I don't know if this is the appropriate section for this topic...

I want to do a documentary on MOLUE buses and want to know if they're totally scrapped.

Like is there anyone left even if it's one and if so, where do they ply.

Thanks

I doubt they're totally scrapped. There's still few

I live in Lagos and have not seen any in years. I wonder where they are.

I think the question we should be asking is how their past owners scrapped them as I don't see them anymore. Those molues once defined the mainland

Go to Oshodi, you'll see a lot of them going and coming to and fro Sango, ilepo etc

The last one I saw was in Lagos on the Oshodi-Lagos/Abeokuta expressway route a few years and my jaws literally dropped in surprise. I think it's safe to say they've completely gone extinct and good riddance to that.

They are still there... But few. Not up to 5 in my opinion. From Oshodi to Sango

You will see few along oshodi to sango axis

Lol. 44 sitting 99 standing suffering and smiling. Everyday na the same thing suffering and smiling........

Yes, they look worse than the one in this picture and they still work surprisingly

They have been scrapped. Because I don't see them at Oshodi anymore. Back then they used to ply Oshodi - Sango route. Those market women would put basket of tomatoes in the front with the driver, the driver side didn't have a door, people will load the molue like kilode. To breathe sef go be problem because of different body odour fighting for oxygen with you.

And their drives then don't wear shirt, and they don't stop. I used to pursue them at Iyana IPaja to enter, the back conductors will pull you inside as the driver is firing.

They don't have break, as you jump in is how you would jump out when they reach your bus stop. Very anyhow suffer head bus. But they don't exist anymore in Lagos. BRT phased them out.

There are still few of them on Oshodi Iyana Ipaja Sango axis.

You will see it along iyana ipaja _ oshodi route.

They have been replaced with the modern BRT buses..

Dem still dey ooo. Come oshodi and see for yourself 😁 dem dey mostly go Sango

Tinubu made them obsolete.

That one at the back still full Lagos.. If you by mistake hit your leg inside the iron inside that bus,you will definitely see the moment you were being given birth to..

Depends on where you live in Lagos Molue still exist in some areas. I've stumbled on one of them in traffic as recently as a couple of weeks ago. I was going from Isolo to Abule Egba via Oshodi.

Den still dey.

Yes they’re still here from Sango to Oshodi

Very few anyway

It still exist, you'll see few along Oshodi-mile2 road.

its a lie. That's my route daily, I barely see them along that road . LT , danfoe & korope are dominant in the route you mentioned.

If you want to do such documentary, I would expect you to at least visit all the parks in Lagos and speak to the parks chairmen and secretaries. They are the ones that will have adequate information and data that will enhance your documentary.

Lagos is still full of stress, many are insane in that city

There are still few. I saw one during last festive period. Do documentary on danfo.. They are everywhere

Tinubu made them obsolete.

It not tinubu that made them obsolete
It is fashola with the introduction of brt

Molue .... the melting point of Lagos life.
This bus should be immortalized.

It is Tinubu.

Tinubu started the BRT lanes.

You thought he was constructing them to place molue on them?

From Oshodi to toll gate through Iyana Ipaja, you will see a lot of them. In the evening, a lot of them load at Ikeja Along. One shocking thing about them is that they hardly breakdown on the road

Seeing Molue still on Lagos roads is pure nostalgia 😄. Those buses carried generations of Lagosians and were the real definition of affordable transport back then. Even with BRT and modern buses now, Molue remains part of Lagos history and culture. Nice to know it hasn’t completely disappeared.
