Just like in many urban centers in Nigeria, in Benin city, Edo state, the use of commercial motorcycle popularly referred to as "Okada" has been outlawed.

This ban has thus created a huge public transport demand that needed to be filled.

In other to satisfy that enormous demand in Benin city, especially in locations where commercial buses or cars do not ply, commercial tricycle (Auto Rickshaw) more popularly known as "Keke Napep" attempts to fill the gap.

Indeed, the demand for such means of transportation is high.

Perhaps,  as a result of the  huge demand for this mode of transportation, operators of Keke Napep in this ancient city got creative.

In Benin city, Keke Napep features contraptions designed to create an extra seat at the front row.

This unusual seating arrangement enables these tricycles to accommodate two passengers together with the rider seating in front, and with three other passengers at the rear seat.

Interestingly, the seating arrangement at the front seat  can be somewhat confusing to a visitor to the city, as determining who the Keke NAPEP rider is can be such a puzzle.

Well done Autojosh for keeping us updated especially on Automobile.
I dove my hat to you bruv.

Do not be quick to say it is greediness.

Consider their predicament first;
If KEKE NAPEP were to carry the standard number of passengers which is 3, wherein lies their gain?
I pity the KEKE riders when i see hundreds of them at Boundary market waiting for their turns..

BUT,
The Benin riders are somewhat greedy o!
4 passengers is understandable but 5 is greediness.

Five passengers
