So I set off to computer village from Lakowe today to do some work on my Pc, on getting to the bus stop today, after a long time home, it was business as usual, but 1 thing was unusual and unexpected.

The bus I boarded to Ajah was taking only 2 passengers per sit, I was impressed that our rickety busses were at least complying, the price was bumped up a bit (N150-N250), but for the 2 per sit, it was a little token no one should complain about for the sake of their safety.

Well, to think i saw it all already, I received a greater shock when I boarded the bus from Ajah-Ikeja, at the park, they were taking 2 per sit too, and 1 at the front, it may not mean anything to people from other parts of the country, but those in Lagos can understand, well, the park officials insisted you must have a nose mask to board the bus, and to top it all, they all asked us to come and wash our hands before boarding, they provided water and soap by the side and everyone must wash before boarding, as expected, the price was bumped from N500 to N800, but if you calculate, the drivers are actually making less than what they used to when they were taking full passengers.

Update - on our way, there was a baba who somehow tricked his way into the bus without a nose mask, while moving, the driver noticed and immediately stopped the car and asked the baba to either buy a nose mask, or alight, the baba had no choice than to buy.

I feel this is a commendable effort that should be appericiated, so I felt led to share.

Lagos na wah!

Commendable,NURTW in Lagos State are really trying, this is unbelievable. I entered from Ileepo to Oshodi today for #250, it used to be #200 before,3 passengers on a seat and only one in front.

When I calculated all the fare, I was even pitying the driver cos the total amount he got is lesser than what he gets on normal day. He gave all of us sanitizer bfre we board the bus.

Even the Agbero are help in curbing this virus ...this is the first time I respect Lagos NURTW .

This is the type of Lagos we prayed for.

This is good.. Health is wealth

Nice

It's for their own good.

If they don't comply and the number of cases increases exponentially, everyone will be locked indoors again.

The fear of lockdown should be the begining of wisdom since we no dey fear the virus again.

Am really happy with this news

E shock me o

Nevertheless na the commuters go feel the brunt
Because those drivers don't care, even if they are told to carry one person at a time, they will charge the one person the fee of the whole seats....

I think government needs to also look at that too

Finally got the CORONAVIRUS SEEDS

this is the new normal

Yesterday I entered a taxi, which was supposed to carry two at the back and one at the front, the driver was carrying 4 at the back and 1 at the front against directives, we warned him to reduce his passenger, but the guy wouldn't bulge, that was how he was making mouth that no body can stop him , he told us how he dealt with a soldier last week Friday
Before he could finish making mouth, that was how we ran into checkpoint and the police asked everyone to alight, he was arrested and his vehicle impounded, that was how our commando driver began to cry and roll on the floor , I jejely completed my journey trecking, after all my destination was a stone throw.

That's commendable from the Lagos drivers. Kudos to them

Waiting to see Agege and Oshodi's own

This is quite impressive.

Now I'm tempted to go outside.

Yes, for safety, its impressive. But dont ever believe that this drivers n conductors did this out of curiosity, hell no.. Lasma is the brain behind this reform.. Who born u to carry more than stipulated. U will be arrested n ur car impounded.

Ok

Now thats good news

Good and commendable...

Commendable indeed.

500 to 800 is a small token?
That is a 62% jump in fares.
If a low grade worker resumes work,thats 35k-40kfor transport alone!
Indeed Nigerians enjoy suffering and smiling.
