Commercial bus drivers in Lagos have become something else. The high degree of substance taken is immeasurable. My kindly advice to anyone going to island please if possible try to avoid boarding all these 18 seater bus. It's the home of death.

It all happened last year towards the end of the year. I was coming from an island around 8pm because I closed last at work that day. There was a Bus I met on the line loading, I looked around there was no sign of a driver. After the Motor boy had collected all the passengers' Money, he left looking for the driver up and down. There was a lot of drama that day, but fast forward to the third mainland bridge on two occasions, the driver almost ran into another vehicle. The guy sitting at the front with the confrontation of all the passengers forced the driver to stop on the third mainland bridge, and the guy sitting at the front was asked to collect the wheel from him. We later noticed that the guy was heavily drunk with a lot of additional sachets of hot drinks in his pocket. I was just praying that day that God would see me through to the Alapere Estate Bus stop, and God answered my prayer. Coming to my Bus stop I just dropped Jeje. I don't know the end of the story. My observation is that most of those 18-seater buses loading from the island, especially at night, always take substances before mounting the wheel. This was not my first time witnessing this kind of thing. May God continue to guide us.

This has been active for months now..
Don't go over 100km/hr on that bridge..
You'll surely get ticket of 50k.
And it will multiply as you contrnue.
Nah, it's 80km/hr not 100. Same goes for Alapere/ Ogudu axis.

Good afternoon.
The size and the number of passengers each can contain at once is the major difference.

Korope can contain only 7 to make 8 with the driver!

Danfo on the other hand can contain 13-14 to make 15 with the driver!
