there they are doing very very well compare to other state am not an Igbo person but I give kudos to Igbo........we all can not do things or think thesame way

Sh when they ban okada, they were celebrating, not knowing that the government will look for a way to recover the revenue, they are losing from the ban.

Government are making lot of money from sells of ticket to the okada riders. Now okada is no longer there, they have to put the difference on BRT

Nothing is constant. Fares are still fairly cheap. Less than a dollar.

If an American or European on minimum wage spends 10% (2k fro on 20k minimum wage in Nigeria) or on average wage 2-5% just daily on transport alone,there would have been assassination attempts on the life of the American president and all democratic western governments would have been toppled!

That's not true even if you live in the central area.

Bus or cab from the suburbs of Nyanyan or karu, Zuba or Gwagalada axis is about N250 and you are not even half of your journey outside your

area. Please lets be honest with the truth.

Lagos people dey try o. How can they even put more buses on the road when there is no space. The whole place is congested. Here in Abuja, that N500 can take me to work and back on a normal taxi.

beautyhd:
Sanwo Olu actually approved the 100 naira increase for BRT, this is not bad based on the price of diesel.

This is fair enough.

Get sense

How much do you make per day?

The 100 Naira increment is needed to finance BAT’s personal ambition.

Monopoly Power in Action, they destroyed the private transport operators to impose this lastma, now they are a monopoly and can increase price whenever they want as they face no competition, many women have been raped and killed in their buses , service availability and delivery is very poor, yet they increase prices anytime they like with no recourse to the passengers.

Your sycophancy is puerile.
Why did your Thiefnuibu tin god fail to provide light rail since 1999, even though Jakande's construction was cancelled by his APC Bubu messiah when he was a military dictator in 1984? 23 years of looting smart Lagosians silly with nothing to show for it.

Splashme:
The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.

Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.

The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.

Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”

The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.

Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.

He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

TTC in talks to sell old trains to Lagos. Are they safe enough?
AUGUST 10, 2011

As Toronto trainspotters gleefully take maiden rides on the TTC's Rocket, commuters in Lagos, Nigeria may be about to get some new trains of their own. Our old ones.

A TTC spokesperson has confirmed that the commission is negotiating with a private group to sell up to 260 used train cars to the West African megacity's new transit project.

"I can confirm that the TTC is in discussion with a third party that wants to purchase trains for Lagos," said commission spokesperson Brad Ross. "Over a period of time, they will be taken out of service and then transported over to Nigeria."

The cars being considered for sale are the TTC's old H-5 and H-6 models, which will be decommissioned as the TTC rolls out its new fleet of Rockets. Ross predicts the earliest they could be shipped to Nigeria is sometime in 2012.

Traffic snarls are already a major economic problem in the Nigerian capital, a booming city that will reach an estimated population of 25 million by 2015. A new above-ground rail system designed to carry 1.5 million people a day has already broken ground, and Lagos Governor Babtunde Fashola has said it "will be the most multi-dimensional and most impactful" of the government's efforts to reduce traffic congestion.

Fashola visited Toronto earlier this year to inspect the TTC trains.

The Lagos deal would be the first of its kind for the TTC. Decommissioned cars are usually sold for scrap metal and can fetch up to $1,500 dollar each. While Ross declined to discuss specific figures, he says the sticker price for Lagos is "significantly more" than scrap prices, putting the potential profits to the TTC in the millions of dollars.

It is not unusual for technology from western nations to end up in poorer countries. Marketplaces in Africa and Asia are flooded with North American clothes, computers, and even cars, but the purchase of larger technology like trains is rarer.

The cars will have to be significantly refurbished to fit existing infrastructure in Lagos, and some Nigerian media reports have lamented that the government appears to have settled on "tokundo," or used, trains instead of brand new vehicles.

Although half the cars are more than 30 years old, Ross is adamant they are perfectly safe and are only being decommissioned for capacity reasons. But he also admitted the TTC is not required to make sure the cars meet any safety standards before selling them.

"Once sold, it's up to the new operator to ensure they are in good working order," he said. "They do need to be maintained much more frequently than the new trains, simply because of their age. At some point they will run out their useful life."

Murtaza Haider, director of the Institute of Housing and Mobility at Ryerson University, said the age of the cars is definitely a cause for concern.

"We should be ensuring that there is some service life left in these vehicles and we're not going to be playing havoc with the lives of those who would ride these vehicles," Haider said. "There's metal fatigue, and that metal fatigue could result in dangerous conditions. I would be paying a close watch on this for the next ten years to see how many accidents do happen in Lagos."

He also warned that while rail systems are glamorous as far as transit infrastructure goes, they are not always as effective at reducing congestion as other options. Nevertheless, new rail systems are frequently preferred because governments can take advantage of kickbacks from large contracts.

According to media reports, the cost estimates for the Lagos rail project have varied wildly from $1.2 billion to $30 billion. In 2010, a Nigerian government watchdog accused Fashola's government of widespread corruption.

"More often than not, politicians favour rail transit because it is more expensive," Haider said. "It's almost useless in some cases, and less productive in most cases, than a bus system. But you can't buy busses for $30 billion. You can inflate prices and make a lot of money buying a rail system."

Stop that stupid comparison. What is the standard of living with people that uses dollar and Naira respectively? Fairy cheap you say, not knowing that the minimum wage is even lower than 30k for even some people with families. You guys always sound selfish and evil not considering that a huge population of Nigerians are passing through my difficult time. An average poor American can afford to eat a full chicken everyday but an average Nigerian whole family may always find it hard. A bus pass in the US is between $2 to $3 depending on where you are going if you are paying cash and this is affordable even for the poor. People buy monthly or weekly bus pass either card or through app and is all time far cheaper despite the gas increases after almost six years

I don't see anything wrong with the increment....But they need to provide more buses.....

Apart from that, deisel was N280 and now increased to N1,000 they should just make more buses available for people so that they can get to their destination on time.

All this rubbish needs to stop and let Emefiele resign !!!!!!!!

the has fully done his best at wrecking the country financially with this government.

Shio!!!
