Tapping might be old but it is better than the UK's method. We use the tapping method in Belgium. A single ticket lasts for an hout, that means you can join another bus with the same ticket instead of buying another ticket

Nice One. Am not sure of the number 2 though. I drove from Enugu to Lagos on 27 of Dec, really tired so I decided to park my car at a friend's place somewhere in Magodo. The following morning I took Keke to Ketu to join the BRT to VI. I bought the ticket that was issued to me electronically few minutes past 7am, but the bus didn't show up on time so I bought another ticket for 120k cos I was in a hurry with the hope that I can use it as return ticket. To my amazement the Ticketer refused to allow me to board cos my ticket has expired. I even asked her to check the time it was issued she refused bluntly. That was around few minutes past two pm same day oooo. My brother the ticket follow me back to the East...uselessly

...so, itz because of thez blue BRT buses that the Lagos state government hav devised several means to frustrate the people of Ikorodu so as to patronise their buses?


...Since they opened the BRT lanes frm mile12 to ikorodu, they'v barred the Red BRT buses from using it. Getting to mile12, down to tbs, they'v also restricted d former blue buses...

Now, they are carrying out a repaving @ mile12. Instead of them to bring in ready-made paves and install there due to the volume of traffic around there, they brought in the cement mixer truck & barricaded the road that isnt wide enuf... Imagine, boarding red BRT frm Igbogbo it took more than four hours to get to Ikeja. As if itz not enuf, they now altered the traffic light @ ogolonto, making the traffic every evening to extend beyond NNPC & SO filling stations - sometin we neva saw since the road was upgraded. Must we all patronise your buses?
The buses u provided is like 1/10th of what we need....


Whosoeva is responsible for this sh*t is CURSED!

Addicted2Women:
I wanna know how people in Lagos get their BRT bus ticket.
Here in the U.S when you get into the bus you put in the exact money into the machine inside the bus and the machine will give you a ticket which will last for 1 day.

Or you can go to the bus station and buy any type of ticket you want, a day ticket or a week ticket or a month ticket.

ify2016:
Most times,the rate at which some passengers behave while boarding BRT buses are so alarming that some go to the extent of sleeping, thereby forgetting when they have gotten to their initial destinations.
Ever since the operation of the fully new air conditioned buses within Lagos metropolitan city began, virtually 99% percent of Lagosians have resorted in patronizing them; maybe due to comfort and subsidized transport fare.
So, because of several complaints by passengers, I have personally made out time to advise people on what do avoid while patronizing this new BRT buses.
1: DON'T JUMP THE QUEUE: Please, no matter how placed in the society you may be, kindly respect yourself and abide by the queue order. Most times when you see a long queue, just wait patiently until it get to your turn. Any attempt by violating this order may lead to your harassment either by the long awaited passengers or security guards. Just humble yourself and vamoose from the area because you won't believe how much insult you will receive.
2: DON'T BUY TICKET AHEAD OF NEXT DAY: Funny as it may sound, some people most times buy ticket ahead of next day without knowing that it expires 24hrs of purchase. This is to avoid dubious means by few hands in printing tickets that has similar resemblance with the new one. As soon as you purchase your ticket, bear in mind that you can't use it the next day.
3: TRANS LOADING: Many a times passengers complain that why should Busman take them into another bus without proper information. Please, bear in mind that busmen don't apply all rout withing their jurisdictions. If you are told to alight so that you will transfered to the next bus going to Ikorodu for instance, just be patient and allow the Busman to do so. In the absent of bus man action, kindly bring on the attention of security personnel within the premises for easy trans load.
4: DON'T FORGET TO PRESS ALIGHT BUTTON: I know that sometimes air condition bus or car makes someone sleep, but please no matter how weak you may be, just inform anyone next to you to alert you when thet get to certain bus stop. This is to avoid the story that touches the heart. Kindly press the warning bell before the bus stop and press the second time 6 seconds before your final destination.
5: DON'T FORGET YOUR BELONGINGS: Why on earth should some people even forget foodstuff they went to market to buy with their hard earn money. One handsome guy was telling me the other day that he forgot his CPU and the said he forgot his Laptop. Some women even forget hand bag with many things on it. Please, try and keep your belongings like a baby with you to avoid the story that touches the heart. Most of the strong reported lost times have not been found maybe because some criminals near to the victim who may have taken advantage of that situation.
6: DON'T FORGET TO TAP OUT WHEN ALIGHTING: Some people are so careless that immediately they alight they forget to tap out. Please, the card you are using can help you mar you if you are careful. As soon as get you your final destination, just kindly tap out because failure to do so will amount to your balance being withdrawn. I don't know why it is so but as soon as you get your card, don't fail to tap out because you might see your account empty next time.

I believe that,with this little information ,you can enjoy a smooth journey withing Lagos metropolitan city.

Dhavido:
Please, what is the cost of the BRT bus card?

ify2016:
Just call it top up card.

You can get it either at Majidun LAMATA office or Mile 12 BRT terminal. Ask either the Ticketers or Head of Operations. But according to a reliable source , very soon every passenger will be expected to have card each which will be made available to the banks.

Yes. your information will be used to register it for purpose of theft or complaint.

Yes . 250 naira is just the amount the card is sold. You can top up with any amount. May be 1k,5h etc.

Yes. If you have any evidence of ownership, you will be provided with new one with a token.
Bye. Ask me any question anytime.

Panelbeater:
And don't forget to watch out for the digital boards at the front of the buses to know it's exact stopping point. e.g
Ikorodu-TBS, Ikorodu-Fadeyi, Mile12-CMS e.t.c
