Most danfo owners are also the drivers.

The danfo drivers are going to be retrained to drive the new BRT buses.

The problem hwre is what to do with the bus conductors.

lol, I like how you put it. What do you suggest should be done with the conductors?

All you need to do to is just ask before you go blubbering and making a fool out of yourself.

And that is the question on everyones lip.

"Others who spoke with our correspondent however pleaded with the state government to look into the plan holistically, by considering its implication on the lives of people who feed their families with the income generated from their daily operations as drivers and conductors.
On his part, Edwin Igwe, a driver who plies the Oshodi-Toll gate route of the city, pleaded with the government to be considerate in the execution of the policy, adding that an alternative plan should be provided for the drivers.
“Government should be considerate… some of us took these buses on ‘hired purchase’ arrangement, how does it want us to survive and pay the debt? Where do we even dump the buses? The plan is hasty and insensitive,” he said.
Explaining further, he noted that the government could as well extend the period it plans to banish the buses from the road, so it would enable affected drivers plan for other means of survival.
“Even if Ambode wants to ban the yellow buses, it should not be this year. He could as well give us a three or two years notice so that those who want to invest in other businesses would have time to plan and invest.”
Mr. Bamidele, who plies the Oshodi-Ilupeju route, said the government could as well adjust the present system by regulating the activities of the bus drivers and conductors, rather than banish them from the road.
“If you want to take something from someone, you give him another thing. The government can come up with alternatives for us or even make adjustment to the present system instead of banishing our buses from the road,” he said.
When LEGENDVIBES approached a member of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, Oshodi unit, he declined to speak with our correspondent.
Passengers react
Mixed reactions, however, trailed the news of the proposed ban among passengers who spoke with LEGENDVIBES.
“I think the plan is good and will enhance development. But it will also force people out of job. Government can look at it very well and see how it will minimize the negative effects,” a trader at Oshodi market, Sadiat Ajani, said.
“It is the best thing to come out of this (Ambode) administration, I support it hundred percent. Those drivers are so reckless and manner-less. They deserve to go,” a civil servant who declined to have his name in print, told our correspondent at Ikeja.
Others who expressed concern over the operations of the government-owned buses, said the ‘Danfo’ drivers should be spared but their routes could be defined and regulated.
“I think traders will be most affected by this plan. Let them have dedicated routes. The state-run BRT buses don’t allow traders and their goods to join the buses. Yellow bus drivers and conductors are the ones we rely on. It is possible this new system too will not allow us (traders) convey our goods in their buses. It will just lead to suffering and frustration for us (traders),” an agricultural produce trader who simply identified herself as Alimot, told our correspondent.
A civil servant who works on the Island, Ade Johnson, however, said the plan would affect the transport system in the state as the proposed government-run buses would not be as effective as the yellow bus system.
“I work in Victoria Island and I leave at Sango; only the yellow bus can ensure that when I wake up by 4:30 a.m., I will get a bus and get to office in no time,” he said.
“Most BRTs start operation around
7:30 a.m. or even at a time later than that but ‘danfo’ is already on the road by 4:00 a.m. Again, BRTs close for work by around 9:00 p.m. or thereabouts but ‘danfo’ operates till around 11:30 p.m. or 12:00 a.m.
“As you can see, if those yellow buses are banished from Lagos roads, passengers are the ones who would bear the brunt and suffer the most.”

Kenyanstar:

OK....If you say so!!!!

Hahaha Huyo Ni customer wanabeba juu juu lol

TayserMahiri:


Unfortunately wenedem, we are taking off. Anyone who cant catch us now will not in the next several decades

An i want post this an then sleep

genieluv:


Nooo way ¿¿ now i know why this thread always degenerates to insultive levels.
What was the need for that?
you guys needn't rubbish or mock Nigeria before making your points now do u?
Plzz pals, let's keep this thread civilized, educative n positively expository. Tnks

Hmm help me understand, so if a kenyan "mocks " Nigeria then we r looking for trouble but if a Nigerian doing the same thing that would be okay of him n would be cheered at... Mhhhhhh...

popizaino:
beautiful. community what so I can confirm

when did you become a validating officer?
Since you are surprised, it's at Sakumono

I hate walls, but kenya has been forced to build one on its somali border to make it easier to patrol

Some pics,,,

TayserMahiri:



lol, I like how you put it. What do you suggest should be done with the conductors?

They might have been the ticketer.

Unfortunately, the new buses are making use of e-card system for payment.

And that is one of the disadvantages of technology.

vaxx:
fine.

So its done?

Shaytun:

Danfos might have to stay cos the BRTs start operation at 7:00 am and close earlier than Danfos. The passengers will suffer. I think the best way is to leave them (danfos) to die a natural death

Shaytun:


Some of nigerians movie are available on Netflix, or you could also try IROKOTV

don't use Netflix, it's a waste of money.
The content available in most African countries are mess.
I cancelled mine,months ago

genieluv:


>>nice<< then i must commend the exquisite taste of your estate developers

lol don't be deceived!

Nowenuse:


Kenyans do not have any reasonable entertainment to offer, everyone knows that. And you are correct, they have no influence whatsoever outside East Africa.
Believe anything they feed you at your own peril.

well said... lol

The conductors should be absorbed into the new company whether as conductors or other wise. They should protest.

However, with the Nigerian population, the minibuses are needed. I doubt the state will have enough buses

Hati13:

My reaction too

Muafrika2:

Exactly my sentiment. State transport can hardly be adequate

TayserMahiri:


The most extreme northerner here is a middlebelter Guy called Nowenuse, he has been looking for a more northerly buddy all this time but hasn't been successful

cause no body takes u guys serious any longer, imagine nairaland with population of over 3millions subscribers but having less than ten people debating u guys?

Lol, no that was before.

I took BRT bus to work everyday now at around 4:30am.
That was the same thing people were saying during the banning of Molue.

It is inevitable, new BRT buses are already being introduced.

Shaytun:

Why can't they just be working in the bus to help passengers? Or if Nigeria gets better with tourism they can be tourist guides

Naija 4 life.
