COVID-19: Local Transport Company In Edo State, New Sitting Arrangement (Photos)

Transporters in Benin City, the Edo State Capital encourages social distancing in their bid to curb the spread of the dreadful COVID-19 pandemic.

This period has really shown that people of Edo State value lives over money as they adopt a new sitting arrangement for long-distance travel within the state.

From Benin-City, the Capital to other parts of the state the sitting arrangement remains two persons per row and one at the front seat near the driver.

Nevertheless, prices increased by 40 percent i.e if one paid 1000 naira from Benin City to Uromi, or Auchi now you pay #1,400. A driver when asked about the added price made it clear that it's nothing to raise alarms about as the "extra" went to security agencies on the highway ( the police and FRSC) for their tireless efforts in this period of uncertainty.

“ Simply telling them to keep up the good work. Nothing more nothing less” He concluded

A very welcome development if you ask me.

Lol Actually it was cheaper. But now that government-owned transportation companies are not running, I think these guys are banking on it. But considerate unlike in the past when they pack you with three other people on a row

Edited: Was cheaper when compared to the pay per head.

hmm!

Nice one, you sit comfortably without any disturbance.

True. It's VIP treatment.

Are you the source. If you are not kindly put link to the source. Thanks

Yes I am. I took the pictures myself.

Yes, the way to go. We just have to learn how to live with this virus until a cure and vacine is found. God is our protector above all.

Nice one, you sit comfortably withy any disturbance.

I guess u pay more right?

New sitting arrangement and increased t-fare

Nice one, atleast Petrol prices are now cheap, so the fares should remain the same

Wetin concern bus drivers , This formula must apply

No.passangers x Fare(pre_corona) = No.passangers x Fare(during_corona) + N.


Where N = greed factor

What Lagos needs

The fear of coronavirus

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

This is a big lie. The state govt' s intention was this but the reality still remains that buses now carry 3 passengers at the back, 3 at the middle and 1 at the front. When they see the govt enforcement team, they start begging some passengers to alight from the bus till they pass the enforcement team, where they will be picked up again.

If school resumes and they write exams with social distancing, many people will not graduate.

Expect the passengers to pay *3 of their transport

Ezennwa:
hmm!

Nice one, you sit comfortably without any disturbance.

then it comes back to you cos you and I pay for the vacant sit.
