The Lagos State government has reiterated its readiness to integrate mini and midi buses, popularly known as ‘korope’ and ‘danfo’, operating along the Lekki-Ajah axis into the state’s Bus Reform Initiative.

In a statement on Thursday by the Director of Public Affairs, Ministry of Transport, Bolanle Ogunlola, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Sola Giwa, disclosed this on Wednesday during a meeting with relevant stakeholders in Alausa.

He explained that the project is in its planning phase and will commence once all arrangements are finalised.

Reviewing the progress made so far, Giwa revealed that the documentation process for bus operators interested in the scheme is ongoing, with 10 operators having submitted letters of intent to the Ministry of Transportation, of which six have already been confirmed.

He further stated that all participating buses will undergo physical verification by the Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS) and Motor Vehicle istration Agency (MVAA) to ensure their roadworthiness and proper documentation. Once verified, the buses will be branded in the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) colours and equipped with validators.

Giwa noted that a framework is being developed to integrate union dues deductions into the e-ticketing system while also addressing the activities of hoodlums who extort transporters along the axis.

He stressed that the initiative will be test-run for three months before full enforcement. He said that once the programme is implemented, minibuses (korope) will no longer be allowed to operate along the Lekki-Ajah expressway but will be deployed to inner routes and communities.

Present at the meeting were the Permanent Secretary of MVAA, Mr Rasheed Muri-Okunola; General Manager of LASTMA, Mr Olalekan Bakare-Oki; representatives from LAMATA, LASDRI, VIS, and directors from the Ministry of Transport, amongst others.

When I told someone they can't do without all these on Lekki-Ajah, he said they will enforce it. How can they stop MC Oluomo boys from disturbing flow of traffic light by breaking mirrors with Owomida. At the end of the day, transport fees will increase again.

Bus drivers in Lagos are the maddest I have seen, but those who drive buses on the island are by far better than those on the mainland. It seems as though people lose their humanity whenever they drive mainland's yellow buses.

Yes it’s better, IF… government can regulate their activities , especially in the area of pricing just like the brt , eliminate excess dues and move them to the BRT Lane to reduce travel time

I'll just wait till I see it successfully implemented.

I thought the Lagos state government wanted to restrict korope on the Lekki-Epe expressway from October 2024
