The Lagos state government has unveiled new modern buses it wants to use to replace and phase out danfo and molues in the state. The new buses are expected to be cheaper and durable and the government advised danfo bus owners to key into the project now before it is too late.

The commissioner for transportation, Dr. Dayo Mobereola said the scheme would see to the introduction of higher capacity buses that would have 30 seats as opposed to 14/18 seats, while the buses would be Eco – friendly, air-conditioned, comfortable, for maintenance and backed by appropriate workshop which creates jobs.

Mobereola said with the introduction of the new mode of transportation, danfo buses would be displaced economically as Lagosians would be left to choose between very cheaper means of transportation and expensive danfos.

The commissioner said Lagosians would rather queue up to board buses at cheaper rate than what the danfos would offer, thus, displacing them economically, adding that some of the existing danfo drivers had already keyed into the project.

He said the National Union of Road Transport Workers had already given government its for the project.

[size=28pt]Why are they not using the train. Some part of the train line should be used. From orile to mile 2 should be used.[/size]

We are talking of vehicles/busses here for transportation around Lagos...not train from Orile to Mile 2

Eko o ni baje lailai... O baje ti

If this can be implemented to a 100%, it will give Lagos the Mega City status among the comity of African Mega Cities

It seems Mr. Ambode is out of ideas on how to spend Lagos IGR..
Anyone close to him should pls tell him that vehicles aren't infrastructures, they can improve the cost of living, but the long term economic effect is minimal as its a liability not an asset.

No be to bring eco friendly buses na maintenance be koko

1. What infrastructure do Lagos need?
2. Is this a bad development?

Wow, this is beautiful

Most 'danfos' were bought as neat 'toks'

Maintenance of the vehicles will be a challenge

hmmmmm and what is going to be used to replace danfo drivers?

In 2 years of use, they will all become more or less scraps. Same as what happened with BRT. Same as what befalls every new thing in naija.

SenatorCommonSense and 9jaJews will still complain because they are not Innoson motors

The FG owns the trains

They look kinda "toy-ish" to me. Hope they are durable enough to accommodate the stress of Gidi.

Seems only Ambode and Obiano are the only governors we have in this country.

Calm down...you just lost your cool when he mentioned Innoson. Nowa for una yorubaa...so much envy!

The most important thing is maintenance. We are really lacking in good maintenance culture.
Many of the BRT buses that were launched some years back are now an eyesore.

who be yoruba? Let all 9ja jews start using innoson motors first if other people will not do the same... Obiano launched the Anambra State City Cab Scheme with 200 cabs in December 2014, Nissan (a Japanese brand). Anambra State Mass Transit with 40 buses in February 2015, TATA (an Indian brand). #Charitybeginsathome
