Lagos State Govt Increases Bus Fares And Cites Spiraling Diesel And Operating Costs

Did you know that the Lagos State Government has announced an increase in fares for all regulated Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in the state?
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, gave the approval of a flat rate increase by N100 in fares on Thursday, June 30,2022.









This applies to all Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and Standard routes.

According to the report, with the increase, a BRT bus ride from Ikorodu – TBS will now cost N600 from N500; while Berger to Ajah is now N700, up from N600. Oshodi to Abule Egba will cost N450 from N350 and Abule-Egba-CMS-Obalende will attract a fare of N600.

The Governor, in consenting to the fare increase also approved a proposal for a bailout for the bus operating companies (route franchise operators/concessionaires); in order to cushion the effect of the harsh operating environment; safeguard private partnership investment, and forestall the demise of formalised bus operations in the state.

  1. With little element of constructive reasoning.

    What of the price of diesel and other things comes back to normal, will they as a leader, willing to go back to the normal fares prices?

    Again, what happens to the minimum wages paid the the state government workers? I think that also should be increased and implemented immediately.


    Just my take

  3. Apc and Pdp has nothing to offer us from 2023, rather they will impoverish us the more. Get your pvc and vote an educated, competent, healthy, young, considerate, empathetic, kind and incorruptible candidate in the name of Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate and thank me later.

  6. The reality on ground is that operational cost is high. It's normal and besides, 100 naira is minimal and reasonable.

    1. Why can't Lagos State cushion this cost to help the masses? Are we honestly saying there's no money anywhere budgeted to cushion the cost of diesel and other operational costs?

      Say No to PDP and APC, let all these old thieves excuse us to build our nation.

    3. The masses know how much fuel, especially diesel, has increased worldwide. 100 naira increase is very reasonable compared to the commercial option.
