If Lagosians are willing to pay double for transport, they will have your wish. But are they? Nigerians are very price sensitive, my brother. If a Nigerian can save money by lapping someone, she would do it! |

Hol on a sec! What crowded buses r u refering tn? The Molue? Or the Danfo and Coaster buses? Never seen a crowded danfo bus, bt if u talking molues, i'll say yes. Molues r cheaper and if u can stand da heat and odour then its all yours. Taxis r way expensive! Not if u move around a lot. |

Its because Lagos is such a unique international city, it relies solely on road networks so everyone has to travel by bus or car, the people are poor so not everyone has a car so most people have to travel by buses so there are too many people to too few buses, if the trains were efficient and there were more rail networks serving important parts of the city or underground or metro lines or even ferries than maybe things might be a bit better, but thats never gonna happen really is it? so lets keep, suffering and smiling |

If you feel that Nigerians are willing to pay more for comfort, why not provide such a service? It will help. |

I think the same is kind of true in many parts of the world. Even where I live. Although the metro/bus system is good, the train is usually crowed during rush hour. People stand up holding railings, squashed together and stuff. If you think molue is crowed, i wonder what you would say about Japan's trains. |

Why do Nigerians go home on crowded buses? Because the ride is cheap, of course. Very cheap! |
