This transport companies are very unprofessional and don't know how Government contracts works

They don't pay you upfront

The concept is simple

Transport fare goes higher during yuletide because Passengers Traffic is one way, they travel to Villages and nobody returns to city till January

This makes Transport companies loose on return trips with empty busses

Now Tinubu is giving them 50% to cover loss on return trips, for passengers to also get 50% discount

It's better to be safe than sorry

They won't lift any passenger at 50% discount until government pays these companies

Its not Mr president who pays directly & transport companies are afraid the people responsible for disbursing the fund might swallow it after the end of contract. Many pensioners got their money trapped with PTAD for more than 10yrs ago.

Transport companies ain't fools

Well how do you expect FG to also pay for passengers not yet lifted, should they issue blanket cheques

You must always find ways to defend failure.

Thus the problem with subsides.

The thing is, this is something that needs a year's preparation. You got to register the bus companies, and decide how many passengers they would carry so that it would be covered in the budget. Eventually one has to do things like completely computerize the process...so that we know exact numbers of who enters a bus for travelling.

Bus companies in Nigeria have hefty running costs. Telling them to carry passengers at half cost without paying them is a hard ask.

Proper planing

It can even help future transport policy

50% transport reduction isn't scam

Atleast it had commenced on rail, while Luxury bus companies await further engagement
