Lagos Medium And High Capacity Buses To Begin Operations by BrandSpurNG: 6:17pm On Apr 12, 2019 |
The Lagos State Government is set to present 820 medium and high capacity buses under its public transportation Bus Reform Initiative to meet the yearnings of its citizenry. The State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Ladi Lawanson, who disclosed this today at the Secretariat, Alausa, noted that the deployment of the new buses will address the inadequacies of the present unreliable transportation system in Lagos metropolis. According to him, the State Government designed the Bus Reform Project to correct the many challenges inherent in the present system, through the replacement of yellow mini-buses with air-conditioned vehicles of the uniform specification, predictable bus schedules, and routes supported by appropriate infrastructure. Explaining further, Lawanson said 75 of the 100 bus shelters earmarked for the first phase of the Bus Reform project have been completed to support the operations of the buses. Allaying fears that the existing transport unions members will be sent into the labour market, Lawanson stated that 800 of the buses will be released to private operators through the operating lease model which has incorporated the current road transport operators – National Union of Road Transport Workers, (NURTW) and the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) – as part of the Bus Operating Companies. While congratulating Lagosians for being part of the laudable project aimed at ensuring a better life for all, Lawanson urged citizens to take ownership of the project by guiding against misuse and vandalization when the buses commence operations.

Good move, I hope there is a maintenance plan in place to ensure the buses are properly managed. It will be disappointing and a waste of taxpayers money if these buses are withdrawn from the roads after a year due to poor maintenance and recklessness on the part of drivers. 5 Likes |

In as much this is laudable, my fear is the road these bus will ply. I really don't think Lagos as had it this bad on road , all Lagos road now is filled with life threatening potholes and the current governor is less concerned. 2 Likes |

Lagos roads are too congested already resulting in traffic and waste of man hours. Introducing new buses to add to the existing traffic gridlock is compounding the problem we are yet to solve. A simple solution to ease traffic in Lagos roads and move mass number of people easily and comfortably is to construct a fast light rail system connecting major points in the city. The rail should connect Ikorodu to the Island, Island to Epe, Badagry to Oshodi. This is long overdue. 3 Likes 1 Share |
