The economy never gets better, just adjust yourself.
The economy got better for 16 years of widespread prosperity under PDP’s deregulation and privatisation policies.

How many times have LASG gave discount on their transport system? Of what percentage? Did you praise them then before ranting now?
Why should I praise LASG for the discounts, when I don't praise the UK Government and the Greater London Authority for subsidizing the London public transport system, I use daily?

Which kind wickedness is this again? shocked You no longer power your AC, you now carry over load, no hike in price of fuel yet you are increasing your price.
Inflation is the killer.
Said it a thousand times.
You cannot successfully run an economy with double digit inflation. It is what is making all government intervention go up in smoke. Like pouring water on hot coals.

This is the issue all serious governments of the world take on a war footing. They strive to cool down the economy by RIGHT spending. Spending ONLY on the factors of PRODUCTION, the critical things that matter.

Look at the human body. When you experience trauma such as serious blood loss the brain immediately constricts blood from the extremities and less important organs one by one until the brain itself is overwhelmed.

But as long as government continues to waste on irrelevant issues and things the cost of living and doing business will continue to remain high and recovery on the streets a mirage.

What is the condemnation in that?

You are so infused with sycophancy that you expect every other person to give nod at very policy of the government.

Sycophancy is not patriotism.

This is just the beginning by next year after the election una go hear from APC.

All forms of taxes will be rolling out because they have to discover the money they spent during election.

Those that want power to be in the hands of these politicians should not complain.

Don't mind that guy. He thinks everybody is a foooool.
During PDP era we had good ministers and most of them were professionals in their own field.

It's tough to see prices going up again, but the rising costs for spare parts and maintenance are clearly hitting the transport sector hard.
Re: Lagos Approves 13% Fare Hike For BRT by omotayocaleb(m): 9:52am On Feb 24
Let's be honest, is there any justification for this increment? Since the last increamnet there has been a relatively stable price of every component of transporttation especially the dollar; even fuel is coming down, so what's the basis? It's just so sad. now election will come they will play price reduction for votes.

Lagos state has been reducing transportation price for long now that they want to increase, it shouldn't be a news except from the mischievous people

13% increase shouldn't be a big deal or
This is not true and you know it. Last hike was 18% effective 17th feb, 2025. There has been no reduction till this current hike to take effect 2nd march, 2026.

The challenge is that whenever BRT hikes their fare, danfo automatically does same and the riple effects spreads to everything.

when the purpose of election- which is the process of electing credible leaders is defeated through rigging and electoral malpractices, the criminal politicians will no more have any obligation to implement policies that can favour the masses, or for the welfare of the masses, because with all their hostile policies against the citizens, they will still maintain their political positions and structures.
APC is real evil.
Nigerians must come out and vote out this i don't care government and must be ready to defend the votes. That is the only way to stand against these bullies in power.

Depending on the route, should be between ₦78 to ₦117 increase. That's an average of ₦98 per trip, approximately ₦4,116 per month on a 21 working days month average.

Not much agreed. However, if the individual has not experienced any increase in salary, it can be major to that individual. Think about it.

If not traffic, what concern us with BRT
Even normal bus is now cheaper or at the same rate
But BRT will load people as if we are coming from refugee camp.
32 seats, they will now load over 40 as standing and collect same money as those sitting. Congesting the whole space and there is no AC
Only God go safe us in this country

So Madridguy na BRT be your transport mechanism, you no even get car and you dey support evil wicked government?
The reason people use BRT is not because they don't have car
BRT has dedicated lanes that other cars or vehicles don't pass
So to avoid spending 2hours in a normal road with your car to place you can just use BRT and it will be like 30mins
That's the only advantage
