If you are affected by this increase,tell us the route you ply and how much was added to the old fare....
No doubt this increase will impact heavily on those who do not have cars and ply long routes to work...I mean,salaries are not being increased as well so this is not good news at all...
Even dabfo buses has have increased since.
ReplyDeleteYes, danfo too.. My bro resumed back to work untop small salary ó.. Bus of #300 before is now #700
DeleteThis is really bad time for us Nigerians. Standard of living keep getting very poor. Most companies now pay 50% salary. Went out last week. A place I will normally spend 400! Going nd coming turn out that I spent 1k. Imagine now going to island were my office is. Is really not funny o. Funny tin is that these prices wont go back to normal even if situations changes.hmmm.
Delete@Stella..Do I blame them...TATA Buses and Red Buses that have capacity of 60passengers now carry about 30...Those who get a seat get to pay for the other seats as well as passengers who stand in those buses prior to COVID-19.Bus owners money must be complete irrespective.Unfortunately the passengers bear the brunt..with No salary increment...Tough Country
DeleteOnly in Nigeria. No jobs, no money, but everything is on the increase everyday. How will one survive? Just how???
ReplyDeleteHelp me ask them
DeleteBRT buses should be free for at least 3 months or worst case fares slashed to half just to mitigate the effect of this Covid-19 on the masses.
DeleteLagos state govt., you guys have done so well. Kindly look into this as well.
When my brother took ikorodu to oshodi for 1k,I thought he was lying.Will salaries be increased.
ReplyDeleteSalary increased ke, In this Nigeria? Impossicant
DeleteSalaries increased in this country? Never!! So many people are going to be jobless at the end of the day.
DeleteOmg 😱, that’s a whole lot. That is just plain wickedness.
DeleteSalaries won't be increased oh, imagine someone earning 50000naira in a month with transportation hikes
DeleteIt's well
The Lagos workers bear the brunt of this insensities.
ReplyDeleteThe hardship is becoming like a Norm in this naija. God help Us
They will not increase salaries. Evn keke's around my areas have doubled their prices. It's bad enough that people were sufferring, this will now make it worse. May God help us all. Amen.
ReplyDeleteAmen Candy. I really don't understand the economics of Nigeria. Nothing adds up in this country.
DeleteIbadan is different ooo,covid did not change transportation fare at ib
DeleteYou right and this is because they have not been practicing any social distancing. We still have 3 at the back and two by the driver side. Even bikes still picks 2 passengers if you are comfortable with it. So difference with previous arrangement before covid-19.
DeleteEven in p.h TP fare has increased because of the social distance rule
ReplyDeleteThis is not good at all.
ReplyDeleteWhich way Nigeria? Cutting cost by the government should have been the real palliative for the citizens, considering many lost their jobs and salaries were slashed for some.
ReplyDeleteNot nice at all
✅
DeleteHonestly Chocolat, it is a very wrong move by the government.
DeleteIt is well with Nigeria,
ReplyDeleteMay we get it right some day , salaries have been slashed , people have lost their jobs , too much craziness going on .
Now people would be spending a large chunk of their paycheck on transportation.
That is it..When we run a ''Baba Sope'' Government in Lagos..When you make everything monopoly in Lagos, this is what you get..
ReplyDeleteIncluding yellow and white buses, even private car owners that normally take us to work on the Island have also increased theirs. All these with no increment in pay, Lord help us.
ReplyDeleteIt will only be fair if they increase price and maintain social distance guidelines.
ReplyDeleteBRT buses plying Ikorodu route didn't maintain social distance guidelines last week.
Danfos also increased their fare but only 1 in 40 comply with the guidelines.
Na God dey sustain us for this country because everything is now expensive. From Biscuits to detergents.
Very soon Alvan Ikoku will join Tafawa Balewa on the bench.
They should never have increased prices. A lot of countries actually stopped collecting bus fares because of this pandemic.
DeleteYes ooo
DeleteNigeria will get there someday
This is totally unfair , How will the masses manage? The yellow buses have increased their fare by 100%.. Please the Governor should launch the new buses they promised us. It's well with Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteeven yellow buses.
ReplyDeletei took mile 2 to Apapa 300against 150 or 200.
The way we are going, we are all at the mercy of God
ReplyDeleteOur system is not considerate of the common man, seems everything is made to frustrate and put you down if you are not among the elites.... increase on food stuffs and transport, some people has been laid off from work for no just reason at all.
ReplyDeleteIt takes the special grace of God to make it in this country, that is why if you can make it in 9ja, you definitely can make it anywhere else in the world
Nigeria , God help us all where I work salaries were slashed in two yet we are constantly exposed to patients that may have the corona virus , our ogas at the top fo not give a hoot they earn in millions yet they never agree to see this patients but expose us soon As I get the chance out of Nigeria ain’t looking back cos guess wat people no one care
ReplyDeleteThe route I play was increased from 120 to 150 to 200 when the Covid 19 incident started.
ReplyDeleteNow how much will they increase it to?
The worst is that you will get to the bus stop by 6am and will not get a bus till 8am or later.
You end up getting to the office late, after waking up early.
This is very discouraging 😥
stella no social distancing in brt today o...from ajah to oshodi full load
ReplyDeleteGod will help us. I pay more transport fare to work now.
ReplyDeleteIn all this, I thank God I have a job.God will bless the remaining salary for me.
It is well.
People complain about everything!! Shebi they are hungry and want to go to work? Hen let them go to work na.. instead of us to be patient and let things get better. No they are hungry.
ReplyDeleteFuel price has really gone down, that alone should help cushion the effect of social distancing in public vehicles.. but we must always be against govt. Let the hungry eat to their fill.
Oil price has reduced now. Even if there is going to be increase in T.fare, it shouldn't be too much.
ReplyDeleteI calculated how much I have spent on transport for this month, almost 16thousand. On top how much salary?.. Only God will help us to survive the effect of this covid
ReplyDeleteNigeria's problem is simply leadership challenge. The problem with Lagos state is just giving power to only one person to monopolize and exploit others. Increase in the state's transportation would automatically give rise to multiple increase except employees take home. If everyone leave Lagos because of the difficulty, who will build the economy of lagos. Should the state be increasing fares in this trying and difficult times? Are lagosians not suffering enough? Shoula all graduates become tailors, hair dressers, vulcanizers painters, road sweepers, drivers etc? Is it a crime to live in lagos? Why is it a sin and crime to be born a Nigerian living in Nigeria? If we all RELOCATE ABROAD, who will these people govern?
ReplyDeleteIkeja to berger in the morning is between N300 to N400. When coming back they will be chanting between N300 to N500. Na wah.
ReplyDelete😲😲😲😲
DeleteFrom 100/150 to #300?
From Ikeja to Ketu is now #200 as against #150. That's a bit reasonable.
But you see those buses plying Ikorodu and Island, their greed will be the end of them.
Even brt owned by govt, God is watching
ReplyDeleteThis is a really bad time for Nigerians
