Despite The Introduction Of Over 800 Buses, This Still Happens In Lagos (PHOTOS) by AutoJoshNIG: 10:31am On Aug 15, 2019 |
Lagos State, the most populous state in Nigeria, is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world. It is also considered as one of the world’s 36 mega-cities. Lagos has one of the largest, most extensive, and busiest road networks in West Africa. Sadly, Lagos has an insufficient suburban train and some ferry services. Transportation within the state is principally by road. This often leaves the internal roads and expressways congested at peak hours, due in part to the geography of the city, as well as its explosive population growth. Shortly before the advent of the Lagos BRT, Lagos was regarded as the only megacity (defined by the UN as a city with a population of over 10 million) without any organized public transport system. A new monorail system that is supposed to span the length of the Badagry expressway to Lagos Island is currently under construction. Despite the introduction of the BRT bus system and over 800 new intra-city buses by the Akinwunmi Ambode-led administration, there is still a significant deficit of public mass transit vehicles in Lagos. The photos below show the daily challenges of getting available mass transit vehicles faced by residents of Lagos state.

i dont believe 800 buses are in use as some of the existing buses are not been maintained. besides its not what you have but how you use it: there are so many 'direct buses' which often have carrying capacity but would not stop to pick passengers along their routes. 9 Likes |

Origin: The point is that despite the addition of these 800 new buses to the hundreds of thousands of Danfos, BRT, keke Napep, etc, there is still a huge demand for mass transport vehicles. It all point to the fact that other means of transportation needs to be urgently explored. For instance, more jetties needs to built, and people encouraged to use them. That in addition to the monorail will significantly reduce all these stranded people at bus stops. 8 Likes |

I just got back from an European tour, I visited Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Germany and London. These countries too are heavily populated but you need to see how thousands of trains, subways and buses helps people to connect so FAST and EASY. Dedicated rail tracks and roads for buses was clearly noticeable. Almost all the population in Denmark had bicycles, at 4pm I saw people with Suit and Ties riding their bikes home. I took a train from Copenhagen, Denmark to Malmo, Sweden and the whole trip lasted for 2 hours and 45 mins. The problem is not the population, the problem is black man-kind. We may never get it right! 90 Likes 11 Shares |

The population there is too much. I was at Sango Otta recently, I had an appointment with someone in Surulere at 8am. A friend advised me to leave the house at 4am to beat the traffic, I thought I was in Abuja, so I ignored the advice. I had to spend about 3-4hrs to travel within Lagos 1 Like |

The truth of the Matter is no matter the innovations n inventions the government decides to introduce the problem would still not be solved. Why , because lagos is too populated n the more u invent n introduce the more ppl move into Lagos. It is simple the Lagos state government cannot n will never be able to solve this problem. The only way to solve this traffic problems is to deliberately depopulate Lagos, and that can only be done by opening up other major cities n make Lagos less attractive. Of course only the FG can do this. 8 Likes |
