The number one problem is the agboros, those has done more harm than good here in lagos and for now that their master is on top, we still have a longer way to go

May the good lord help reasonable Nigerians not those paid supporters of demonic politicians.
Switch to train where possible

The billions of Naira to be made in the Lagos transportation business, government just need to make use of the opportunity, you don’t even need any illegal tax to make money in Lagos, just establish a good train system, simply copy London template, build the train round the state, not every state have the potential for this, Lagos population is a huge advantage

This can also be used to monitor the people and improve security as you can always check people movement routines

It will benefit the state a lot

When I asked one citing that fuel is now cheaper and Tfare should drop, he said other components like spare parts and tax levy are not dropping. So we should not expect any fare reductions anytime soon.

What I'm pissed off about is the Lagos BRT system. Once it was a Pinnacle of intra City movement..buses were available, with AC and WiFi.
The government of the day falled to develop on that system.. Maintenance was zero. There more broken down brt buses than active ones on the road. Even the operators of the franchise..most of their buses have become so rickety..just like Molue of old.
Go-to Oshodi at nighttime..you'll see thousands of commuters waiting for the few brt buses still operating....same in Agric, Sabo, Fadeyi etc .
It's a shame how we run systems in this country..

Lagos Govt should expand BRT services. This is what NLC should be advocating for not withdraw of Tax Reforms
Where is Lagos state government expanding BRT services to?

Even if it had to expand BRT services, Should Lagos state government wait for labour to advocate for it first?

Is the Lagos government not responsible for overseeing the activities of road transporters or that function has been permanently ceded to Oluomo?
Re: Crazy Transport Fares In Lagos by Gerrard59(m): 6:03pm On Jan 01, 2025
An attractive benefit for workers by companies is to offer paid transport to the nearest landmark to the closest station to the company's premises. The problem would be the inconsistencies in prices.

Lagos needs a mass train network. Nothing else.

Are you aware that BRT does not really operate the different routes but the BRT routes have been shared and are controlled by certain people in Lagos?

Actually it's not just fuel. Servicing parts of vehicles is more than 600% high from the past two years to now. Engine oil is so expensive....the cheapest engine oil is about 18k for 4 litres and that's the newly introduced NNPC oil . Oil like Mobil 1000 etc are in the rate of 29k for 4litres and 32k for 5litres....then talk about thyroids, ball joints, lower arms, shock absorber, brake pads etc ...if you need to replace these parts....just hold like 160 to 300k depending on the type of cars..... It's terrible in Nigeria to be a car owner this time....

Igando to ikeja by brt is 500
Yellow bus will charge 1000

If you are in lagos use brt and train more than public transport they are individual own and it’s for profit
Re: Crazy Transport Fares In Lagos by davidtemi(m): 6:29pm On Jan 01, 2025
I dnt use to calculate my transport fare again, I just pay as dey call price of not hbp fit kill person untimely. Imagine normal 300 transport turned 2k just like dat and nobody is doing/saying anything abt it.
Re: Crazy Transport Fares In Lagos by Omoluabi16(m): 6:29pm On Jan 01, 2025

Re: Crazy Transport Fares In Lagos by alezzy13: 6:37pm On Jan 01, 2025
Honestly Lagos rates are totally crazy. How can Ikaja to Palmgrove they charging 700!!! Haba!! shocked

Bolt just within Ikeja is 4000-5000 depending on the period.

Am not based here but visit once a while, and must confess compared to other states, the rates here are ridiculous to say the least.

As if you do not know who owns brt, even the buses ambode bought to equip a proper lagos state government owned brt, immediately he was kicked out of the race, the new gov handed over the newly bought buses to the wuruwuru brt operator.

After 8yrs of Tinubu, many would become poorer.
