Ban: No Going Back On Danfo, Koropes On Oct 1 – Lagos Govt by fakot(m): 4:49pm On Jul 14
The Lagos State Government has said no going back on the planned enforcement banning operations of all unregulated commercial bus operations, specifically “Danfos” and “Koropes” along Lekki-Epe corridor, scheduled to commence on October 1, 2024.

This followed speculations making the rounds on the suspension of the plans by government.

Speaking with Vanguard, State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi and the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Sola Giwa, maintained that the move was in line with the Lagos State Strategic Transportation Master.

The duo, therefore, called for the collaboration of Public Transport Bus Operators, such as Korope/Danfo bus drivers, as government releases the restructuring plans to improve commuting experience.

Giwa added that a stakeholders meeting had been held earlier with bus operators and union leaders in the state, on the need for compliance before the due period.

Giwa described the current state of bus operations on the corridor as chaotic hence, the need for collaboration to successfully regulate and integrate the informal transport sector into the State’s Bus Reform Initiative using Lekki/Epe corridor as a pilot test.

He further explained that the Lekki Epe Corridor had been inspected by the Ministry of Transportation and Lagos Metropolitan Transport Authority, LAMATA to identify limitations of seamless traffic flow along the Expressway and adjourning roads and had mapped out systematic framework to address possible challenges.

Some of the planned solutions according to Giwa include; The restructuring of the existing unregulated Public Transport Bus Operations on the Lekki Epe Corridor, deployment of High Capacity Buses on the corridor as stated in the Lagos Transport Policy and the Bus Route Network, re-allocation and relocation of Korope/Mini buses to inner route, re-registration and recertification of all buses.

This is a good plan tho but the implementation is my issue...

If I was governor I would make an agreement with the bus owners that ply that route

1)option one move to other routes

2) option two form a cooperative of 5 drives
We give you brand new buses that meet the standard of you people can raise 5 to 10 million naira... Yes of they sale their bus they can get that

The rest would be paid in instalment over 5 years interest of 25%

5 people manage is bus and share the profit

Hmm the poor must be suffocated now or never.

They are suffocationg them financially and hopelessly.

What of those who just bought danfo for hire purchase recently?

Hmm,waste of resources.

APC has no human sympathy for the people...it shouldn't be now that most guys are going through hell.
