@ Mr Motor man, d BRT terminal at Dopemu is one hell of a place especially on Monday mornings. Either d buses cease to exist or the mgt of BRT don't release d buses on these days.
most times it takes d buses interval of 2hrs to arrival meaning that means ppl must ve queued for more than 2hrs before boarding any bus.
Again, dia terminal at Yaba, Opposite NIMR building is always a ghost arena in d afternoon/evening wen there r supposed to b buses to convey back to houses.
BRT system really needs to b restructured
My Brother we experience this in Ikorodu too, sometimes I stand till I get to Ojota where I alight. It is always crazy on weekdays especially peak periods and dem no dey free release bus. The most annoying part is when you get to the Ikorodu Terminal around 12pm, you'd have to wait till 1:30 - 2pm because the drivers who did Morning shift would rather take Empty buses back to the Terminal to go wait for those they'll hand over to for Afternoon duty. Those ones of course usually come late making we passengers wait for hours, i usually dread leaving home at that time. If I must leave home at that time, I take those TATA bus instead.

It is, Sundays are always peaceful. No rushing whatsoever. I usually stay back for like 2mins sef and wave to the GSD at the terminal.

BRT for Lagos na rubbish. Uncoordinated and very unprofession . You buy ticket From 100miles away and cue endlessly for bus that may never come. And if you don't use your ticket within seconds of delay it bcoms trash. This is,not BRT its is rubbish transit program. Let than overhaul the ticketing to be orderly and bus routing time as done in UK. Kapish!

Last week we asked if TBS Bus Station is the best in terms of structure, facilities, security etc and the answer we got is quite overwhelming. To some, it's a foolish question as there is no basis for comparison, and to some, they felt Ikeja BRT Bus Station stands close to it. We are at Muson Centre for an event and luckily, we closed during the rush hour and decided to take an assessment of our wonderful TBS BRT Bus station and what we see are these:

1. The buses were nowhere to be found, once it gets 3pm, its as if the buses went into hiding, we had a chat with one of the security as to what is keeping them and he said they were held up on Eko Bridge, Eko Bridge links from TBS to Costain in the mainland and from Costain up to Jibowu, Onipanu etc so they spend at least 45 to 50mins in traffic which causes the bus station to be full of people.

2. There are no official in charge to control the crowd
One would have thought that an official at least should ensure that the queue is maintained and the passengers are line orderly but it seems the officials got tired of standing and they decide to take a stroll

3. The ticketers were very rude
I don't know what to call this maybe they were overwhelmed due to the flock of people or maybe they are fasting or they are hungry, the manner at which some of these ticketers attend to people is below par as it seems they have found a clique to be rude to passengers. While we understand that people are difficult to please especially Lagosians, at least some decorum ought to be put in place to explain yourself and also made them understand you have no smaller denominations.

4. Refreshment
I noticed it was boldly written that sellers, hawkers were not allowed in the park but someone would have expected that an alternative will be provided, we stood for almost 30mins and yours truly was seriously hungry, we have no choice than to stroll out and get something outside the premises. In as much as we support the motion, those lock up kiosk should be open for business to cater for these needs.

5. Maintenance of the bus
While we give kudos to the operator of the fleet of the BRT for doing an excellent job in making sure the buses were always neat and also making sure passengers have a stress free journey, we felt its time they start thinking of ways to curb the water on the roof of the buses and this is a result of the AC in the bus, but apart from that they did well in that area.

Above all, we will rate them 70%

@Op, I don't know the basis for 70% score on maintenance. Roof of the buses are rotting away. The hand grip for those standing are fizzling out. Most buses have their Airconditioner malfunction. Above all, remember that these buses are new- just two years.

Could you please spare 3 minutes in completing this survey on users’ perception of the Lagos BRT service.
