COST OF TRANSPORT AROUND LAGOS MAJOR ROUTES FOR WORKERS

Lagos is the commercial capital of Nigeria, this has impacted in a lot of things in the state including high cost of transportation around the state.

We will be taking a look at the cost of transportation around major destinations in Lagos for the working class , we will be calculating how much the working class spend going to and fro around Lagos and the cost of rent per year. We believe most Lagosians spend the same amount on transport and rent every year.

Our calculation would be cost of transport and total working days, it would be total cost in a day that is to and fro, we have a total of 261 working days in 2019

NOTE: some of this prices fluctuate a lot due to rain( sounds funny right) when rain falls in Lagos forget it the transport fare will always be high, infact sometimes you wont see buses, which make some people trek or enter bike to their destinations or if there is so much crowd that means so much money for danfo buses(yellow buses). Equally from obalende or cms, people usually would want to go to locations inside Victoria island or ikoyi you would need to enter buses to go around, do you know from obalende to bonny camp starts from ₦100 or national open university of Nigeria or Ikeja where you have to take keke to opebi, oregun or any place in Ikeja starts from ₦100.

We will start our destinations from places like Iyana ipaja, ikotun and end at the work place locations like yaba, obalende/cms, lekki/ajah, ikeja. We excluded places like abule egba because the cost of transportation from those places are very high compared to Iyana ipaja as more people enter transport from Iyana ipaja.

We are putting the average salary of the Lagos Working Class at ₦70,000 Monthly, we will be using this to

We will be using the yellow buses (danfo) as examples, as brt don’t function in some route example ikotun to oshodi or egbeda to obalende. You cant see brt routes here

Oshodi is the Link between Lagos Highland and Lagos Mainland other places include ojota,ogudu bus stop, 7up etc

As you can see Lagosians spend the same amount on Transport and Rent per year.

You could save cost by getting a place near your work place on Co-Tenant, Co-Tenant gets you cheap accommodation which you can pay monthly, equally you can share rooms in your apartments to users working near your apartment location follow the Link Below

As you can see Lagosians spend the same amount on Transport and Rent per year.

That seems excessive can any resident confirm. Anyway when the light rail is finished this issue willbe reduced.

Like for Lagos, Share for Abuja

I want to use this opportunity to salute the grand landlord of Lagos: Most High Alhaji Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu. The Jagaban of African

I don't understand but I like how it was in-depthly analysed.

good

I don't spend much though sha
Trekkers squad Na just backyard we dey follow

I detest Lagos for that soke reason. Moving from one place to another is too stressful and expensive.

How secure is your platform, how do you guarantee safety of your customers, both houselord and tenant. That is no one is intending to hurt the other.

Security should be your #1 top priority before advertisement

iyana ipaja to Oshodi is #100-150

Ikorodu to Ikeja =300
Ikeja to Ikorodu =350
750 x 261 =196011

Just get winch and fly

Lagos hnmmmm

lekki to oshodi is never N500, it's about N200 to N250, Oshodi to Lekki is about N250 to N300 and not 5H, ajah to oshodi na 4H not 5H

Lagos Bus driver are just the second scam after APC in Nigeria.From Benin to Lago=4000,within Lagos from ketu to mile 2. Bus drivers are collecting 400 naira.

Be like say una never hear Egbeda ₦500 from Oshodi before when traffic dey àbí?

Lol... I was once spending N1,450 per day on tfare alone which made it 378,450 annually.

Your Lekki/Ajah - Oshodi is false.. From Ajah, N300 at most.. From Lekki/Sandfill. 250/200..

KingKingKing:

Wow. Contenant should add miscellaneous because rain or any other unforseen contingencies may make you to spend more.
