Lagos, the center of aquatic splendor is definitely not a place you dull yourself on a Monday morning especially those living on Mainland who are working on the Island, it's normally a tussle as everyone is trying to meet up with appointment, offices and not to be caught in traffic reason why it's being called the rush hour! Mondays are usually hectic and busy with few or no bus for commuters who have no choice than to wait on a long queue.

This is the crowd at Lagos bus terminals on a typical Monday morning. This is the Berger-Ikeja BRT terminal and you can imagine the crowd at this place despite no buses at sight.

There’s a popular song by the Afrobeat musician, the late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, which says, “in Lagos, you must approach everything you do on Monday morning with a sense of urgency”.

Despite the introduction of 800 new BRT buses to the roads, it still looks as if no impact was made in terms of transportation in the city of Lagos. Transportation is the pilot that moves a megacity such as Lagos, it is, therefore, essential that the state government should design a long-lasting road map that will be sustainable and curb all traffic jams being experienced in the city of Lagos.

We can allow the Uber, Bolt, OBus, of this world to provide an alternative to the middle class who are looking for a service that provides comfort as close to their private cars.

Provision of decent public transportation service to the population at the bottom of the pyramid is where mass transit has its greatest strength and this is where our captive market is located.

How did you want them to act again? abeg, Lagos is just over populated jare

Okay,we’ve seen it. So, wetin you wan make we do now

Where da fvck is Lagos?

WORD ON THE STREET

* That new bus(es) isn't any where near 800 numbers
* Majority of them only ply Berger to Ikeja and back
* They don't even use BRT lane

8000 buses is only touching the surface...... No magic bullet........

just heard the sad news that just occurred at ogolonto btw Dangote truck and blue brt bus.

why is this site slow in updating breaking news

overrated/hyped city

silly reportage

how are these brt buses?

do they have their dedicated lanes??

what's rapid in a brt if they need to be in traffic with other vehicles??

autojosh wey be ur oga for this game already made a thread stating that these are not brt

I no Dey stay Lagos and I no get comment

Lagos needs expansion.

With good transport systems, lagos is a stone thrown from Ogun or Oyo.

The 800 bus was bought for the 2023 presidential ambition of Tinubu. They won't allow people to use it now. It's for 2023 campaign

The only solution is a Subway system. Lagos is already overpopulated, buying more buses will add to the problem instead of solving it.

When are they starting oshodi to ikorodu?

What Lagos state need is an improved train system. This will defiently solve 70% of the current traffic problem.

Seen

Lagos, Eko

Pls what’s the original population of Lagos state not that of google estimation thanks I need facts

Lagos na scam.. Too much population .. Earthquake needs to reduce it a bit

Overhype City.. Nothing really Special in Lagos.. Soweto is even Beautiful than Lagos.

Hahahahahah "overpopulation...what?" Seems you haven't been to or heard of big cities in this world.......

The 800 busses are all stuck in traffic jam.
The road network needs expanding

I don't understand why primero is given the monopoly of the BRT route...... With all the initial gragra of the new governor

have they finally banned those yellow buses from Lagos?

How you want do the subway when dem don build house everywhere?

My take is that Lagos is overpopulted and those who are just arriving need to reassess their options to go back to the village and embrace farming.
Leave a peaceful life and enjoy the serenity of the village.

Lagos population is increasing by the day, so much more buses need to be added the the BRT fleet for the system to be very effective.
