It is no news that the Lagos state government is really to roll out about 800 new BRT buses on Lagos roads. These buses will help to relieve Lagosians of the burden of transportation across the state.

Last year, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode said plans have been firmed up to roll out the Bus Reform Project of the State Government in March with 820 high and medium capacity buses, saying that the initiative would redefine public transportation and make the State to be globally competitive.

The Governor, who said this during an extensive inspection tour of ongoing projects across the State which lasted from morning till late in the night, said the initiative was basically designed to inject 5,000 buses, modern terminals, facilitate ease of mobility for residents and also rev up Lagos economy, among others.

The Lagos Bus Reform Initiative is aimed at giving Lagosians an integrated public transportation system. It would kick start this year with 820 buses for Phase 1A which is the Ikeja Transport Hub and it will cover places like Ikeja, Oshodi, Abule Egba, Ojota, Maryland and Pen-Cinema

These are some amazing facts about the new BRT Buses that not privy to the public...

1. All the buses are equipped with CCTV cameras
2. They have USB points where you can charge your phone, etc
3. All the buses have free wifi (internet) for all users
4. There is never a dull moment for passengers as the buses all come with TVs for news, sports, music, and entertainment.
5. There are special spaces for the physically challenged, pregnant women and the aged.

So, thinking of going on a tour? Maybe a BRT bus won't be a bad idea.

Nice one, it remains maintenance culture which we lack !!

So bad. Some greedy APC leaders didn't allow Ambode do what he intends doing but understand he is also greedy

Greed meet greed = greediness

Dem for just allow Ambode Continue.

The new face of Lagos.

What's the cost and how often do the busses move. Can one buy bus passes for things other than single rides.

All the buses have free wifi (internet) for all users
4. There is never a dull moment for passengers as the buses all come with TVs for news, sports, music, and entertainment.

Lol this be a nice way to spend 15-30 minute trip.

Are you claiming he was rigged out like Bernie Sanders was by DNC? I haven't seen any proof he was cheated in his primary.

Dem don pursue this good man.

It's really unfortunate that Ambode is leaving. The guy has good plan but failed to work with party members.

Shameless iPods face your kerosene sharing pig governors and leave Lagos alone to the yorubas

So much bitterness. Who broke your heart today?

These kinds of development that is alien to igbo land is what some children of perdition from the east are shouting OTO GE for so they can install their kerosene sharing party in Lagos to drag the progress of the past 20 years in the mud. Abia needs OTO GE, not Lagos.

Oga. Because the useless ikpeazu shared kerosene doesn't mean you'll spam all the thread.

I don't know how much they sell a litre of kerosene, but I am damn sure it more expensive than a bottle of coke.

Who is more stupid? Lagos or Abia?

Give those sexy looking BRT busses end of this year, u no go recognize dem sef

Good initiative however, if there's no dedicated facility for the maintenance of these buses the scheme may not be successful.

Wow! That's great.

kaypling:
They actually have service stations around Lagos. I know at least 3, Oshodi, Anthony & Yaba. Equipments fully supplied, installation going on but contractors waiting for Ambode to pay. This has been his problem so far, swift payments. It's not like Ambode doesn't have ideas but he's very bad with paying contractors, also speaking from personal experience

After 3 weeks, the cctv cameras will be sold.
The tv will find its way into a conductor's bedroom
After using the wifi to download porn, nobody will tell lagos govt to stop subscribing data

He didn't do anything abeg the train alone would have created jobs and free our roads and people will be able to do business. Buying buses is not rocket science jare. He performed poorly let me tell you worst lagos state governor.

pray they will maintain it.
